Meeting her, Gallagher was astonished. The woman’s behaviour 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis was not psychosis, Gallagher concluded. It was, in his scientific estimation, what could only be described 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this eerie and enthralling book, Gallagher chronicles his most famous cases for the first time, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA professional who claimed her spiritualist mother had “assigned” her a spirit who “turned on her.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA 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;\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAnd “Julia,” the so-called Satanic queen and self-described witch, who exhibited “the most harrowing” case, a “once-in-a-century” possession.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGoing beyond horror movies and novels, \u003cem\u003eDemonic Foes\u003c\/em\u003e takes you deep into this hidden world, sharing in full details of these true-life tales of demonic possession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46547236978924,"sku":"9780062876478","price":57.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9968883482210.jpg?v=1749871484"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/richard-gallagher.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
