Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Anecdotes & Banter Before the Main Interview (01:16–26:13)

• The hosts share personal stories, including a near-accident at a train crossing and a misadventure with a manhole full of feces (04:31).
• Patricia’s lost–and found–diamond tennis bracelet story: illustrates theme of weird things falling into literal and metaphorical “cracks” (07:12–08:59).
• Casual conversations on dating, relationships, and the awkwardness of digital connection, leading to reflections on authenticity and self-presentation (17:16–25:04).

2. Introducing Archbishop Ronald File Enright and the World of Exorcism (38:07–46:27)

• Ronald’s Calling Origin:
  • At 11 years old, after a supernatural vision in Brooklyn, he saw himself in the clergy (“There was a blast, like a light... and I saw myself in a clergy shirt in a Roman collar... I was only 11 years old.” – Ronald, 39:41)
  • Early supernatural encounters intensified his interest in the paranormal.
• Live in the Light, Avoid the Dark:
  • Emphasizes staying in “light” spaces, both physically (light rooms) and metaphorically, as darker spaces can foster evil (42:05–42:29).
• Notable Quote:
  • “When you have white all over the place, that’s really good positive energy. When you walk into a dark room... that’s exactly where evil comes from.” – Ronald, 42:07

3. Training and The Ritual of Exorcism (47:13–59:53)

• Long Apprenticeship:
  • Four-year training as an assistant before performing own exorcisms. “My first exorcism... it was a very unforgettable event.” – Ronald, 47:55
• Reality Check: The Trauma of Possession:
  • First experience left Ronald so terrified he soiled himself. “There was an odor... the odor was coming from me... I’m crapping on myself because I’ve never seen this event before.” (50:48)
  • Describes the physical transformation of victims: skin color changes to “dark gray,” unblinking eyes, and personality shifts (51:30–52:36).
• Verification Process:
  • Organization receives online requests; each is vetted and investigated with initial psychological and medical screening first (53:42).
  • “We insist on a medical and a psychological report because we have to rule out things that might mimic possession.” (61:31)

4. Supernatural Phenomena & Possession: What’s Real? (59:53–65:37)

• Types and Signs:
  • Demonic possession is rare; infestation (haunted house/events) and oppression (temptation, depression) more common.
  • Multiple demons can possess one person; “If a person opens the door... they could take over not only the body, but they will suppress their... characteristics and start doing really crazy things.” (58:18)
  • Manifestations: levitation (“body... up to the ceiling and stays there for about eight hours”), things floating, animals behaving oddly (61:31–63:49).
• Role of the Mind and Intent:
  • It's not about the Ouija board, but the intention behind it: “The power is within your mind called the intent. When you intend with your full attention... it’s going to come true.” (81:20–82:26)
• Notable Quote:
  • “Even after a near death experience, people come back with abilities... to listen, to see things others can't.” – Ronald, 63:51

5. Demons Know You, Their Tactics, and the Dangers (66:28–88:59)

• No Bravado Against Demons:
  • “Everything you just said doesn’t apply... You don’t go in with a lucky charm or energy drink... a demon is more powerful than we could ever be.” (66:28–66:46)
• Story of the Video Fuzz:
  • A digital encounter: while reviewing days-old footage, a shadow moved across Ronald’s screen and physically shoved him from his chair across the room. A chilling phone call followed, with the demon revealing knowledge of confidential information (69:35–73:23).
• Exorcism Risks:
  • Exorcists can be physically harmed; Ronald spent 30 days in hospital after being struck during a ritual, resulting in two liters of blood gathering around his heart. “I almost lost my life in 2013... struck three times right here on my left side.” (88:48–88:59)
• Pain Lingers:
  • Even years later, he still suffers daily pain from that encounter (88:59–89:57).

Notable Quote:

“The demon has been around from the beginning of time... and so they could look at a person, they know their entire story because they see time from the beginning to the end.” – Ronald, 66:57

6. How Does Possession Happen? (59:56–61:31)

• Most direct route: inviting in—spirit boards, occult practices, seeking out the supernatural.
• But demonic oppression is “very common... in your lifetime, you’ve probably had some form... you might even have a demonic oppression right now.” (78:07)
• Influence can be triggered by lifestyle, substance abuse, and “opening doors”.

7. Movie Depictions vs. Reality (93:00–95:04)

• Hollywood exaggerates for entertainment.
  • “The reality has nothing to do with entertainment. In fact, it has more to do with nightmares...” (93:04)
  • Most real exorcisms are not recorded due to privacy and the trauma involved; many new investigators quit after witnessing a true case (94:11).
• Real-life cases end in either recovery (“delivered”), institutionalization, or suicide.

8. Angels, Humor, and Light Amidst the Darkness (55:37, 99:16–102:24)

• Ronald briefly shares about angel encounters and emphasizes ending the discussion on a positive note (55:37).
• Fun segment: “Heaven or Hell?” rapid-fire round responding to various pop culture and random topics (“Times Square? That’s purgatory.” – 100:29).
• “Starbucks? Too expensive.” – Ronald, 101:31
• Ronald’s approach: blending humor to “desensitize the ugliness in the world” (103:38).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On being open to the supernatural:
  “You’re not letting them in because you’re not aware... The more you know, the more things... that could actually interact with your space.” – Ronald, 43:47
• Physical Aftermath:
  “I almost lost my life in 2013... I still have the pain even today. Every day I suffer physical pain here on my side.” – Ronald, 88:51–88:59
• On movie exorcisms:
  “The real thing cannot be publicly exposed... it’s better off you walk around, live your life with blinders on.” – Ronald, 93:04
