In the video below, one of the world’s most well-known Demon Inquisitors, Dr. Richard Gallagher explains his 25-year role in diagnosing demon possession.

He describes his first case involving a priest who asked for his psychiatric opinion about a devout Catholic couple who believed they were being attacked by evil spirits. The wife was especially troubled and when Gallagher examined the woman, he found multiple bruises that would spontaneously appear.

Dr. Gallagher told Yahoo News, “It didn’t seem to be explainable on the basis of any medical or psychiatric pathology. She appeared to me to be completely sane. I had never seen a case like that before.”

Dr. Gallagher later determined that there was no medical cause for her injuries. She was being attacked by demons!

He also wrote in an article for the Washington Post where he shares one of his most memorable cases involving a woman who was a Satanist and self-professed High Priestess. Dr. Gallagher had written, “She called herself a witch and dressed the part, with flowing dark clothes and black eyeshadow around to her temples. In our many discussions, she acknowledged worshiping Satan as his ‘queen.’

“I’m a man of science and a lover of history; after studying the classics at Princeton, I trained in psychiatry at Yale and in psychoanalysis at Columbia. That background is why a Catholic priest had asked my professional opinion, which I offered pro bono, about whether this woman was suffering from a mental disorder. This was at the height of the national panic about Satanism.

(In a case that helped induce the hysteria, Virginia McMartin and others had recently been charged with alleged Satanic ritual abuse at a Los Angeles preschool; the charges were later dropped.) So I was inclined to skepticism. But my subject’s behavior exceeded what I could explain with my training,” Dr. Gallagher said.

“She could tell some people their secret weaknesses, such as undue pride. She knew how individuals she’d never known had died, including my mother and her fatal case of ovarian cancer. Six people later vouched to me that, during her exorcisms, they heard her speaking multiple languages, including Latin, completely unfamiliar to her outside of her trances.”

He stated, “This was not psychosis; it was what I can only describe as paranormal ability.

I concluded that she was possessed.”

In the video below,  Dr. Gallagher explains the story how the night before he was scheduled to meet with the Satanist woman that at about 3 am in his bedroom his two cats just went just completely berzerk.

When he spoke with the woman the next day, the first words out of her mouth were, “So Doc, how did you like those cats last night?”
