Intercontinental Exorcism via Skype Video Call

An Israeli rabbi tries to dispossess a Brazilian student, according to The Jewish Chronicle. Jewish exorcism over SkypeOver Skype. I'm not making this up. A video of Rabbi Batzri and his backup team on the Skype call.

“After it was determined that it would be extremely difficult to bring the student to Israel, arrangements were made to remove the dybbuk using Skype and a computer, permitting the rabbi and the student to see each other,” kikar.net said.

Aside from avoiding possession-by-dybbuk, this story shows how small communities in diaspora continue to strengthen ties to each other over the Internet.

People now ask if you can do the work over a Skype video call before buying airplane tickets. Skype's free in-network calling also means you can take all the time your exorcism needs; hours in this case.

Another proof point that Skype disintermediates international telephone companies and airlines.
