Devil-Obsessed: My Experience as a Psychiatrist with the Paranormal

Renowned New York psychiatrist Dr. Richard Gallagher has an unusual profession. He is a specialist in demon possession… and a scientific consultant in the field of exorcism. Many years ago, a priest knocked on his door, asking him to investigate an unusual patient. After conducting tests, Gallagher was surprised: the girl was mentally healthy but demonstrated extrasensory abilities, recounting details of the lives of strangers, including the psychiatrist's mother. She could control the behavior of pets and spoke several languages fluently, but only when she was in a trance. She referred to herself as a priestess of a satanic cult she had been a part of for many years. After meeting her, frightening things began to happen to both the priest and the psychiatrist… Now Dr. Gallagher is a world-renowned specialist who has dedicated his life to studying demonic possession. Exorcists of all denominations turn to him for consultation to distinguish true possession from mental or medical illness. Gallagher is absolutely convinced: true demonic intervention is not psychosis, depression, schizophrenia, or an epileptic seizure, but something entirely different. His book tells us: there is a place in this world for "dark," demonic forces that science cannot explain. And it is very dangerous to underestimate the extent of their influence on people…
