Tucker Carlson Says a Demon Attack Left Him Bleeding in Bed
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
The former Fox News host recounted the story in an interview for a documentary about Christian traditions.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson recounts a bizarre story about his experience being attacked by a demon in a clip released Thursday from a new documentary.
The former Fox News host said that a demon, or “something unseen,” left him scarred and bloodied after a paranormal experience a year-and-a-half ago—although it is unclear when the segment was filmed. The interview was conducted for a portion of a crowdfunded documentary called Christianities, which aims to explore the diversity of Christian traditions.
Carlson told the documentarians he first thought it was “the weirdest dream I’ve ever had,” but then saw blood on his sheets. “I had four claw marks on either side, underneath my arm and left shoulder. And they were bleeding,” he said.
Carlson said his wife and four dogs were in the bed when it happened, but none had woken up during the experience. “It didn’t make any sense and it doesn’t now. No one has to believe me, I don’t care. But that happened to me,” he said.
“I’m not from a, what do they call it, faith tradition that talks about things like that or even acknowledges their existence.”
The former Fox News host said he called his assistant, an Evangelical Christian, who said it was probably a demon attack. Carlson, who also believes in ghosts, said he was motivated to start reading the Bible after the attack.
It’s reportedly not the first time Carlson has alluded to experiences with supernatural forces. The Wall Street Journal reported he brought the topic up with Russian President Vladimir Putin, reportedly saying “demonic possession is real, I happen to know for a fact.”
Carlson, who in a text message to a colleague during the Jan. 6 insurrection four years ago called Donald Trump a “demonic force,” parted ways with Fox News last April. Some of his Christian fans argued that “the devil” was behind the network’s decision.
“Tucker is a casualty of [the spiritual] war,” Texas-based televangelist Lance Wallnau declared at the time. “I don’t like it when the devil wins.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to insult Cuban by saying he had “low testosterone.”
After Mark Cuban told The View “You never see [Donald Trump] around strong, intelligent women, ever” because they are “intimidating to him” on Thursday, several MAGA women hit back at the mogul, including Marjorie Taylor Greene who said, “The guy looks like Rachel Maddow.”
The Georgia Republican and conspiracy theorist complained about Cuban’s comments on the daytime show in between her on-camera workout routine on Thursday. “Here’s the thing about Mark Cuban, he suffers from low testosterone,” she said in a video posted to X/Twitter. “Here’s his issue: he’s actually intimidated by strong, intelligent women like me.”
Greene on Monday praised the comedian who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally for bringing its waste management issues to the “forefront.”
Greene, who quoted an X post by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, defended him against outrage over his racist remarks about the U.S. territory.
“The Democrats choose their outrage,” Greene wrote on X before suggesting that they turn their attention to other “vile things” such as Pride parades or trans athletes.
Cuban didn’t name anyone in particular when he made the comment, which was in response to View cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin’s question about why he thinks Trump hasn’t enlisted Nikki Haley’s help to try and win over some of her supporters.
Just when you think the Kamala camp can’t possibly alienate and divide people any more than they already have…now they attack women who support Trump. Nice job, Mark. https://t.co/EAIBRDjsFu

Lara Trump, Republican National Committee chair and wife of Eric Trump, was similarly offended. “Just when you think the Kamala camp can’t possibly alienate and divide people any more than they already have, now they attack women who support Trump,” she posted to X. “Nice job, Mark.”
Former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway also responded to Cuban’s comments when she called in to Fox News host John Roberts, saying that Cuban’s remark “shows how desperate and concerned [Harris supporters] are that they are not certain they are supporting a strong and intelligent woman for president.”
Conway added, “As I said in my RNC speech, I looked around the Roosevelt Room one day, John, something you’re familiar with. And I saw Brooke Rollins, Ivanka Trump, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Mercedes Schlapp, and me. Between the five of us, we have 19 children at the time, ages two through 16, where the highest rank in the White House are strong, intelligent women.”
“Show me a C-suite in America—hey, show me any of Mark Cuban’s entrepreneurial pursuits where some of the top positions are being held by working moms whose kids are ages two through 16. You’re not going to find that.”
Trump, Conway’s former boss, however, has relied on personal insults against his female opponent since she entered the race over the summer, regularly calling Harris “slow,” “low IQ,” and “lazy”—playing into racist tropes about Black people—and allowing his supporters to do so as Tucker Carlson and others did with glee at his New York rally on Sunday.
In August, Conway told Fox Business that “the winning formula” for Trump would be “fewer insults.”
