Toronto Woman Speaks Out About Son's Death at Hands of Unlicensed Exorcist




Barbara Renolds's son, Josh, died during what was described as a botched exorcism. Josh, 13, began acting strangely in the Spring of 2017. He was taken to multiple doctors, but nothing could be found wrong with him. When other abnormalities began to occur around the house, Barbara, a devout Catholic, thought something sinister might be targeting her son. She was visted by two priests, neither of whom could exorcise the demon they believed to have possessed Josh. That was when Barbara grew desperate. She was contacted by a man who claimed his partner could do the un-doable.

"He was called Lucas by his partner, Isaac Partway, the one I spoke to the most. He never mentioned a last name, and now that I think about it, they could have been using fake names. I was really desperate at the time; I just wanted my son back. Mr. Partway asked for a fee of 1000 dollars, and, stupid me, I paid it. When they came over, this other man, Lucas, never spoke. He kept his face tucked into a scarf and didn't make eye contact. I got the feeling that there was something off about him, but I didn't pry. Mr. Partway asked that no cameras or phones be used to record the exorcism, which I thought was a bit odd, but I agreed. Now that I look back on it, the whole thing was just too fishy. I led them to my son's bedroom. We had to tied him to his mattress at this point, because he'd just become too violent. He wasn't my boy anymore. From the moment the silent man entered the room, I could hear Josh screaming. I couldn't just stay downstairs and listen to it, so I ran up to see what was going on. By the time I got there, that man, Lucas, was standing over my son. Josh was dead. That man, that monster, had killed him. I'll never forget that horrible face. They left quickly, before I could even call the police. I later received my 1000 dollars back, in an envelope left on my doorstep. But I'll never get my son back."


Interview with Father Walter of Our Lady of Sorrows Cathedral, Toronto, by Lisa Arnold of "Spooks and Proof" podcast


Lisa: Father Walter, you are an experienced exorcist for the Catholic church, correct?

Walter: That is correct.

Lisa: What kind of, uh, classes do you have to take for that?

Walter: Properly trained and certified exorcists must be trained and approved by the Vatican. It's like taking a course in college, honestly.

Lisa: Now you said "properly trained". Does that imply that there are improperly trained exorcists out there?

Walter: Absolutely. Anybody can claim to be an exorcist; that's why its important to ask to see accreditations.

Lisa: Do you know anybody out there like that? Off the top of your head?

Walter: Well...I'm sure you've seen these so called priests on TV. Peter Popoff and scam artists like him.

Lisa: Of course. Have you heard the reports of this "Mouthless Man" in your area? The one that killed that woman's son?

Walter: That is...something else entirely.

Lisa: What do you mean?

Walter: I don't feel comfortable continuing on that topic.

Lisa: Oh.

Walter: It's just....I don't know much about it. I don't want to speak out against someone I don't know the intentions of.

Lisa: I...see.

Walter: I think it's time for me to go. I have to get ready for an event this evening.

Lisa: Oh, okay. Well thank you so much for speaking with us here at Spooks and Proof. Ladies and Gentlemen, that was Father Walter of Our Lady of Sorrows Cathedral. In this next segment we will-

"I took this picture with my iPhone last month after I heard about this weird guy wandering around town. Just like my buddy said, he didn't have a mouth. Like, what the hell? I didn't stick around too long. The guy seemed agitated and I didn't want to get too close." -Mr. Johnathon Waller, Toronto, CA.
