A famous account of supposed Demonic possession, which took place in Plymouth (England) in 1820. It centred on a 10 year old boy, John Evens, who was said to exhibit all the symptoms of a Biblical demoniac, having fits, dancing convulsively, speaking in different voices, and apparently relaying the utterances of a demon. After medical intervention (bleeding and blistering!) failed a Methodist minister, James Heaton, was called in and undertook two exorcisms, apparently with success. Heaton first published an account of the case, under the title "The Demon Expelled [etc.]" in Plymouth in 1820. The book attracted considerable attention, and some criticism, which the author addressed in a greatly expanded second edition, which was released, re-titled as "The Extraordinary Affliction, and Gracious Relief of a Little Boy" in 1822
