Have you ever wondered why voodoo only seems to work in the most poverty-stricken, illiterate, third-world country in this hemisphere? I've never seen or heard of it working in, say, Des Moines. Have you? I really don't know if the Exorcist was based on a real story or not, but I really don't believe everything the Catholic church says, besides, what better way to make people do what you want them to do than to threaten to twist their heads around.

Why not listen to a Real Audio interview with Fr. James LeBar, the exorcist for the Archdiocese of New York whose team of priests performs about twenty exorcisms per year, or read about the true story behind The Exorcist movie.

There are people in Miami and New Orleans who would say Voodoo works there, as well.

I don't believe it works, myself, but "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, than are dreamt of," to coin a phrase.
