Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

For most kids, “acting out” means fighting bedtime. For David Pierce Rodriguez, it meant spending part of his childhood literally possessed inside a mansion dripping with spirits and family trauma. Decades later, David doesn’t just swap ghost stories—he hunts the entities that once hijacked his body. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we follow David’s journey from involuntary host to seasoned investigator, piecing together how a brush with the demonic shaped his life’s mission. What does it take to confront forces dark enough to derail your childhood—and then dedicate your adult life to protecting others from the same? This is Part Two of our conversation.

0:00.0	Welcome to part two of our conversation with David Pierce Rodriguez about growing out of possession.
0:07.8	Would you say, was there any sort of intervention that occurred in your case that helped relieve you of the possession, as one would think of, you know, exorcisms and things of that nature?
0:19.7	Was it really simply just the move that lifted this away from you?
0:24.7	It was the move. It was a change of school. It was, you know, I was going to a new high school.
0:30.0	I had been going to a male-only high school before, and then I get to go to a one with women and men.
0:36.6	I'm finally 16 you know I moved
0:39.0	with my dad it was a great time my whole just my whole mind shifted and I don't think that
0:45.3	I mean that's probably the most important thing in a possession case is changing the the mindset
0:50.7	of the person of the host you know the one who has the possession because like a fish
0:57.4	who lives in saltwater can't live in the can't live in the freshwater it's the same thing you change

1:22.2	or something, but you can bring kind of like some, you know, mojo from a case. I've had it multiple times. And I think
1:31.2	the thing from going through a possession like that, that stuff sticks with you for a while.
1:35.2	But yeah, it just, it couldn't live with me once I moved. I just was a different person
1:40.6	altogether. But if I would have lived in Columbus and not left, I would have
1:46.4	had to have some kind of intervention. I was going to church at the time. I probably would have done
1:49.9	something. Asked them about it. I mean, it was Methodist, so I don't know if they would have helped,
1:53.7	but it just, you know, I did ask a lot of questions at church back then, but wasn't really
