A Catholic exorcist sprinkles holy water on an inmate's tattoo and the man starts screaming that it burns. Over a decade as an exorcist has shown Father John exactly how evil gets carried into a home — a doll, a statue, a souvenir — and goes to work on the people you love before you ever feel it in the room.
Catholic exorcist and longtime prison chaplain Father John breaks down generational curses, cursed objects sold in ordinary shops, the demon that admitted hatred alone can generate a curse, and the fairy statue that concealed a decapitated priest sealed in plastic. He explains how to tell mental illness from a spiritual attack, why heavy pornography use can leave a demon attached, and what the Church never taught its own priests. Raw field notes from a man who does this work every week — not theory.
