I’m an exorcist… the six signs someone is secretly possessed – and the terrifying case that still haunts my dreams
As an ordained exorcist, the TV priest has learned how to confront fearsome spirits in the unlikeliest of places - and says he has faced ghouls so malevolent they’ve left him fearing for his life.
His viral exorcisms on Discovery+ shows The Yorkshire Exorcist II and Help My House Is Haunted have shocked viewers, but Ian says the truth is even darker than what’s shown on screen.
In one episode, which aired earlier this year, he met with Shaun Williamson, who played Barry Evans on EastEnders, to help cast out a violent spirit from the actor's home.
"I have experienced beds moving and people who have no clue how to speak Latin speak it fluently," he says.
"I have felt the tightness around my throat. I've stuttered or stammered my words because the entities are trying to prevent me from quoting the Bible.
Ian says the spirits and demons he encounters can be so malevolent that it's left him fearing for his and his family's life.
"And I have a rule that whenever I perform an exorcism, I stay away from home overnight just to make sure that I don't bring anything back with me.
"And that has happened before where I've been very confident that I thought I've got rid of that entity, and then it appears in that room with me.
"It then becomes a battle between you and this demonic entity, not another priest, not another colleague with you, not the person who's possessed. Just you and this entity.

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"
