Father Carlos Martins, a Canadian Catholic priest known for performing exorcisms, has shared unsettling encounters with demonic entities that he believes validate the existence of the devil. On his podcast, The Exorcist Files, Martins recounted how he was tormented by a demon named 'Confusion' during his youth when he identified as an atheist. He noted that demons often reveal personal details about individuals to manipulate and tempt them effectively. Throughout his experiences, Martins observed supernatural events, including levitation, which he believes are tactics used by the devil to instill fear, particularly in inexperienced priests. He explained that the devil meticulously studies people to exploit their vulnerabilities, offering temptations tailored to their desires. His journey to faith in the mid-1990s led him to recognize the truth within Christian teachings about the cosmos, solidifying his belief in the reality of demonic forces. As he has gained experience in exorcisms, Martins claims to have developed a resilience to the fear that such supernatural occurrences can evoke.
