Arshiya Sharma was a contestant on the Season 19 premiere of the American reality show.

America’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell was expecting a Disney-like performance, but he got something straight out of the classic horror film The Exorcist instead.

She shocked British music mogul Cowell and the other celebrity judges – Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel – with a contortionist performance that had some members of the audiences covering their mouths and shouting in disbelief.“I am a dancer, but I don’t want to be like others, I want to be different,” she said. “So I tried doing gymnastics and added some flexibility moves into my dance to be different.”Shortly after, crew members rolled out a creepy-looking dollhouse.

“It’s like The Exorcist,” Cowell commented, referring to the gravity-defying moves by the possessed girl, played by American actress Linda Blair, in the 1973 film.“When you said you were going to leave to change, I thought you were going to come back with a pretty dress,” said German-American supermodel Klum.
