A renowned board-certified psychiatrist has claimed to have\u00a0witnessed hundreds of demonic possessions<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0despite being an avowed \u201cman of science.\u201d Dr. Richard Gallagher said he was initially skeptical of demonic possession, despite being a devout Catholic himself. The Columbia University<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span> and New York Medical College<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/em>faculty member eventually served as a scientific adviser to the International Association of Exorcists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gallagher has specialized in personality disorders and psychopharmacology for about forty years, but his involvement in malevolent spirits started unexpectedly in the early 1990s. A priest came to Gallagher\u2019s office to ask for his opinion about a woman claiming to have been attacked by evil spirits. Despite the psychiatrist saying the priest was \u201cincredulous,\u201d he agreed to observe the patient and promised to keep an open mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since that visit thirty years ago, Gallagher has become the world\u2019s leading consultant on demonic possession for the Catholic Church. He wrote down his experiences in a new book titled Demonic Foes: My Twenty-Five Years as a Psychiatrist Investigating Possessions, Diabolic Attacks and the Paranormal.<\/em> He outlined some of the notable cases of demonic possessions he handled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scientists shares notable cases of \u201cdemonic possession\u201d in his book<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gallagher shares several notable cases that he\u2019s encountered over the years in his book.<\/span><\/p>\n

In one case, the victim who he hides under the name \u201cJulia,\u201d spoke in tongues and levitated during her exorcism. In addition, she possessed knowledge of certain things she couldn\u2019t know otherwise \u2013 such as knowing that Gallagher\u2019s mother died of ovarian cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019m possessed,\u201d\u00a0Julia later told Gallagher during a consultation<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. \u201cI space out and then don\u2019t recall what happens. They tell me a voice comes out of me. I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t remember anything. It\u2019s a demon, I\u2019m sure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

During her exorcism, two nuns were instructed to lay their hands on Julia\u2019s shoulders and arms \u2013 when she suddenly levitated a foot off the chair for 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the exorcism failed to remove the malevolent being controlling her.<\/span><\/p>\n

In another case, a Rural West Virginia housewife, who he called \u201cCatherine,\u201d went into trance-like states and blasphemed whenever something related to religion was mentioned. In addition, she displayed a very odd symptom: She selectively could not hear or see anything that had to do with religion, such as going to church or praying. Three doctors Catherine visited \u2013 an otolaryngologist, a psychologist and an audiologist \u2013 were unable to find any explanation for her symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStan,\u201d a middle-aged male from the Pacific Northwest, claimed that \u201csome kind of weird, unseen assailants\u201d periodically scratched and occasionally choked him. Gallagher described him as a \u201cbrilliant man\u201d who was \u201cwell-read and knowledgeable about religious history.\u201d Stan was delivered from his demons in an exorcism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dabbling in Satanism and the occult puts one at risk for demonic attacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gallagher said the most common cause for demonic attacks is when someone has turned to evil<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or the occult, adding that the malevolent being strikes when people attempt to flee the evil influence. Some of the possessed individuals Gallagher named had involved themselves with the profane at some point in their lives.

\u201cJulia\u201d was a high priestess of a Satanist cult, acknowledging the devil as a \u201cqueen\u201d which gave her a certain set of supernatural powers. She was hesitant to give up her paranormal vision, part of the powers she received from evil sources, as it meant she would renounce the source of her ability. In addition, Julia mentioned that the abilities she obtained were typical of a \u201cpowerful witch.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gallagher said \u201cCatherine\u201d dabbled in satanic rituals as a teenager and had promised herself to evil spirits. He added that she did \u201ca few grisly things\u201d and performed minor rituals<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with a couple of friends \u2013 opening her up to possession. \u201cCatherine\u2019s\u201d inability to hear or see anything related to spirituality made her case very challenging, the psychiatrist remarked. \u201cStan\u201d also faced the same issue: He initially denied engaging with the occult, until admitting to Gallagher that he had briefly turned to Satanism as a young man and \u201cpromised his soul\u201d in exchange for favors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it is an outright manifestation of demonic power or subtle promotion of evil, demonic possession is truly on the rise<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in recent times. Even the leaders of Black Lives Matter admitted their involvement<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the occult such as witchcraft and Satanism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humanity turning away from God and dabbling in the profane only serves to strengthen evil. Thus, repenting and acknowledging His omnipotence will shield humanity from the snares of Satan.<\/span><\/p>\n
