The Exorcist Files most contested case file, was from Season 2, and it's not even close.

"Awakened" drew more objection mail than anything The Exorcist Files has aired. In this debrief Ryan Bethea and Father Martins revisit the controversial case involving a very touchy subject- Yoga.

Objections are fair. If Yoga is spiritually dangerous, why are millions of practitioners walking around fine? Isn't it just great exercise? What is the difference between a physical therapy stretch and the identical yoga pose?

For Father Martins, he says you don't have to believe him he's just telling you what he saw in that room.
