A man who was cleared last month of assaulting his ex-partner has told the Irish Mail on Sunday how he suffered three years of 'hell' as a result of her being possessed by 'demonic forces' which he tried to rid her of through exorcism.

Shane Gibbons told how his girlfriend would go into a 'trance-like state' before 'spouting Latin'.

Lights would turn on and off, items would fly off walls, and she would experience 'horrible bruising and horrific looking scratch marks'.

'I would witness poltergeist activity and this whole plethora of stuff,' he said. 'The bruising she was getting was horrible. When I wasn't there it would escalate.

'Some of the marks she got were horrific-looking marks, scratch marks and all of that.'

Mr Gibbons, who is aged in his 40s and from Ogonnelloe, near Scariff in east Clare, denied a charge of assault causing harm to the woman at his home on August 17, 2019, and decided to speak out after a judge dismissed the charge against him saying his ‘version of events concerning the occult, exorcisms and devilish possession should have been explored more by the State’.

Parish priest Father Donagh O’Meara, whom Mr Gibbons called for help at one point, told the MoS that although he is ‘reluctant’ to say the woman was possessed Mr Gibbons is ‘not telling you a lie’.

‘He’s certainly telling you the truth and I’ll verify all of that,’ the priest said. ‘I met them and I’ll verify everything. He’s not telling you [a lie].’
