For the last several years, the Catholic Church has noted an alarming increase in the number of exorcisms performed. And for some of the most disturbing and vicious cases of possession, one priest is often summoned. With almost two decades in ministry, renowned priest Father Carlos Martins has encountered evil in nearly every way imaginable. From Ouija boards and curses to witches and demonic pacts, Father Martins has battled the ancient serpent in many forms. The Exorcist Files are his stories.

The Exorcist Files most contested case file, was from Season 2, and it's not even close. "Awakened" drew more objection mail than anything The Exorcist Files has aired. In this debrief Ryan Bethea and Father Martins revisit the controversial case involving a very touchy subject- Yoga. Objections are fair. If Yoga is spiritually dangerous, why are millions of practitioners walking around fine? Isn't it just great exercise? What is the difference between a physical therapy stretch and the identical yoga pose? For Father Martins, he says you don't have to believe him he's just telling you what he saw in that room.
