Hostage to the Devil

We had regular visitor Robert Marro on the show talking about his ambitions to write a new book on his close friend Malachi Martin. Here is what he had to say:
"I was a very close friend of Malachi for the last decade of his life until his untimely death on July 27, 1999. Countless people have told me that since I was Malachi's confidante who knew and assisted Malachi Martin daily, I'm obligated to tell the story of this holy priest I was privileged to call my best friend and spiritual advisor.

I'm compelled to set the record straight due to widespread misinformation about him on the Internet, a vicious mixture of gossip, rumours, lies, and outright slander. The book's working title is "MALACHI MARTIN - A Holy Priest Against the Approaching Scream of the ANCIENT BEAST." Strictly speaking, it will be a non-fiction biographic memoir that won't shy away from addressing the more controversial issues that continue to plague Malachi Martin's legacy to this day unfairly."

Marty talks to Emma Louise Tully about her book, The Haunting of Sharon Rectory, which is based on the author's 22-year diary of her paranormal experiences since moving into the property in the 1990s.
Emma shares intriguing insights into the eerie occurrences and the network of psychic supporters they have called on to help with their unconventional plight. She explains why this close-knit family is unprepared to leave their beautiful home.

Sharon Rectory is haunted by the lost souls of its former residents, who aren't prepared to go quietly either. 'The Blue Lady', one such ghost, is thought to be the murder victim of the original owner, Sara Waller. A dark, evil spirit also occupies the rectory. This powerful demonic presence plagues the family and wreaks havoc as its identity is gradually uncovered. Part historical/part modern-day true ghost story, the author writes of her family's terror and their physical and mental torment as they try to maintain some semblance of everyday life at Sharon Rectory. Not for the faint of heart, this absolute and honest memoir of life among the paranormal will have you completely hooked from the very beginning.

We had the opportunity to sit down with academic psychiatrist Dr. Richard Gallagher in September 2018 to talk about his experiences working on demonic oppression and possession cases.
His book 'Demonic Foes: My Twenty-Five Years as a Psychiatrist Investigating Possessions, Diabolic Attacks, and the Paranormal' is now available to BUY HERE.

The world’s leading psychiatric authority on demonic possession delves into the hidden world of exorcisms and his own transformation from cynic to believer over the course of his twenty-five-year career.
Successful New York psychiatrist Richard Gallagher was skeptical yet intrigued when a hard-nosed, no-nonsense Catholic priest asked him to examine a woman for a possible exorcism. Meeting her, Gallagher was astonished. The woman’s behavior defied logic. In an instant, she could pinpoint a person’s secret weaknesses. She knew how individuals she’d never known had died, including Gallagher’s own mother, who passed away after a lengthy battle with ovarian cancer. She spoke fluently in multiple languages, including Latin—but only when she was in a trance.

This was not psychosis, Gallagher concluded. It was, in his scientific estimation, what could only be describe as paranormal ability. The woman wasn’t mentally disturbed—she was possessed. This remarkable case was the first of many that Gallagher would encounter. Sought after today by leaders of all faiths—ministers, priests, rabbis and imams, Gallagher has spent a quarter-century studying demonic activity and exorcisms throughout history and has witnessed more cases than any other psychiatrist in the world today.

In this eerie and enthralling book, Gallagher chronicles his most famous cases for the first time, including:

• A professional who claimed her spiritualist mother had “assigned” her a spirit who “turned on her.”
• A petite woman—”90 pounds soaking wet”—who threw a 200-pound Lutheran deacon across the room to the horror of onlookers in a church hall;
• And “Julia,” the so-called Satanic queen and self-described witch, who exhibited “the most harrowing” case, a “once-in-a-century” possession.

Going beyond horror movies and novels, Demonic Foes takes you deep into this hidden world, sharing in full details of these true-life tales of demonic possession.
