“I’m not a ghosthunter; I’m not a paranormal investigator; I’m a demonologist,” says the real Sarchie.
Those of you who have been reading up on the July 2 release of Deliver Us From Evil knows that it is allegedly based on the accounts of a real NYPD sergeant, Ralph Sarchie, who spent many years on the force while assisting with exorcisms in his spare time.
As promised back in May, Sony has released the following 15-minute documentary about Sarchie, where he talks about his real-life experiences investigating demonic possessions.
Sarchie, who wrote a 2001 book about his demon-chasing career called “Beware the Night,” says he assisted at more than 20 such rituals, and investigated more than 50 spooky cases in all. He and his crew would typically roam a spirit-infested house to spread holy water, incense and holy oil, then pray in unison. (Source: The NY Post, EW)
