An exorcist who claims to have performed thousands of dangerous rituals revealed he was forced into the profession after a 'hellish childhood' which saw demons ravage his family.
Reverend Bill Bean isn't your average minister – after finding God late in life he now works full-time to literally help people battle their demons, and he says he's seen it all.
"I've seen levitation, I've seen eyes turning from white to fully black or red, I've seen one time where the eyes turned a yellowish-green and had reptilian slits," Reverend Bill told the Daily Star.

The Reverend even said he's seen bodies contort in ways that shouldn't be physically possible.
"I was helping a young man and as these demons were departing, they have to come out through the mouth or top of the head – somehow they have got to come out.
"They came out through the top of his head but when this took place, his cheekbones when [upwards], and his chin went [outwards and down].
"So literally from his cheekbones down, it was like a V."
Reverend Bill became an exorcist in 2012, but before taking up the profession he was plagued by demons himself.
"My family was destroyed by demonic forces and I nearly was as well," he recounted. "I grew up in a hellish life as a child.
"I was physically attacked by demons starting at age five, probably up until age 12.

"My mother was even more severely attacked. And those attacks began in 1975.
"When my dad left us, my mother came under regular physical attacks from these demonic entities up until the time of her death in 1981. Neither of my parents lived to see 50."
He added: "I think the devil was trying to kill me back then."
Reverend Bill, from Maryland, US, said he quickly fell into the wrong crowd after dropping out of school in eighth grade (the equivalent of Year Nine) and said the people he hung out with are "either in prison or dead now."
But the Reverend added that he turned his life around and dedicated himself to his faith, and is no longer plagued by the demonic forces that attacked him in his early years – and said that if they were still after him "the devil would have killed [him] a long time ago."
He thanks God – and a very specific routine – for his now "blessed" life.
"I will say two prayers [every night], there will be spiritual warfare prayer, and then a daily declaration of victory.

"I declare victory each and every day of my life, and I will do so for the rest of my life. So I invoke the power of God over all over my life every day."
While he loves his new life, however, Reverend Bill says being an exorcist is no easy feat and he spent about six years travelling almost constantly to try to help people.
Speaking to the Daily Star just before he went to bed at 6am local time after a gruelling night on the job, he said he had seen things others wouldn't ever believe.
"People would send me messages asking if I could help them […] and I started answering these calls for help.
"The very first time that I went, it was a family in the Baltimore area. They had a severe demonic problem. And yet, when I arrived on the scene, I knew right away that this was my purpose in life."
He added: "I've travelled to every part of America, I've helped people in 54 countries.
"And that is all by the power of God."
Bill's new book, Tales from an Exorcist, is out now.
