I'm an exorcist - these chilling cases are how I know the Devil is real
Father Carlos Martins [who is also peddling his book] has performed many exorcisms during his 20 years of ministry, cleansing people taunted by voices, blackouts and vanishing wounds.
'Exorcists are often asked whether the demonic behavior depicted in the famous 1973 film, The Exorcist, is accurate,' said Father Martins.
'Except for one phenomenon — the three hundred sixty–degree head turn by the possessed — everything in the movie depicts what a possessed person might do.'
The horrors of demon possession that he has witnessed over the past two decades included levitation, dramatic changes in facial features and an aversion to God.
Father Martins described an exorcism he performed on a middle-aged woman and when it 'was about to begin, she locked arms with a man whose job it was to restrain her and threw him over her head as if he were a rag doll.'
'The man was over six feet tall and weighed more than three hundred pounds. Doing a complete flip in the air, he landed on the floor ten feet in front of her.
'The woman then pointed her finger at the nearest light switch on the wall, about twelve feet away. One of the screws holding the switch's cover plate unscrewed itself and darted into her open right hand through the air.
'She drove it into her left forearm. Later, in the same session, she struck me in the face with such force that I needed two surgeries to repair the damage I sustained to my skull.'
In his new book, 'The Exorcist Files: True Stories About the Reality of Evil and How to Defeat It', Father Martins reveals some of the chilling cases he has personally encountered which show the reality of the Devil and his minions.
'When I walk into a room to conduct an exorcism, the contempt and disdain of the ancient serpent, the one who refused to obey God, the one who caused our first parents to fall, the one who delights in every human misfortune and suffering, meets me head-on.'
**one especially retarded story**
One of Father Martin's most harrowing encounters came from young couple Cheryl and Mark. The couple failed to get pregnant, so she started collecting dead insects, including crickets, grasshoppers, hornets, moths, and butterflies, and putting them next to the empty crib.
'Someone told me they would help me get pregnant,' Cheryl told Mar.
'When they die, their spirits hang around their bodies looking for a place to form new life. Death releases life energy. I want that energy to make a baby happen inside my womb.'
The cribs then began to be filled with dead squirrels and birds, increasing Mark's worries about his wife who had also paid thousands of dollars to a psychic who told her to use the dead animals' life energy to become pregnant.
Mark sought help from his Methodist minister, who said, 'You need to go to the Catholics for help with this. They're the only ones with a handle on this kind of thing.'
Father Martins arrived at their home to speak with Cheryl who turned and said, 'Why did you bring this bastard priest here!'
'Who are you?', Father Martins asked.
'You know who the f*** I am', Cheryl replied.
After eight exorcism sessions, she was cleansed.

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"
