Hollywood's Favorite Non-Denominational Exorcist Tells All (EXCLUSIVE)

In an unique interview with 'Distractify,' secular exorcist Rachel Stavis — aka "Hollywood's best kept secret" — were given candid about her distinctive present and her demonic entity encounters.

Go on, image an exorcism. You're likely imagining a Catholic priest flicking holy water at a 12-year-old coated in pea soup whilst pointing out "the power of Christ compels you!”

Perhaps your mind conjured up an image of Russell Crowe (The Pope's Exorcist) on a Lambretta scooter. Either way, when it comes to demonology, Hollywood has steered us wrong for decades. In reality, the modern exorcism sphere is less about Jesus and more about relieving tormented souls of pain.

According to Rachel Stavis — aka Hollywood's favorite non-denominational exorcist and the creative mind behind the backstory for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider — people from all walks of life perform exorcisms.

"It's all over the map," she told Distractify. "Exorcisms and dealing with darkish entities — all of this has been happening since long prior to there was a Christ. This is ancient s--t."

After countless years of suppressing her unique powers and blocking out the "monsters" that seemed to follow her, Rachel decided to embrace her spiritual abilities as an adult.

"For over a decade, I labored in secret — within the broom closet, if you're going to — operating on everyone. Like heads of studios and rock icons and Oscar winners, but also grandmas and kids subsequent door," she shared with Distractify. Since Rachel doesn't out her clients, we'll only hear about the exorcism of Tilda Swinton if it comes from the Suspiria star's mouth (this is wishful thinking).

Everything changed when she unknowingly revealed her supernatural work to an NPR journalist.

With seemingly no choice but to go public with her gift, Rachel released her best-selling memoir, Sister of Darkness: The Chronicles of a Modern Exorcist, in 2018.

In an exclusive interview with Distractify, the horror novelist and only known female secular exorcist discussed her most extreme cleansing sessions and the connection between deep-seated trauma and entity attachment.

Rachel Stavis walks us through a typical client exorcism: "I'm generally a final resort."

"They come right here into my spirit room [and] we've a conversation first because other folks always have a reason why they come," the Celebrity Exorcism host began.

In Sister of Darkness, Rachel reveals that a majority of her clients have already gone through a laundry list of healing and self-care treatments. Having tried everything from therapy to medication, these exhausted individuals are desperate to rid themselves of an all-consuming dark sensation.

"[The shopper will] tell me what I name the 'branches,' while the spirits will say one thing, that's the 'root,'" Rachel continued. We're sure you twisted readers are waiting for spinning heads and spider-walk shenanigans, but said theatrics aren't typical.

"They'll [say] 'I'm stuck in my work. I can't conceive. I've dependancy problems.' It's numerous different things. It's now not all the time like 'I have entities.' ... And Spirit will say, 'Okay, they're here because they can't conceive, however actually what we wish to root out is the trauma that they had with their mom that's stopping their frame from doing so.'"

Mommy issues are certainly lethal.

"For [the client], it's really easy for the most part, except they have got been via a large number of trauma."

While the client has their eyes shut, Rachel gets to work. "There's a little little bit of pain, a little bit bit of force. I have to touch people a few instances to literally pull things from the frame. But it isn't a dance. It's now not a show," she explained.

Nevertheless, spooky stuff does occasionally unfold in Rachel's Los Angeles-based spirit room.

"The back door will open on its own or something will fall. That's just spirits kind of transferring during the space. But general, it's lovely sit back. Unless it is something very malevolent," she explained.

Don't worry, though, the most dangerous entities target "world-changers."

"They don't just pass into whoever on a farm except that individual on a farm goes to be a world-changer. Because one thing that clever and malevolent ain't going to spend its time doing that," she stated. "Every film gets that flawed."

Rachel Stavis's most extreme cleansing cases don't involve human possession.

Admittedly, we were psyched to hear Rachel review sinister encounters with glossolalia (aka speaking in tongues) and unexplainable levitation. Little did we know, the scariest stuff is devoid of human possession.

"Spaces, believe it or not, for essentially the most phase over my ultimate 12 years, have been the [instances] which might be the scariest," Rachel continued.

"When an entity holds a space, it is extra malevolent as a result of it is any such challenge to carry a big space. ... Like, I've had situations where sinks had been pulled from partitions. I've had scenarios the place half the roof comes down on a brand new or renovated space."

Rachel recounted a disturbing first-of-its-kind exorcism that put her in physical danger.

"The one in particular that was once my maximum difficult, is the one time that an entity has if truth be told been able to touch me and hurt me. And I still elevate a scar from that," she said.

Rachel signed an NDA when she was hired, so she was unable to tell us where this exorcism happened. All she could say was that it's "a space that a large number of other folks undergo, a high traffic space."

"I walked in, and I was like, 'This feels different.' ... There had been numerous deceased folks that have been in point of fact weird. And it just wasn't customary. When you are dealing with an entity that holds area, they usually dangle a bunch of deceased folks. It's a mass trauma area," she continued. "And they're usually so thankful so that you can be like, 'Okay, let me permit you to get out of right here. Let's unlock this.' These folks were like, 'We're not going anyplace.' It was like The Shining."

Contrary to popular belief, a dead person cannot attach to a living person.

"Deceased other folks can be very annoying and [they] do not close up. Once they know you'll hear them, they wish to communicate all the time. Not the similar as entity. Entity is insidious and doesn't need you to realize it's there," Rachel detailed. "The longer you don't know, the simpler they feed."

Regarding the anonymous space exorcism, things came to a head when the vengeful entity grabbed Rachel's hand.

"I used to be very alarmed. Listen, as far as the distance went, it's not within the space anymore. Like it's out. So technically, it used to be a luck."

Rachel Stavis talks trauma, protection, and being ripe for entity attachment.

When it comes to the church, there's a short "tick list" when determining if a person requires an exorcism. "It's generally like, are they mentally in poor health? Or do they have an entity or attachment?" Rachel said. According to her, they're not mutually exclusive.

"We have what I call a baseline frequency that we work with on a daily basis. ... Whenever we do one thing just right for ourselves, whatever this is, that baseline frequency is going up. The vibration is going up, we get well, we really feel higher," Rachel explained, making a point to advocate for therapy.

"Sometimes when we have now trauma and we don't understand how to deal with that — because we are really now not taught that in this tradition — that [baseline energy] takes successful. And entity and attachment, we are talking about low-frequency beings, in order that's unfortunately when we're our ripest, if you're going to, for attachment."

So, how can we protect our souls from these malicious entities (some of which look like Clive Barker drawings)? For Rachel, the answer is simple: "Being sort, being just right, doing excellent for other folks, [and] treating your self neatly."

Additionally, "no longer being an a--hole is a huge one."
