From a Catholic lawyer Eudamonia esq on Twitter:
Can’t believe I’m tweeting this, but I figured I should share it. Last night between 3:40 am and 4:00 am I had the first demonic experience of my life. As a former atheist and someone who is still dispassionate about this side of the faith, I know how that may sound. But this is something that must be shared. I awoke from a dream at about 3:40 am last night and was turning in bed. I was awake—I know this because I checked my phone and opened this app. After about 2 minutes of laying in bed, I felt mounting pressure in my temple and on the crown of my head, as if my head was being grabbed. It wasn’t painful, but it was strong like a grip. Seconds later, I “heard” a voice—I didn’t “hear” it like one hears things with their ears. Rather, I heard it like one hears their own thoughts: in their head.
The voice was deep and graveled—almost with vocal fry, too. It was not speaking English, but I understood what it was saying. The voice was telling me to renounce Jesus Christ.
Yeah, yeah I know. I know! It sounds absolutely bonkers and I am gonna be dragged. Anyways this voice was telling me to renounce Christ as I was frozen in bed with this pressure on my skull. I uttered the words “I love Jesus Christ, my lord and savior” but it was very tough to say. It took about 3 seconds to say each word—as if I was being constrained.
The MOMENT I said the last word, however, the pressure stopped and I was in my bed as if all was normal. I was shaken. I’m shaken still. I am not the kind of person to believe this stuff happens—when I hear it happens to other people, I don’t believe them.
I’m a skeptical guy who converged to Catholicism due to academic study. I’ve always struggled with the spiritual, or metaphysical, aspect of faith. I’m an educated, intelligent, sober guy. And I’m telling everyone this happened. I need to tell everyone this happened.
