Art Bell interviews Deborah Moffitt about the terrifying six-year demonic haunting that plagued her family, beginning in 1984 when a Guatemalan housekeeper practicing Santeria inadvertently opened a doorway to something malevolent. The entity followed the family across multiple homes, destroying property, teleporting objects, and targeting her mother-in-law Lee, whom it claimed was promised as a blood sacrifice by monks in a past life centuries ago.
Moffitt describes escalating phenomena including furniture stacking itself within minutes, kitchen cabinets ripping from walls, windows exploding, and knives appearing embedded in chairs and pillows. The entity communicated by writing on bathroom mirrors with soap, identifying itself as Prince and detailing its ancient claim on Lee. Despite seeking help from priests, psychologists, the Warren investigators, shamans, and researcher Dr. Evelyn Paglini, no one could remove it. Paglini called it the most powerful ancient deity she had ever encountered.
The account includes a provocation ritual by Ed Warren during which Deborah's father-in-law became briefly possessed, speaking in an unrecognizable voice. Art shares the bizarre coincidence of a mouse appearing in his studio during the interview, sitting inches away and staring at him, echoing Moffitt's own description of rats exhibiting identical behavior in her haunted home.
