For the last several years, the Catholic Church has noted an alarming increase in the number of exorcisms performed. And for some of the most disturbing and vicious cases of possession, one priest is often summoned. With almost two decades in ministry, renowned priest Father Carlos Martins has encountered evil in nearly every way imaginable. From Ouija boards and curses to witches and demonic pacts, Father Martins has battled the ancient serpent in many forms. The Exorcist Files are his stories.

What begins as a five-year-old boy's vivid nightmare spirals into years of relentless spiritual torment. In Part 1 of this rare three-part case on The Exorcist Files, Ryan Bethea and exorcist Father Carlos Martins bring you the story of Theodore, a young boy besieged by terrifying nocturnal visits, and his parents, Lisa and John, who exhaust every natural explanation before turning to the Church.
Guided by diocesan exorcist Father Ludo, the family enters the battle against demonic obsession—only to discover during a deliverance Mass that Theodore may not be the only target under attack.

S3 |Case #22 | "The Exorcism of Anna Ecklund" Part 1
Saison 3 · Épisode 16
mercredi 14 octobre 2026 • Durée 51:08
In this dramatic episode of The Exorcist Files, Father Martins takes us back to 1920s Earling, Iowa, exploring one of the most thoroughly documented and bizarre cases of spiritual warfare in modern history: the exorcism of Emma Schmidt (pseudonym Anna Ecklund).
From her troubled youth marked by curses, witchcraft, and domestic turmoil, to sudden violent levitation and an aversion to holy water, Emma’s torment baffled those around her. When Father Theophilus Reisinger steps into the fray with the help of Father Joseph Steiger and local religious sisters, the first solemn rite in the convent unleashes forces far darker than expected.
