Legion

A collection of demons exorcised from a traveller by Jesus. The man initially identifies himself as Legion, referring to the multitude of spirits within. Onces exorcised, the spirits move in to a herd of pigs who promptly drown themselves. The quote from the traveller, "My name is Legion, for we are many," has been reused excessively in popular culture.
