Websites containing content on the occult may expose internet surfers to devilish influences, even succumbing to satanic possession, warn Polish exorcists.

The ultra-conservative Catholic Nasz Dziennik daily writes that many internet sites dabble in the occult, as well as magic, tarot readings as well as the setting and lifting of curses in exchange for money.

According to exorcists quoted by the daily, such websites have an increasing influence on younger viewers, who may find themselves becoming possessed by Satan himself.

While the internet may be used as bountiful resource of knowledge, not everything found on the web is worthy of attention, the daily warns. (jb)
