THE DEMON KNEW EVERYONE’S SECRETS: The True Possession Case That Terrified A Psychiatrist

When a skeptical Yale-trained psychiatrist was called to evaluate a self-proclaimed satanic high priestess claiming demonic possession, he expected to find mental illness, not a woman who knew intimate secrets about people she'd never met.
