The Yorkshire Exorcist

People are griping saying he can't do this without the Vatican's approval and that he's mutilated himself with tattoos and therefore can't be a real priest.

That stuff doesn't apply. He's Church of England clergy and they are a lot more lenient about stuff like that. Nobody would even blink at it now except for old school Catholics.

What's important here is not how he looks. It's the job he's doing. I'm fine with him and I found the show rather interesting coming from a COE clergy perspective.

It's not something you see often and it's quite a different take on exorcism I think, It's nice to see something besides a Catholic one.

This looks to be a spin of from Help My House is Haunted, which is an entertaining 'ghost hunting' program. Ian is a lot more believable as a the lead than some other programs of this type.

Whether you believe in the subject matter or view it as entertainment, it is worth watching.

There are criticisms for sure and some highly skeptical viewers will simply point out various flaws to 'debunk' the show as fake (if you don't believe in the sipernator exorcism then you are not going to changed in to a believer).

Ian is an Anglican exorcist (Catholicism doesn't have a monopoly on performing exorcisms contrary to other reviews) and in this show, sets out to help a lady who is displaying signs of possession. It is about the right level of spooky to maintain a semblance of belief, it could be far more extreme and over the top, like a number of US based shows of the same topic.

It won't challenge your beliefs either way nor will it terrify you to the point you can't sleep. It is entertaining and for those who enjoy the paranormal shows it is worth a watch.

This show is definitely fake. The acting is just horrendous and the story feels like a toddler wrote it. For people that know anything about exorcists, they know that you have to be a Catholic priest and essentially move up through the Vatican. Catholic priest can not get married. And tattoos are certainly not one of the Church's devotions. Mutilation of one's body is not laudable. In canon law, if a man desires to become a priest or deacon, the fact that he has a tattoo may require him to obtain a written dispensation in order to receive and to then exercise Holy Orders. Don't waste your time watching this garbage.

I think Ian is one of the leading psychics in the world today. He's as good as Amy Allan, who I also believe to be the real deal. Lots of people don't understand how it would be possible to experience these things.... until they experience it themselves. Ian would be the first person I'd contact if something was bothering me! The show is not over the top, it feels authentic. The balance is right in terms of entertainment and genuine evidence. I definitely liked the addition of Jayne in this programme. I keep checking back to see when the 2nd episode will be released. Barry should be involved too as they are all brilliant together. Ian definitely deserves his own show though, he's a great leading presenter. Very charismatic, empathetic, pragmatic and just a very likeable guy who knows his stuff!

Great show with an authentic bloke with genuine vibes and he's an ordained priest. I've watched Ian in a show called Help my house is Haunted.

Google search Ian Lawman before writing silly reviews doubting his or shows legitimaticy.

Just thought I'd give a nod to this guy and his work as I'm firm believer we live among people steered down wrong path by some other powers from other dimensions affecting us. It's a positive practice he provides. Think the more people helped the better society would be.
