The Demonic Vision That Ended His Satanism 😳

Shawn Ryan Show

A man recounts his high school involvement with Satanism and witchcraft in the 1980s, describing how he was acting out a demonic possession scene while drinking with friends when he experienced a supernatural vision of a demonic figure that prompted him to abandon his occult interests and seek refuge in church.

Summary

The speaker describes being introduced to Satanism and witchcraft by a friend during high school in the 1980s. His involvement included studying occult figures like Aleister Crowley and signing pacts with the devil. He became deeply immersed in horror culture, watching every horror film available and adopting mannerisms from characters like Freddy Krueger. During a drinking session at a friend's house (with no drugs involved, only beer), he decided to act out a demon possession scene he had seen in a movie. The scene involved mimicking dual voices—one fighting the demon and one as the demon itself—and culminated with him laughing as the demon character to show the demon had won and possessed him. While performing this scene and facing the back of a couch, as he rolled over mid-laughter, he claims to have seen a watery, supernatural image of a demon or the devil looking at him with a smile and beckoning him with the words "Come here." This experience terrified him so profoundly that he did not sleep that night and walked to church, marking a turning point away from his involvement with Satanism.
