In a newly released video interview, Tucker Carlson describes a violent encounter with a demon while he was sleeping in bed—an experience that prompted him to buy a Bible, which he says he has read and reread since.
“It was a transformative experience. I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed … and mauled. Physically mauled by a demon or by something unseen that left claw marks on my sides,” the renowned podcast host said.
Carlson noted further that now, a year and a half later, the marks on his sides are still visible.
“I woke up. I couldn’t breathe. I thought I was going to suffocate,” he explained. “I had these terrible pains on my rib cage and on my shoulder.”
As he was trying to figure out what had happened, Carlson said he went to a bathroom, turned on the lights and found “four claw marks on either side, underneath my arms and on my left shoulder. And they were bleeding.”
“I’m not from a world where things like that happen. I never heard of anything like that happening before,” he emphasized. However, “I knew it was spiritual immediately,” he added.
“I’m not from a faith tradition that talks about things like that or even acknowledges their existence,” Carlson said. “I’ve never heard anybody say anything like that in my whole life. The next morning, I woke up and thought, ‘That was the weirdest dream I’ve ever had.’ And then I saw blood on my sheets and realized that was not a dream at all.”
Afterward, Carlson said he was “seized with this very intense desire to read the Bible, which I then started without any study aids or anything.”
“So, 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.”
“No one has to believe me. I don’t care,” Carlson said. “But that happened to me.”
Rod Dreher, an Orthodox Christian and author of the “Benedict Option,” quickly confirmed Carlson’s story on the X platform.
“Tucker Carlson has gone public with the news that he was physically attacked by a demon,” Dreher noted. “This is true. He told me about it a year ago. Terrifying stuff.”
WATCH:
Earlier this year, Carlson reached another career milestone, more than a year after his former employer unceremoniously dropped him despite having the network’s top-rated program.
Carlson’s podcast has soared to the No. 1 spot on Spotify, surpassing “The Joe Rogan Experience” at the time, which had previously held the top spot on the platform for years. In 2020, Rogan signed a $200 million, three-and-a-half-year exclusivity deal with Spotify.
In an appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast in late February, Carlson said he discovered that U.S. intelligence agencies were monitoring his phone calls and electronic messages ahead of his trip to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding that he was told the administration would have him arrested if he gave Putin a “softball interview.”
The intel agencies, of course, work under the direction of the president — in this case, Joe Biden.
Here’s a portion of their conversation:
LEX FRIDMAN: So, the NSA was tracking you, do you think CIA was? Do you think people still tracking you?
So I talked to two people who would know, trust me. And that’s all I can say. And I, I hate to be like, “Oh, I talk to people who know.” But I mean, they would know, and both of them said exactly the same thing, which is, “Are you joking? Nothing is secure. Everything is monitored all the time.” If state actors are involved. I mean, you can keep the Malaysian mafia from reading your texts probably, you can not keep the big intel services from reading your texts. It’s not possible, any of them. Or listening to your calls.
So, and that was the firm conclusion of people who’ve been involved in it for a long time, decades, in both cases. So I just thought, you know what? I don’t care. I don’t care.
LEX FRIDMAN: You say it lightly, but it’s really troublesome that, as a journalist, you would be tracked.
TUCKER CARLSON: Well, they leaked it to Semafor and they leaked it to the New York Times.
