Demons prefer air freshener

I mentioned Paranormal State in my last post on “ghostbusters” Ed and Lorraine Warren. At that time I thought the show had plumbed the depths of duuuhhhh, but that was before I watched the episode rebroadcast tonight. A middle-aged, menopausal woman was experiencing poltergeist activity in her house, and Lorraine Warren declared that hormonal changes other than puberty can create such disturbances (poltergeists are most often reported in the homes of young teenagers, surprise surprise). But that wasn’t the funny part. The funny part was when Ryan Buell and a priest set up camp in the woman’s living room and Buell shouted, “We command you to make your presence known! I know you have thrown potpourri! If you are here, throw some now!”
