|
Ralph Sarchie is a retired 16 year NYPD veteran who had worked out of the 46th Precinct in New York's South Bronx. But, it is his other job that he calls the work : investigating cases of demonic possession and assisting in the exorcisms of humanity's most ancient and most dangerous foes. He has written about his investigations into incredible crimes and inhuman evil that were never explained, solved, or understood except by Sarchie and his partner. Schooled in the rituals of exorcisms, and eyewitness to the reality of demonic possession Ralph Sarchie has documented a riveting chronicle of the inexplicable that gives new shape to the shadows in the dark.
Exorcisms & Possession |

Demonologist and former NYC cop, Ralph Sarchie, the co-author of Beware the Night, shared stories of possessions and exorcisms. He said got involved in "the work" after reading the book Satan's Harvest, and then began assisting in Catholic exorcisms. "They don't call them unclean spirits for nothing," said Sarchie, who described the typically possessed person as exhibiting extremely vulgar language and behavior. In one case though, that he found particularly frightening, Sarchie said an eight year old girl showed no signs of aggression, but rather spoke in fluent Latin. A Long Island housewife didn't speak at all, but rather made deep guttural sounds, he added.Sarchie said that the exorcisms he assists in, are often performed at a church, and the person having the ritual performed on them, is usually restrained, sometimes even straight-jacketed. People can sometimes become possessed by curses, particularly by family members, if they are fueled by intense hatred, he noted. Accordi
