My terrifying story of being attacked by demons, just like Tucker Carlson

Riley Kehoe was in Los Angeles doing a master’s program when she claimed two “demons” entered her room at night and attacked.

Like Tucker Carlson, who woke up with claw marks after a demon attack, as he explained on a podcast this month, Sewell came face to face with evil entities that wanted to harm her, she explains — but she fended them off and the creatures disappeared into the air. night.

She was only 22 and had moved from New Zealand to go to school. Midway through the semester, she woke up in the middle of the night and was immediately aware of two presences in her room.

Two dark figures stood above her bed. One introduced himself as The Thief and the other The Joker – one was out to deceive her and the other to steal from her.

The creatures were the size of people, but dark and ‘cloud-like’ and Sewell was too scared to look at them directly.

“I could feel them, and I could also see them in the corner of my eye,” she said, adding that there was a huge sense of evil and that they wanted to harm people.

“I just knew that my mother had always said, if you ever have an experience like this, rebuke it in the name of Jesus.”

She said she grew up in a home where her parents spoke openly about spiritual matters, including “spiritual warfare” and people being delivered from demons.

She had traveled with her parents to Africa, where she said people talked about encounters with demons as freely as we talk about the weather in Western countries.

Scientists have suggested that people making these claims were suffering from sleep paralysis, which causes them to feel temporarily paralyzed while they sleep.

This phenomenon occurs when a person switches between sleep and wakefulness, and can be caused by sleep deprivation or stress.

Sleep paralysis can be accompanied by extremely vivid physical sensations – a distinctive smell or being touched, for example – and there are cases where people report having a ‘night visitor’.

Traumatic experiences can also cause dissociative episodes, in which people feel disconnected from their bodies or reality.

But Kehoe has never renounced her story and shares the terrifying experience to this day.

She explained her encounter, revealing how she sat frozen at the foot of her bed.

She began to pray and rebuke the demons – saying she was terrified and alone.

The creatures loomed over her and she knelt in prayer – she said she knew they were coming to attack her and play with her mind.

She said: ’30 minutes went by and suddenly I thought, ‘These demons are so stupid. They don’t know who I am, and I have so much authority as a daughter of God, as a Christian. They’re just so stupid to even try to attack me.”

She started laughing and the two attendees just left.

“I felt peace come over me, and it made me realize how powerful we are in Jesus.

‘Afterwards I was honestly a little scared to walk back home. So I played worship music as I looked back.

“But what gave me so much relief was the thought: Satan, you’re so stupid you can’t mess with me.”

Sewell’s demon experience was not the only extreme experience in her life; together with her family, she barely survived the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004, when she was just nine years old.

The family had to run for their lives to escape the waves, but afterward her parents stayed to help people on the island in Thailand, and also enrolled her in lifeguard classes to help with her fear of the sea.

She said the events of that day are etched in her memory: “I just saw the most bizarre sight.

All the water had receded, leaving the fish fluttering around on the sand. People who had been on boats were stranded and snorkelers were walking around in their gear, not knowing what to do.

Riley has written a book about her tsunami experience

‘Then I heard my mother’s voice. She screamed at the top of her lungs. She had seen the water recede and knew immediately what to do. She had no idea what to do, but in that moment of chaos she prayed and heard one word: “Flee.”

‘As we ran to the other side of the island, the wave looked like a fifty-metre high tsunami coming towards us at high speed.

‘It felt like it was coming from all sides and was about to destroy the entire island. At that moment I saw a man climb out of his boat and run towards us, trying to reach higher ground.

“He realized he wasn’t going to make it, so he turned around and ran back to his boat. He and his boat were destroyed.

The family ran up a path on one of the hills on the island and watched as the massive wave crushed everything in its path, destroying buildings and killing everyone it touched.

She said, “I focused on my dad’s voice yelling, ‘Riley, run!’ There was a moment when the wave was as close as a car length away. I think if we hadn’t fled, we might not have survived. Thousands of people lost their lives that day, and we were so close to death.

‘We finally reached the top of the mountain, which luckily was high enough that the wave couldn’t reach us. We stayed there for six hours.”

She has now written a book about her experiences and hopes to inspire others to overcome their fears – after her lifeguard lessons gave her the strength to overcome her fear of the sea.

She said, “It starts with that story, but it actually goes on to share the journey of me finding out, what does it look like to have experienced something so traumatic at such a young age, and to witness people who die and be terrified of the consequences? ocean, and then, six months later, after surviving the tsunami, my parents went through intermediate lifeguard training. It has taught me that the more you face your fears, the less power fear has over you.’
