Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson claims he was physically attacked by an unknown entity while in bed.
Carlson shared his experiences in a conversation with John Heers of the nonprofit First Things Foundation for a new documentary project titled Christianities?
“In my bed at night…I was attacked while sleeping with my wife and four dogs and mauled, physically mauled,” Carlson vividly recalled, describing the unexpected and disturbing ordeal.
Carlson continued, “I was completely confused; I woke up and couldn’t breathe, and I thought I was going to suffocate.” The fear and disorientation he felt were palpable as he described his struggle to understand what was happening to him in those intense moments.
According to Carlson, the entity he believes attacked him was no ordinary intruder. Instead, he described his attacker as a “demon” who left “claw marks” on his body.
Afterwards, he said, “I was walking around outside, and then I walked in, and my wife and dogs hadn’t woken up.” The fact that his dogs, who were known to be light sleepers, were not disturbed by the incident only added to his confusion and sadness.
After the attack, he noticed significant pain in his rib cage and shoulder.
“I just had my boxers on,” he explained, “and I turned on the bathroom light, and I had four claw marks on either side under my arms and on my left shoulder.” The wounds he found were fresh and, as he noted, “they were bleeding.”
The incident, which Carlson said happened about a year and a half ago. He described it as a “transformative experience” and said it aroused in him an “intense desire to read the Bible.” It was, he hinted, a profound encounter that shaped his spiritual outlook.
