The Demon Files is a paranormal show that premiered on Destination America in 2015. The show is hosted by Sean Austin, an actor known for his roles in The Lord of the Rings and The Goonies, and Ralph Sarchie, a retired police officer and demonologist who inspired the movie Deliver Us from Evil. The show's premise revolves around Sarchie and his team investigating cases of demonic possession and helping people free themselves from these entities. Sarchie's team also includes Debra Aguayo, a psychic medium who can communicate with spirits and demons. Each episode features a new case of demonic possession, with Sarchie and his team meeting with the possessed person and interviewing their family and friends. They try to gather as much information as possible to understand the nature of the entity that is possessing the person. Once they have gathered enough information, they perform a ritual to try and exorcise the demon. The rituals involve using a combination of Catholic prayers and traditional shamanic practices to try and force the demon to leave the person's body. Throughout the show, Sarchie discusses his experiences in demonology and his beliefs about the nature of demons. He believes that demons are entities that exist outside of time and space and can manipulate reality to their will. He also believes that they are drawn to negative energy and that people can inadvertently invite them into their lives through negative thoughts or actions. The show's emphasis on Catholic prayers and rituals has drawn criticism from some quarters, with some viewers accusing the show of promoting a religious agenda. However, Sarchie insists that the rituals are necessary to protect the person and that they have been effective in freeing people from demonic possession. The Demon Files is a unique take on the paranormal genre, with an emphasis on real-world investigations and rituals rather than fictionalized ghost stories. The show's hosts bring a compelling mix of expertise and celebrity to the proceedings, with Sarchie's experiences as a police officer and demonologist adding a compelling air of authenticity to the proceedings. Overall, The Demon Files is an engrossing and often unsettling look at the world of demonic possession and the efforts of a dedicated group of individuals to help people free themselves from these entities. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, the show offers a fascinating look at a world that is often shrouded in mystery and fear.
