“I’m not the Devil, I’m your grandfather, and I’m taking her to hell with me.” This line echoes through songs and lore surrounding a notorious exorcism record. It centers on a young woman in the 1980s at a church in the city of San Blas, Alicante, who became the focal point of a dramatic rite performed inside the San Blas church precincts.
The documentary program Fourth Millennium traces the events and reveals unpublished audio recordings from one of the rituals conducted at Cuatro, where events unfolded under the leadership of Ilker Jimenez. The recordings are said to involve Augustine Perez Segurato Rosarito, then pastor of the Alicante congregation, and a girl described as possessed by a powerful demonic force. The revelations give a rare glimpse into the practices and sounds that surrounded the exorcism at that time.

The program explored the esoteric field around exorcism in Alicante, noting that modern Catholic ritual continues to follow the steps outlined in the current revision of the Roman Rite when these moments arise. This account emphasizes the procedural side of the rites, the prayers, the commands spoken aloud, and the observed physical responses believed to accompany possession and deliverance.
The audio recording lasts more than thirty minutes and captures the voices of the person described as possessed, the priest, and family members. The phrases heard include expressions of distress such as burning sensations and pleas for relief, along with the reactions of the onlookers and the surrounding witnesses who described dramatic changes in the soundscape during the rite.
Listeners note the shifts in speech and tone, the use of languages not understood by all, and the testimony of observers who recount the experience as deeply unsettling. The co-host of the program, Carmen Porter, remarked that the individual involved faced challenges at school and that the episode left a lasting impression on those connected with the case and the community. The narrative speaks to the tension between belief, fear, and the social impact of such events.

Rosarito reportedly made a recovery that is discussed in the program archives, and there are indications that the individual who underwent the ceremony continues to participate in the noon service each Sunday within the same congregation. These details, gathered from the program’s servers, contribute to a portrait of a community grappling with a historic event and its ongoing legacy.
The recording remains available for listening, serving as a historical artifact and a prompt for reflection on how communities respond to claims of possession and spiritual intervention. It raises questions about the nature of belief, the handling of trauma, and the ethics of documenting intimate spiritual experiences for public consumption. [Citation: Cuatro program]
