A former TV presenter who has turned to exorcism says she sends demons to their version of paradise – be it Disney World, The Ritz or The Bahamas – instead of destroying them. Antonia Harman claims she found her unique talent in 2007 when she healed a friend’s burst eardrum by extracting a snake-like “demon”.

This pivotal moment prompted the 44-year-old her to switch careers from television presenting and modelling to become an energy healer. She now performs exorcisms, clears spirits, and assists others in discovering their “magical” powers.

Harman, from Cornwall, believes in a multi-dimensional existence where demons prey on human emotional energy. She even recounts encountering one that resembled a “metallic octopus” in IKEA, which she later pulled out of herself and decapitated at home.

As a self-proclaimed “divine travel agent”, Antonia guides these entities to their utopias rather than ending them. With October being her peak season due to its significance to the “the dark side’s major holiday”, she encourages people to stay positive to avoid attracting demons.

Antonia explained her philosophy: “I realised that if demons are the cause of people’s stresses and negative thoughts, they must be taking orders from someone else, higher up. I realised demons are actually slaves and don’t deserve to be killed.”, reports Cornwall Live.

“So I started sending them to live out their lives in harmony in different universes. I send them to another universe’s paradise – whether that be Disney World, The Ritz, or The Bahamas or Gotham City – just wherever paradise is for them.”

In 2000, Antonia carved out a unique niche as a television presenter on the satellite quiz show ‘Sweet And Sassy’ and simultaneously pursued a modelling career. But everything changed in 2007 when she embarked on a radically different path following a personal revelation of her “healing powers,” credited with curing a friend’s burst eardrum.

Reminiscing about that pivotal moment, Antonia recounted: “She felt like she was being stabbed in her ear and it was extremely painful. She fell to her knees and was screaming, ‘Help me, help me, fix my ear’.”

Antonia went on to describe the dramatic healing episode: “So I put my hands to her ears and started channelling energy, and, to my surprise, a demon that resembled a snake started to come out of her ear. I pulled this thing out of her, like feeding a rope, and it was about a foot-and-a-half long.”

Following the incident, which apparently secured her friend’s lasting relief from ear troubles, Antonia decided to resign from her role on TV to fully embrace her calling as an energy healer and instructor, dealing with exorcisms and clearing unwelcome entities from both premises and individuals.

Reflecting on the impact of the experience, she stated: “I mean, the whole thing was so extreme, it changed the structure of my life because I had a lot of faith in normal Western medicine. I realised it was more important to develop my skill and help people.”

This startling revelation led her to the belief that we inhabit a “multi-dimensional world”, where unseen layers exist beyond our perception. She stated: “I think they’re always around us – angels, demons, all that sort of stuff. And I certainly think that when people are getting very stressed out or anxious, it’s the demons trying to feed on their emotional energy because that’s their food source.”

“We’re not the top of the food chain – they are.”

Antonia recognises that her assertions may be difficult to accept, particularly for those who have not experienced such phenomena themselves.

“I think the proof is in the pudding. I mean, from working with so many people whose lives I’ve improved by removing literal demons, it’s amazing,” she expressed. In 2011, Antonia established Divine Empowerment, a venture offering energy healing and classes to assist others in unlocking their “healing and magical” abilities.

She is convinced that everyone possesses these talents, but many find them challenging to access. Therefore, in her classes, she claims to “remove any blockages” from individuals’ thought processes that are “preventing them from being the gods they truly are”.

In her everyday life, she says she encounters demons almost daily – and a few years ago, she alleges she came across a demon in IKEA while shopping with her mother.

She recalled: “I saw this thing that looked like a squiddy from The Matrix – it was like a metallic octopus. It sort of jumped diagonally three or four times, staggering in front of me, and then it jumped inside my chest and started compressing my lungs and heart. I was very uncomfortable and then I started to get very irritated, grumpy, tired and stressed out.”

Recognising an IKEA store as no place for a showdown, she opted to face the entity at home, claiming to have physically removed the being, called upon Excalibur – the legendary King Arthur’s sword – and decapitated it.

However, over time, doubts crept into Antonia’s mind about her approach to dealing with these so-called demons. She now views them as enslaved beings worthy of transport to another dimension rather than destruction.

Since 2021, she sees herself as a “divine travel agent”, guiding demons to their own forms of paradise.

“There’s no animosity or hatred or anger. Before, there would have been more of a war going on. But now, because I’m a divine travel agent, there’s nothing to worry about for me.”

With Halloween around the corner, Antonia posits that individuals become more susceptible to spiritual attachments due to fear, making them easy prey. During October, she could carry out as many as a thousand exorcisms every day.

She remarked: “There’s a lot of black magic going on around Halloween, so things amp up. It’s the dark side’s major holiday, so there’s certainly more darkness around than there might normally be.”

Despite this, Antonia is a firm believer in the power of positivity to ward off unwanted spirits, advising: “The best thing to do is let go of any anger or trauma and try to relax your mind so they can’t latch on to any negative thoughts.”

Antonia is set to feature in a Sky three-part television series titled ‘The Healing Revolution’ this December, about her unique abilities, which she expressed she “cannot wait to share with others”.
