Tucker Carlson “Mauled By A Demon”

“[I was] physically mauled…by a demon,” said conservative commentator, Tucker Carlson. “Or by something unseen that left claw marks on my sides.”

“Do you think the presence of evil is kick-starting people to wonder about the good?” asked filmmaker Scooter Downey who interviewed Carlson for his upcoming film, “Christianities.”

“That’s what happened to me,” Carlson says. “I had a direct experience with it.”

The attack took place when Carlson was asleep in his bed with his wife and four dogs.

Despite the attack taking place a year-and-a-half ago, the marks remain.

“I woke up and I couldn’t breathe, and I thought I was going to suffocate,” he stated, confused at what was happening to him at the time of the mauling.

At this point, Carlson went for a walk outside and came back in to his wife and still fast asleep.

Feeling pain in his rib cage and shoulder, he walked into the bathroom to find “four claw marks on either side, underneath my arms and on my left shoulder. And they’re bleeding.”

“I’m not from a world where anything like that happens. I’ve never heard of anything like that happening before,” he stated.

“I knew that it was spiritual immediately.”

Speaking to his background, Carlson said, “I’m not from a…faith tradition that talks about things like that or even acknowledges their existence, like there’s nothing like that. I’ve never heard anybody say anything like that in my whole life.”

Believing what he had experienced was just a dream, Carlson looked down at the sheets on his bed to find blood stains from the attack.

That same morning, Carlson contacted his assistant, an evangelical Christian, who assured him that this was demonic activity.

Upon learning this was spiritual warfare, Carlson says he was, “seized with this very intense desire to read the Bible, which I then started without any study aids or anything. I bought a Bible that didn’t have any; I’m not interested in editorializing in the Bible. I just want to read it and see what’s in there myself.”

“I spent a year-and-a-half reading it, and then I started re-reading it, and it was just a transformative experience for me,” he said.

Addressing his weariness with Christian pastors, Carlson, who doesn’t consider himself a theological expert, was most certainly awakened by this encounter with the spiritual world.

This experience with the supernatural prompted Carlson to learn more about God which reminds us that although we are in this world, we are not of this world (John 17).

It also reminds us of Ephesians 6:12 which says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

In these last days, we must continually renew our minds with God’s Word so that we may indeed accomplish all that we are called to do. (Romans 12:2)

This will require each of us to look beyond that which is seen with the naked eye in the natural realm and to lean on the Holy Spirit for His discernment and wisdom.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2
