Memoirs of an Exorcist
Level-headed and highly knowledgeable, David Devereux is cofounder of a company specializing in situations that range from cleansing houses and businesses of malign paranormal influences to curse-protection and exorcism.
In this compelling and fascinating book, he recalls his extraordinary experiences in the deadpan, matter-of-fact tone of the unphased professional that he is, approaching the most hair-raising of situations with calm, authority, and logic – often accompanied by a cigarette and a whiskey. He tells of work done quietly and discreetly in locations ranging from ordinary suburban homes and provincial offices to the boardrooms of multinational corporations and the mansions of household names; and explains the difference between psychic activity, hauntings by the dead, and other entities.
Stories include that of a long-standing client who was the target of magical attacks on a regular basis, and how David dissuaded the attackers; how he successfully cornered a malevolent ghost and pushed him across to the other side; and how he witnessed violent and terrifying poltergeist activity.
From the basic principles of exorcism to tales of haunted workplaces and bars – and including a glossary of terms – this is a must for fans of real-life ghost stories.
