In this episode of the podcast, Shaun Bennett welcomes back Robbie Crossan, an experienced exorcist and ordained priest. They delve into the world of exorcism, discussing the training and process involved in performing exorcisms. Robbie shares his personal journey from being a seminarian in the Roman Catholic Church to becoming an exorcist in a different Catholic faction. He explains the difference between exorcisms and cleansings, emphasizing the importance of thorough investigation and ruling out other factors before determining if an exorcism is necessary. Robbie also touches on his expertise in building paranormal investigation equipment. Overall, this episode provides fascinating insights into the world of exorcism and offers valuable information for listeners interested in the topic.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Exorcisms require extensive training and preparation. Robbie Crossan, an ordained exorcist, explains that becoming an exorcist involves years of training and studying various cases. It is not a task to be taken lightly.Exorcisms involve thorough investigation and questioning. Before determining if an exorcism is necessary, the exorcist must ask numerous questions and observe the individual or property experiencing disturbances. This helps rule out other possible explanations, such as mental health issues or attention-seeking behavior.Exorcisms can take a significant amount of time. The length of an exorcism can vary greatly, ranging from hours to months. Each case is unique, and the exorcist must carefully assess the situation and develop a plan of action.Hollywood depictions of exorcisms are often exaggerated. Contrary to popular belief, exorcisms do not typically involve tying up individuals or dramatic displays of spinning heads and green pea soup. The reality is more focused on prayer, commanding entities in the name of Christ, and observing changes in behavior or voice.Cleansings are a milder form of exorcism. A cleansing is a less intense version of an exorcism and is often used to remove negative energies or entities from a property. It may involve the use of blessed oils, incense, or other methods to create a more positive and harmonious environment.BEST MOMENTS:"Exorcisms are, it takes a long time to actually train properly to become an exorcist.""I originally was a seminarian for the Roman Catholic Church... The more I learned about their theology, the more I realized it didn't suit my needs.""I use other methods, I'll use like blessed oils, I'll use different types of incense... I'll mix it with other things, other herbs, flowers, because a mixture of everything with the sage can work as well." "It's like driving a car that becomes automatic... You just know when it's about to happen." "I started working out how to build main tech... I just started off with the simple stuff like mini REM pods and some trigger objects, that kind of thing, EM pumps." HOST BIOShaun is a lover of technology and, after spending many years as a self-confessed serial volunteer, he has embarked on a personal journey of learning and discovery.
