“I never knew there was so much more to the incantations I was delivering. I thought I was just delivering my lines, not knowing there are repercussions to follow. Whenever I get home after the act, while I sleep I would see some strange beings and some would turn to goats and start biting me.” He said.

He also advised aspiring actors who are interested in taking on such movie roles to exercise extreme caution and to seek God’s guidance because the consequences could be catastrophic.

“I’m saying this to warn them so that they don’t end up regretting their lives or ending up miserably”, he said.
