We have accounts of UFOs and alien abductions, too.

There are two differences between eyewitness reports of UFOs and eyewitness accounts of demonic activity. The first is the reliability and character of the witnesses. Secondly, there is no positive reason for believing that these phenomena have occurred, while the existence of witchcraft and demonic activity can be demonstrated positively.

Here's an audio interview with a real life exorcist that you can listen to for free.

In this book, an exorcist tells his story.

Nope. There are plenty of people of good reliability and character who claim to have seen flying saucers and space aliens.

Nope. Both are supported by the same sort of anecdotal evidence (and both claims are so extraordinary that this sort of anecdotal evidence simply does not cut the mustard).

Sorry, but I won't stipulate this point. If you want to make this assertion, you will have to prove it. Your own biases don't count as evidence.

while the existence of witchcraft and demonic activity can be demonstrated positively.

You keep saying this, but you have yet to demonstrate anything more substantial than the same type of evidence which exists for UFO sightings and alien abductions. Citing yet more anecdotal reports proves nothing.

Again, do you understand the distinction between anecdotal and empirical evidence?
