Go listen to Dr Dan Schneider. Former military helicopter pilot and exorcist Assisstant. Don’t listen if you want to stay ignorant.

There is a thorough vetting process with mental health professional involved. Of people that "Request" an exorcism about 75% are determined to not be demonic. The remaining cases were demonic possession or oppression are vetted and confirmed, another 60-70% are dismissed because the person is not willing to return to the church or is unwilling to let go of whatever mortal sin they are grasping onto.
So the number of actual exorcisms is not actually that high. There are tons of writings that can be found from catholic exorcists. There are accounts that are completely unexplainable by mental illness so you either have to believe there is something going on or that that all of these priests are lying in a situation where there is little they can personally gain.

The enemy is real. When we open doors to the demonic, they don’t care if it was “just for fun.” Our approach to witchcraft as a “fun game” has been one of the greatest victories won by the kingdom of darkness in modern times - hiding in plain sight for unsuspecting victims. Widespread participation in this “experience” by the people of Baton Rouge will steadily put more and more souls under demonic influence.
Can someone provide an example of someone being put under demonic influence? I mean if it is that easy to open doors to the demonic you would think there would be demons all over the place.

Regardless if you believe in this stuff, it’s one of those things where you’re best off not trying it

Yes really. You do not walk into a church say you are possessed and get an exorcism. Psychologists are almost always involved and at minimum behavioral health tests are universally a requirement.

Read the accounts. Once you read the accounts you have no choice to believe but either A) They are liars B) We are dealing with something we cannot see nor understand. Someone speaking languages they do not know, eye rolling into the back of the head, an immediate reaction to a drop of holy water, unnatural strength. These are accounts from numerous catholic priests in the United States. They are either liars or they are not. Misunderstanding what they see is not on the table with some of these accounts.

Why?

heard a priest one time use an example when someone used a ouija board just for “fun” that if you open your front door just for fun and someone is standing there with a knife, it doesn’t matter that you were just doing it for fun, the door is open and it is too late.
Ouija boards are harmless. They have no real history and were created as a game in the late 1800s. The boards themselves do nothing, you could stand in a room without one and call on a spirit to show you a sign that’s it there and get the same result. It either is there or isn’t.
Seance is a whole different deal. It involves concentrated energy and specific incantations and burning specific herbs, candles, etc arranged in a specific way. And it usually involves calling on a specific spirit or demon by name. There is history of such witchcraft and the rituals are detailed in many ancient grimore books. It’s not something anyone should attempt or participate in

I didn’t know they were doing this. Now I want to go 
It’s excellent free marketing for them.

You say you’re catholic. So do you not believe in Jesus’ miracles or that he rose from the dead? If not you’re not catholic.

I've read accounts and most of the events like speaking foreign languages are completely wrong. They make gibberish sounds and occasionally a few sounds might make up a phrase but it's a product of apophenia in the observers.
