First time caller, Hi, Edward, thanks 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: for calling. Yeah, good moring. George. Comment concerning exorcisms that 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: I heard you think about a few minutes earlier. Right 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to uh in one as a mental 19 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: health fasional AMA create C holder in that particular area, 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: and your guests was right that practically all people that 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: feel like they need an exorcism actually have a mental 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: health issue. But my job on this particular exorcism was 23 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: to rule it out, and I did and sat in 24 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: only exorcism and was able to monitor an actual increase 25 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: in the person's body temperature as the exorcism proceeded. So 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: this was more than just a person thinking that they 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: needed one and and reacted accordingly. I was able to 28 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: actually feel the increase in body temperature as the exorcism progress, 29 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: so you know they're into something too. Bit was it 30 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: scary being part of it? It really was. Yes, the 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: all the lights are out in the church that ypt 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: just for a couple of candles and so forth, and 33 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: then there was a certain amount of right to Yes, 34 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: it certainly was. Uh. But year before I had actually 35 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: questioned the validity of of an exorcism, But in this 36 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: particular case, I was actually able to pick up on 37 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: the increase in body temperature of the person that was 38 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: undergoing the exorcism, So it pretty much made me believe 39 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: that believed in them. Yes, or was it a successful exorcism? Edward? 40 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: It took four sessions. We had to uh, we had 41 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: to go back the original session in three additional ones. 42 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: But but it was successful. Yes, I've kept up with 43 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: the patient over the years since then and uh and 44 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: uh so far so good. Yes? Or in in the 45 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: person who performed the exorcism? Was it a priest? It 46 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: was Catholic priest, yesterir And can you tell us what 47 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: area of the country it was in? It was in 48 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: the in the state of Alabama. It wasn't Alabama, Okay? Yes? Uh, boy, 49 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: I bet your male female patient it was a middle 50 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: aged female yes or uh? And uh? And I, like 51 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: I said, I had done all the necessary testing uh 52 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: prior to agreeing that she needed to underdude at least 53 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: take on the exorcism, and there were no mental health 54 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: issues that would uh would college one to think that 55 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: it was a mental health problem rather than uh some 56 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: type of possession or at least obsession. Yesda, Did she 57 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: have any guttural voice is or anything like that? Uh? No, 58 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: not really. I didn't notice anything unusual about that at all, 59 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: except uh there was a time or two that uh 60 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: that she cried just a little bit. Uh. But nothing 61 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: other than that though. So the main thing, though, that 62 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to form out was that I was actually 63 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: able to uh detect an increase our arise in body 64 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: temperature as this was going on, and and I'm assuming that, uh, 65 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: I guess you could say it was at that particular 66 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: time that the demonic was actually leaving her body. I 67 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: suppose you could say she's in from ninety eight point six, 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: what did it go up to? Went up about probably 69 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: one oh one or something like that. Wow, that's that's 70 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: a big jump. It was a marked increase. Yes, it 71 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: was something that that I would not have expected and 72 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't have believed because I was not necessarily necessarily 73 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: and I had to get up that I've never actually 74 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: felt that exorcism or something that the sort of picked 75 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: up the carnival on Saturday exactly, but I did enough 76 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: happened on that particular exorcism that didn't make me realize that, uh, 77 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: that such she doesn't exist. That is a serious matter. 78 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: Any idea, Edward, how she picked up the demon and 79 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: how long she was possessed. To my knowledge, this has 80 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: been going on for about nine months a year when 81 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: I was very able to pick up on the side, 82 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: she had had a tough time doing this particular period 83 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: of time, and I had been actually seeing her as 84 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: a as a patient, uh, but didn't really uh. I 85 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: refused to go along with the idea of an exorcism 86 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: until I've done all the testing and in all the 87 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: screening and talking to family members and so forth. But 88 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: I was convinced that that apparently she was at at 89 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: least obsess if not possessed, And as it turned out, 90 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: since uh I saw the increase in temperature and the 91 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: fact that she does seem to have greatly improved sinceially 92 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: and has pretty much be a believer. Yeah, for sure. 93 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: And one last question Edward, any idea what led her 94 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: to the possession? I mean, somewhere along the line this 95 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: demon entered her. Do you know of what might have happened? Yeah? 96 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: I think it was a domestic violence situation, repeated domestic 97 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: violence between her. Yeah. Yeah, that kind of tension and 98 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: evil would do it for sure.
