Polish Priest Claims Hateful Texts Are Sent By Demons
A Polish priest claims he has been getting hate texts - from a demon.
Parish priest Father Marian Rajchel from Jaroslaw, a town in south-eastern Poland, said he started getting the texts after carrying out an exorcism on a teenage girl.
But he said that the attempt to drive out the devil from the girl's soul clearly failed, and that it was now using the teenager to attack him by using mobile phone messages.
He told local media: "The author of these texts is an evil spirit who has possessed her soul."
He said that the devil and his followers were not shy about using modern technology but that in many cases their actions were not identified as being the work of evil.

A man who police say had been drinking was involved in a road rage incident during a downpour Tuesday evening and was injured when he was run over by his own pickup truck.
Joseph H. Carl, 48, 1012 NE 15th Place, drove his truck into the rear of a vehicle in front of him that was stopped at a traffic light at 2500 NW 43rd St. around 6:50 p.m., according to a Gainesville Police Department report.
Carl then jumped out and began banging on the driver's window and yelling at the woman inside, apparently neglecting to put his pickup into park.
The driver of the other vehicle was frightened and drove away, leaving nothing to hold back Carl's Dodge 1500 truck.
The truck began to roll, and Carl, standing in front of the vehicle, put out his arms and tried to stop it, but it ran over him, the report said.
Police and paramedics arrived, but Carl refused medical treatment, the report said.

Dumb Cops: Town Marshal Accused Of Stealing Son's Girlfriends' Underwear
A law enforcement official in Millersburg, Indiana, is facing criminal charges after allegedly admitting to stealing underwear from his son's girlfriend.
Town Marshal David Keith Hathaway, 59, has been charged with two counts of conversion, a class A misdemeanor, after allegedly taking panties belonging to his son's girlfriend, who lives in his house.
The victim told Indiana State Police she first suspected something was going on in October 2013, when she found a pair of her panties in a gallon-sized bag, along with several other pairs of female underwear. The bag with the purloined panties were hidden in a safe belonging to Hathaway, the Elkhart Truth reports.
Both the victim and her boyfriend, Hathaway's son, confronted the suspect about his panty collection and he told them it was a joke.

Derek Jeter Will Get Unlimited Lap Dances And Lifetime Free Entry At One New York City Strip Club
Who needs retirement gifts like a rocking chair and gold watch? Nothing says congratulations on a brilliant baseball career quite like freebies at a... strip club?
An all-nude joint in New York City is offering Derek Jeter and the rest of the Yankees organization free lap dances Sept. 7, the same day that the team is officially honoring the captain.
All Yankee employees will receive free admission and two free lap dances, the Show Palace in Queens announced. Plus, the dancers will be painted in pinstripes.
If Jeter himself were to show up, a rep tells The Huffington Post, he "gets unlimited lap dances and food and a lifetime free-entry pass to Show Palace as a thank you for his years of service as a New York Yankee."
