Exorcisms may be on the rise
The Catholic Church has always believed in the idea of demonic possession -- of the fight, within the individual, between good and evil, says CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips.

They see dead people: Ghost hunters visit prison
In the basement of the old jail in Mount Holly, N.J., John Kurkis probes the inky darkness with a sound recorder and an infrared thermal thermometer. He's hunting for ghosts.

At least that’s the story here. If you believe in ghosts...
