Catholic Exorcism Performed on New Mexico Ranch Formerly Owned by Epstein

During his show on YouTube, Catholic author Dr. Taylor Marshall revealed that a Catholic family who purchased the property known as the Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, formerly owned by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, had a priest perform a Catholic exorcism on the site. 

In an interview with Newsmax, Devin Huffines, a representative from the family who purchased the 7,500 acre property which includes a 33,000 square foot house, said initially there was opposition to the purchase within the family, particularly from the women. Underage girls were reportedly abused at the ranch. They felt better, however, after being assured that proceeds from the sale would go to victims of Epstein.

The Huffines flew in a Latin Mass priest to exorcise the property. Given its vastness, it took him three days, and then the family renamed the ranch San Rafael Ranch. St. Raphael the Archangel is associated with healing.

Though the purchase was completed in 2023, the New Mexico Department of Justice reopened a criminal probe to ensure no stone went unturned in learning the fullness of crimes that may have occurred while the property was in the possession of Epstein. 

The Huffines let in the investigators without a warrant, and dozens of agents descended on the property with equipment and cadaver dogs looking for bodies or tunnels, but the search came up empty.

The Huffines family plans to use the newly renamed San Rafael Ranch as a Christian retreat center. Once the criminal probe is fully closed and complete, they will kickstart the project.
