Ray Comfort's Encounter With Demon-Possessed Woman: 'In the Middle of a Horror Movie'

"The demons in her screamed like you wouldn't believe." That's how evangelist Ray Comfort described a shocking encounter he once had in Christchurch, New Zealand, with a young woman who he believes was fighting the demonic. "I'm right in the middle of a horror movie that I couldn't believe was happening," he said of the experience. Comfort told CBN Digital the entire ordeal surrounded a young woman named Jane who was experiencing blackouts and other spiritual issues. The evangelist said she came to his office for help one day — and chaos broke out. "Her friend ran out crying and screaming out that Jane was manifesting," Comfort said. "She'd gone into a blackout state, and she was crawling on her hands and knees ... I went in and began talking with Jane and praying — exercising prayer — and telling her that she needed to get right with God." The evangelist noticed "trinkets" Jane was wearing and described them as "demonic-looking." One looked like a little fairy, so comfort told her to ditch these items and to become a Christian. While the situation tempered that day, it was hardly the end of their encounters. "Two weeks later, I received a phone call from a friend [who] said, 'Jane is having blackouts again. Can we come and see you?" Comfort recalled. "And it turned out she hadn't become a Christian and she hadn't gotten rid of that trinket." While he waited in his office, Jane's friend screamed to him that Jane had once again blacked out on the stairs. Comfort went to investigate and found her leaning against the wall in a "blackout state." "I went to take hold of her and put my hand on her arm, and she ran ahead of me," he said. "And I'm not exaggerating here: she threw herself over a 15 or 20 foot drop." But Comfort said he ran after her and grabbed on as he screamed for her friends to help stop her from fully going over the ledge. Once she was safe, they carried her back to his office as she descended back into her blackout state — but that didn't last for long. "[She was] sitting down in my office, manifesting all these different weird demons," he said. "And, at one point, the dexterity was quite amazing. With one hand she reached into a blouse and pulled out a safety pin ... and tried to swallow it." Listen to comfort share the other horrific details — and how Jane found eventual freedom, among other stories. -- Welcome to "The Newsmakers Podcast," a show where we go behind the headlines each day to bring you interviews with pastors, entertainers, politicians, and other notable figures.
