One of the bishops' cases was about a man who would go under possession. He wouldn't be obnoxious to anyone. He would just get on his hands and knees and start digging. But when he was under possession and he would talk in like strange tongue, that he did. But he would start digging and his hands would go through asphalt, cement and gravel as easy as ours would go through beach sand when he was under possession. But if he ever did that when he wasn't under, his fingers would have been split open immediately.
That was one of my like, wow, this is as real as anything I ever saw. I keep getting reminders. This is never, ever, ever to enter your mind that some of this is not true.
That doesn't mean every case or every story you hear from other people who tend to glorify this stuff. I neither glorify it or seduced by it. It's simply a role that I was given in life.

Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, following the truth wherever it leads, exposing evil and corruption and the secret machinations of powerful elites, revealing the highest strangeness beneath the surface of our supposed reality. Coming to you from the great white north and his studio beneath the stairs.
Here's Richard.

**Richard Syrett** (3:35)
Hey there, welcome to Strange Planet.
For nearly 40 years, Richard P. Jackson has walked through doors most people would never dare open.
He says he stood inside homes where terrified families believed something unseen had taken hold. He's investigated alleged hauntings, confronted claims of demonic oppression, participated in exorcisms and spent decades exploring a world that exists at the uneasy intersection of faith, fear and the unknown.
His journey began not in a church or a laboratory but in a haunted New England farmhouse where he says his own family became the target of something dark and inexplicable. Desperate for answers, he turned to the legendary paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren. What began as a plea for help became a lifelong calling. Jackson would go on to train with the Warrens, study mediumship at Lily Dale and work alongside renowned exorcist bishop Robert McKenna, immersing himself in one of the most controversial and mysterious vocations imaginable.
Over the years, Jackson says he's cleared hundreds of allegedly haunted locations, participated in scores of exorcisms and witnessed phenomena that convinced him evil is not merely a theological concept, but an intelligent force capable of deception, manipulation and destruction. He also claims that confronting darkness comes at a price. He speaks of unexplained attacks, retaliation against those closest to him, and a recent incident in which he says an unseen force hurled him seven feet from a porch, moments after clearing a home of what he believed was a malevolent presence.
