Arely Proctor: Murdered During an Exorcism // 649 Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

In September of 2021, a California girl apparently began exhibiting strange behavior that required an exorcism from demonic possession - at least as far as her mother was concerned. That night, she was brought to the tiny chapel inside the house where she and her extended family lived in San Jose, which happened to be the church where her grandfather served as pastor. What happened behind those doors over the hours that followed ended with the discovery of the young girl dead on the church altar. This is the death of Arely Proctor.
