Jewish exorcism is real
On some occasions souls of dead people will possess a human body so that they can communicate their problem and hopefully have it resolved.
Those souls will require an exorcism. These troubled souls are trapped between two worlds. They're no longer living, but they can't move on to the spiritual realm.
They're deeply tormented and they need to be healed.
The Exorcist must know the name of the being that's possessing its victim in order to have power over it.
The Exorcist communicates with the soul to try to convince it to surrender its name.
The exorcist will say, "I am going to say petitionary prayers for your soul. And I take it upon my authority to say that if you cooperate with me in this matter and you agree to leave the victim without causing her any further harm, I will personally guarantee that you will be admitted into Gehinnom."
And the exorcist wasn't only dealing with the soul doing the possessing, it was trying to expel something else, something much more sinister.
There is a kind of satanic demon that is like the prison guard that is attending all the time to that lost, tormented soul.
The exorcist would recite special prayers to banish the satanic overseers so that they could reach the soul and help the soul be freed.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
