Welcome back to the Exorcist Files, a fascinating and chilling foray into the world of spiritual warfare told to the case files of Exorcist Father Carlos Martin's. We now will commence with the opening of our final case file for season one. Due to the complexity of this case, we will be releasing it as a rare three parter, and before going any further, we want to offer a disclaimer that this episode contains mature themes and is definitely not suitable for all audiences. We are delving in to a topic that to some is fascinating and to an unfortunate view, is all too real witchcraft. Also throughout this case file, listeners will hear incantations and spells which ideally sound real, but are in fact entirely fictitious and devoid of any spiritual meaning. So have no fear. One could say, we have enabled spell check for these episodes. You're welcome. Now let's begin. When it comes to witchcraft, the term usually conjures up images of broomsticks and pointy hats, And contrary to many people's belief that it died out in the Middle Ages, witchcraft is still very much alive today, and for a protagonist Trent, a kind hearted and humble trucker, one fateful encounter will show him just how real this ancient form of sorcery is.

As soon as Trent set foot on the Incarnate Word Bible College grounds, he began to experience peace, a peace unlike he had ever felt before his accident. And what preceded it were such awful experiences that they would forever remain ingrained in his memory. Now, eight days after accidentally arriving at the college, he didn't care if he ever.

Since his arrival, Trent had prayed the Rosary countless times. He had also spent many hours of silence before the blessed sacrament, and he went to Mass daily. For someone who had rarely practiced faith since his time in elementary school over twenty years ago, the spiritual change in him was dramatic.

Incarnate Word Bible College was a startup school. In only its sixth year of operation. The school rented the grounds of what was now a vacant monastery, and it kept afloat by cutting costs wherever it could. Trent was grateful for the school's hospitality. Most of all, however, Trent was the recipient of daily prayer ministry, increasingly freeing him of the nightmare that were the last six months of his life.

Trent had been driving a pickup truck on Stanwood Road in eastern Idaho when he hit a horse, and the damage was tremendous. His truck was totaled, the front end collapsed and pushed the entire engine into the cab of the truck, and a further it would have crushed Trent's legs. His legs were pinned so tightly between the deformed dashboard and his seat that he had no circulation in his feet. The passenger seat had been ejected and was in the ditch on the side of the road, and the front axle was bent into a V and the stallion was now a scattering of bits of flesh and bone strewn inside the cab and on the road behind it. The fact that Trent survived, let alone walked away with only a badly bruised chest and having a few cuts on his arm was astonishing. Someone looking at the wreckage, would have never believed that anyone had ever survived. The incident occurred just past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Now you might be wandering a horse and who is that voice in his head? As this case file involves a subject of witchcraft, we think it's important to set the table with a proper understanding of what it is from a historical and a Christian context. In our research, we quickly realized that while beliefs about witchcraft are universal, there is no universal definition of witchcraft because its method and understanding derived from a variety of sources, including ancient sorcery, paganism, scholastic theology, medieval heresy, inquisition trials, and folklore. One definition states it as the manipulation of supernatural forces through the casting of spells and the conjuring or evoking of spirits. Some define it as an innate condition one is born with, in which one harnesses occult powers by psychic means, with no need for rituals or charms. Witchcraft can take many forms. In most societies, witches are believed to use their supernatural powers for evil, a form often called black magic. However, there are also self proclaimed white witches who practice folk medicine, pagan rituals, divination, and conjure spells for healing, protection, fertility, good fortune, and other more charitable reasons. And these practices have been used for centuries. With numerous witchcraft references found on religious inscriptions dating back to the Sumerians, it seems for as long as humans have been around, witchcraft was there as well. Now from a Christian context, witchcraft is mentioned numerous times in scripture and is explicitly prohibited. Dating back to Old Testament times, the Bible has some harsh words to say about those who consult mediums, divination, and practice sorcery. The Book of Leviticus states that anyone who practices these arts is to be stoned to death. Then, of course, there's perhaps the most well known witch reference from Exodus, chapter twenty two, that shall not suffer a witch to live. In the New Testament, the Book of Acts describes a character known as Simon the Sorcerer. The account says of Simon, he had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great, and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed this man is rightly called the Great Power of God. Simon later offered the apostle Peter money in exchange for Jesus's powers. You can guess what Peter's response was. I found it particularly interesting how the surprising part of the story was not the supernatural feats, but rather the fact that he tried to put a price on obtaining power. Bottom line, you cannot buy power from Jesus. To this day, humans have a fascination with magic arts, and time has done nothing to diminish witchcraft's popularity. On one of the world's largest social media apps, TikTok, there is a trending hashtag called witch talk, with over thirty billion views today. The tag is uniting a community of practicing witches who discuss everything from spells to rituals and blog about their experiences. While it is small relative to other religions, according to one Pew survey, it is estimated that in the US alone there were at least just under a million people identifying as wiccan, New Age, or Pagan, and that number probably underestimates the involvement.

Stanwood Road is a little traveled road that Trent discovered ear years ago when he and a friend were elk hunting. The views of the mountains were as scenic as any, and what usually added to the pleasure of driving on that road was the lack of other vehicles. Trent waited trapped inside his truck, his legs immobilized, for someone to come along and help them. His cellphone had been thrown in the impact, and only God knew where it was now. After ten minutes or so of no one else passing by, having no choice, he began to work himself out. After wiggling and painfully pulling on his legs, he managed to free them, but only by slipping off his shoes. The driver's door had also crumpled on the impact, so he had to crawl out the window to get himself out. The sound of the crash still rang in his ears. Trent began to limp southward down the road, looking for any sign of civilization. After walking almost a mile, he saw the sign for the Bible College, and he turned up the laneway, hoping to get access to a telephone to call for help. It didn't take long for Trent.

This is a good time to take a quick commercial break, but don't go anywhere. We will be back with more of Trent's fascinating story in just a bit. Welcome back to the Exorcist Files, where our truck or Trent just claimed he was cursed after he miraculously survived a horrific crash fleeing some malevolent force. Now I now, to some curses can seem far fetched, but in the spiritual world, cursing and spellcasting have been an experience of humanity for almost all of documented civilization. Before we go too far down the rabbit hole, let's hear from Father Martin's onjust what a curse actually is.

Now I now, to some curses can seem far fetched, but in the spiritual world, cursing and spellcasting have been an experience of humanity for almost all of documented civilization. Before we go too far down the rabbit hole, let's hear from Father Martin's onjust what a curse actually is.

Most people believe a curse is simply the use of crude words in speech. Certainly, verbal crudeness is one of the definitions, but a curse in a spiritual sense is speech or an action calling for harm to befall someone or something. It's best understood in contrast to a blessing. A blessing empowers, strengthens, and gives life. A curse, however, drains, weakens, and kills. It is the wishing of evil to befall someone. There are different reasons why someone would curse. That might do so to get revenge on someone, to destroy a marriage or relationship that two people have to establish, an unholy relationship, to cause financial hardship, disturbance, unhappiness, or any other poor state of affairs upon someone. Curses exist simply because of the way that God has constructed reality. God created a moral universe, a universe where it is possible to choose good or evil. When Adam rebelled against God, he destroyed the primordial blessing of paradise under which he and the rest of the universe was living, and that transgression became the occasion for history's first curses. God cursed the serpent. Two verses later he curses Eve. One verse later he curses the Earth, and beginning in that same verse, he finally curses Atom. But God never curses simply for the sake of punishment alone. His curses are medicinal. They become means for a blessing. There is such a thing as evil cursing, cursing that desires to wound someone sinfully or to selfishly manipulate them. That kind of cursing is capable of inflicting terrible damage.

So, in short, from the Christian perspective, while spells, hexes, evil eyes, black magic, and other forms of malevolent supernatural practices can vary in their practice and intention, a curse is the general umbrella term for causing harm to others through demonic intervention, and, unfortunately for the altruistic witches, even so called white magic, with its benign or beneficial intentions is still considered a serious sin that puts one in relationship with the demonic. Now let's get back to Trent, who barely managed to survive as when he fortunately stumbled upon a Christian college.

Shortly afterwards, John Brooks, the school's headmaster, arrived and Trent recounted his collision with the stallion. John brought Trent inside to report the accident to the police, and the operator dispatched a unit immediately, but it would be over thirty minutes before it arrived in the rural area. In the meantime, John offered Trent the shower in his quarters to wash himself of the blood, for which Trent was grateful. John pulled clothes from his wardrobe that Trent could wear after washing up, and he produced a pair of shoes as well. By the time Trent changed the police had arrived. The two officers took his account of the accident and offered to drive him to a hospital to be examined, which Trent politely turned down. He felt so much peace in the short time he was at school that he did not want to leave. John offered to let him stay at the college as long as he needed, and Trent couldn't think of anything he wanted more. The goodness Trent saw around him left him speechless. These people did not know him, and yet they treated him like a brother. One student promised to offer a holy hour for him in the chapel, while several more promised to pray the Rosary for him. Another one lent him a laptop to email family and let him know where he was. He saw in these people something that he lacked, tranquility and peace. John arranged for Trent and him to eat in his private dining room. As they sat down, Trent told him the extended version of how he got there.

You may have just noticed our mystery sorceress invoking Asmidius, the notorious demon of lust. Well documented within the Judeo Christian narrative. This diabolical fiend is one of the devil's leading agents of provocation and It's not the first time he was mentioned this season. Witches are said to worship as Medeas, and magicians and sorcerers have reportedly conjured him to strike at enemies. Interestingly, it is noted that Grimwar's or spell books sternly admonish anyone seeking an audience with Asmidius to summon him bareheaded. Out of respect, and with that bit of trivia, I must reiterate that nobody affiliated with this show has ever opened or seen a grimoire. All the incantations are pure fabrications.

As a long haul truck driver, Trent crisscrossed the country, and like all truckers, he had his favorite stops along his route. Trent often had the same drive Houston to Memphis to Wichita to Seattle.

In case you're wondering, and as a shout out to all our truckers out there, Google Maps claims that route is a forty four hour drive, not including stops, but it would likely take even longer when carrying a large load in an eighteen wheeler.

While the food was good, what he found exceptional was the waitress, Evelyn. She engaged him in conversation throughout the evening. With each of Trent's subsequent visits, she made sure that it was she who waited on him, and the conversation continued from where left off the previous visit. Trent loved Evelyn's personality and found her both physically attractive and pleasingly feminine. By his fourth visit, Evelyn was overtly flirtatious. And halfway through his meal, came to him and said, so, when.
