"Demonic Possession: Contemporary Mental Illness or The Real Deal?"

 Don't believe in demonic possession? Dr. Richard Gallagher does. A board-certified psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at the New York Medical College, Dr. Gallagher has a creepy side job: Scientific adviser on the governing board for the International Association of Exorcists.

In other words, he's an Exorcist's consultant--the guy they call to ascertain whether they're dealing with genuine demonic possession or just a case of ordinary mental illness.

Demand for Dr. Gallagher's unique expertise has spiked in recent years as western countries experience a surge in demonic activity, due in part to the increase in immigration from regions rife with occult practices.

A skeptic at first, his "consulting" work over the past 25 years has convinced Gallagher that, although rare, demon-possession is all too real.

In an extraordinary case of a woman known by the pseudonym "Julia", documented in the March 2008 issue of The New Oxford Review, The Daily Caller reports on Gallagher's findings:

"Julia was the self-professed queen of a Satanic cult and believed that she had been demonically-possessed. She reached out to a priest who referred her to Gallagher for a psychiatric examination. Not long into his examination, Gallagher said Julia relieved him of any doubt about her claim.

"Objects flew off walls and shelves when she was in the room. She repeatedly displayed knowledge of Gallagher's personal life that she could not have known, spoke in ancient languages, and entered a trance state during which a demonic voice spoke through her. That voice allegedly interrupted a phone conversation between Gallagher and the priest Julia contacted when she was not present with either of them. Both men heard the voice.

"Julia also exhibited enormous strength...and remarkably, for about 30 minutes, she actually levitated about half a foot in the air," Gallagher wrote.

Yikes. Looks like Satan is alive and well on planet Earth. Be sure to watch this "unfiltered video" featuring Dr. Richard Gallagher in action.

A wise man once said: "Some people develop an unhealthy fascination with the occult and demonic activity. This is unwise and unbiblical. If we pursue God, if we are clothing ourselves with His armor and relying on His strength, we have nothing to fear from  the evil ones, for God rules over all!" --GotQuestions.org

"And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 'Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God.' But Jesus rebuked him saying, 'Be silent and come out of him!' And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm" (LUKE 4:33-35).

"Why is Demonic Possession on the Rise?"

The Vatican has backed a new exorcism course apparently due to the recent rise in occult practices...especially among the young.

Professor Giuseppe Ferrari, a leading authority on demonic possession, claims all the vampire-hype in the Twilight saga (etc.) is encouraging young people to dabble in the occult.

The result? A global rise in demonic possessions.

Professor Ferrari, head of The Group on Research and Socio-Religious Information (an Italian occult watchdog organization), urges only properly trained priests to conduct exorcisms.

Pope Francis agrees. Vatican to Train More Exorcists

According to an article in The Independent: "Although the Vatican regards genuine demonic possession as rare, with many suspected cases proving to be people with mental illnesses, Pope Francis has urged dioceses to ensure that they follow Catholic law and have at least one trained exorcist each."

Not convinced this is a serious problem?

"In 2012 it emerged that the Diocese of Milan, the biggest in the world, had installed an exorcism hot line to cope with the demand," reports The Independent.

"Monsignor Angelo Mascheroni, Milan's chief exorcist, said that his diocese had doubled the number of exorcists from 6 to 12 to cope with the 100% rise in the number of requests for help over the last 15 years."

In fact, in the Diocese of Rome a third of the telephone calls received by Catholic officials relate to requests for exorcisms.

"Priests at the conference blamed everything from pornography, television and drug taking to greater interest in the occult for the rise in the number of demonic possessions," contends The Telegraph.

And the U.S.?

"The ancient rite of casting out Satan and his demons from the souls of the possessed is thriving," say experts. "Exorcism Thriving in U.S."

While concern over demonic possession seems to be the purview of Catholics, the Bible warns all Christians the devil is on the prowl for victims (see 1 Peter 6:8).

"But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons." (1 Timothy 4:1)

A wise man once said: "An exorcism is tantamount to a miracle--an extraordinary intervention of God."  -- Gabriele Nanni, exorcist
