S3 | Case #24 | "Through the Years"

What begins as a five-year-old boy's vivid nightmare spirals into years of relentless spiritual torment. In Part 1 of this rare three-part case on The Exorcist Files, Ryan Bethea and exorcist Father Carlos Martins bring you the story of Theodore, a young boy besieged by terrifying nocturnal visits, and his parents, Lisa and John, who exhaust every natural explanation before turning to the Church.Guided by diocesan exorcist Father Ludo, the family enters the battle against demonic obsession—only to discover during a deliverance Mass that Theodore may not be the only target under attack.Listener discretion is advised.Thanks to our SponsorsOneSkin – Get 15% off OneSkin with the code EXFILES at oneskin.co/exfiles #oneskinpodCasper – Right now, save up to 20% on mattresses and up to 25% on everything else when you go to http://casper.com.Cowboy Colostrum – Get 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code EXFILES at https://www.cowboycolostrum.com/EXFILES.Runewood Rosaries – https://runewoodrosary.com and get 10% off with code EXFILESWant the show ad-free?
