Exorcist Rachel Stavis Talks To Us About Tubi’s Special “Celebrity Exorcism” & More

Ahead of the premiere of Tubi’s two-hour special Celebrity Exorcism, I sat down with independent exorcist and author Rachel Stavis who trained the Celebrity Exorcist‘s team ahead of their investigation.

Rachel Stavis is one of those believers, helping people plagued by the supernatural as an exorcist. Rachel sat down with us to discuss both Tubi’s Celebrity Exorcism special and her abilities which include the power to see entities, both supernatural and paranormal. Kelli McNeely: “Commonly when we think of exorcists we think of Catholic priests. Are you connected to the Catholic church?” Rachel Stavis: “No, I am not.” Kelli McNeely: “How did you go about becoming an exorcist, an independent exorcist?” Rachel Stavis: “When I was five I quickly realized that I saw things.
