In countries around the world, exorcists are gathering to discuss the sudden surge in demand for their services. They are also planning to discuss the lack of formally trained exorcists, as well as common misconceptions of what an exorcist really does.
...
While there had been a decline in the numbers of exorcists worldwide, this is changing today. Since 1999 the number of Polish exorcists has surged from 30 to over a 100, for example.

Has anyone ever noticed that only Catholics and Christians ever get possessed by demons? Ever seen a pagan possessed by a demon? I had a vision a long time ago in which a church had everyone in it trapped, and all were being tortured by demons. I didn't think too much of it at the time, but this brought it to mind again. Are the demons coming for those who believe in them and give them power? Maybe so, i will be watching this.

You're right. I just wasn't considering Santeria, Macumba, Umbanda, Candomble, and the like to be "Pagan". Although they'd certainly be considered heathen by most Christians (if not all).
The 'real' Pagan religion (followers of Thor!) wear the bear-sark in battle, and were possessed by the spirits of animals.

After stories like the one about the possession gripping more than a dozen girls in that school in Trinidad and Tobago, and that incident in France where several people jumped out a window after they through they saw a demon, I tend to wonder what incidents we aren't hearing about.
There must be significant things afoot, because the demand for the services of an exorcist has spiked all over the world. Meetings are being held this week in Boston, Warsaw, and apparently elsewhere.
Increase in all sorts of things, from UFOs to demons. Strange things are afoot, and preparations are being made...
I added links to recent threads about American bishops saying "more exorcists needed," and the story "Panic as Massive Possession Grips School." The comment from the American bishops is obviously related, but I think the other story is related as well.

Paris, Oct 24 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Eleven members of a family jumped out of a window of their home on Paris’ outskirts fearing a ‘devil’ was attacking them. One of them – a four-month-old girl – died.
The incident took place in La Verriere town when a woman mistook her African-born husband, who was naked at that time, for a ‘devil’ and began crying loudly, waking up the other people in the house.
The man had woken up at night to feed their infant daughter.
A clash broke out in the house, leading to the man being stabbed and thrown out of the house. His attempt to break in scared his family members and 11 of them jumped out of the window.
