I was physically mauled … by a demon or by something unseen that left claw marks on my side … they’re still there. A year and a half ago … I was totally confused, I couldn’t breathe, I thought I was going to suffocate and I walked around outside … I had these terrible pains on my ribcage and on my shoulder … I had four claw marks on my side, underneath my arms and on my left shoulder.

Tucker says the encounter drove him to the source of all truth.
