Former Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson claims he had a violent demonic experience about 18 months ago.
The 55-year-old fabulist told his story in a YouTube clip posted on Halloween advertising an upcoming Christian documentary. He calls what allegedly happened “a direct experience” with evil.
“[It happened] in my bed at night and 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,” Carlson said.
The five-minute video includes creepy music, reenactments of Carlson firing a gun and dogs running through the woods in slow motion.
Carlson told the film’s documentarian that his wife and dogs slept through the attack. He said he woke up out of breath, walked to his bathroom and saw bloody claw marks on his rib cage, under his arms and on his left shoulder.
“It didn’t make any sense and it doesn’t now,” he confessed.
According to Carlson, he thought maybe he had a bad dream until he saw the bloody sheets on his bed. The experience, he said, left him with a “very intense” need to read the Bible.
“That happened to me,” he insisted. “No one has to believe me. I don’t care.”
Carlson’s representative did not immediately respond to an inquiry about the context of the clip on YouTube.
