Carlson described waking up with severe pain, finding it difficult to breathe, and noticing claw marks on his body that were still bleeding. He remembered going to the bathroom and seeing four claw marks on each side, beneath his arms, and on his left shoulder.
It was admitted by Carlson that he had never heard of anything like that happening before, but he recognized it as a spiritual occurrence immediately. Following the encounter, Carlson shared that he was struck by an overwhelming urge to read the Bible. It was stated that he spent a year and a half reading it and then began re-reading it, describing the experience as transformative for him.
Carlson made it clear that he was not worried about whether others believed his account, stating that it didn’t matter to him if people didn’t believe him, but emphasizing that the experience had truly occurred. Author Rod Dreher, known for The Benedict Option, corroborated Carlson’s story on X writing, that Tucker Carlson has gone public with the news that he was physically attacked by a demon.
Carlson’s podcast, which he launched on X in June 2023, has rapidly ascended to become one of the most influential shows of the year. Shortly after its debut, the podcast reached the No. 1 spot on Spotify, further solidifying his success in the media landscape.
