Exorcisms: The World’s Leading Psychiatric Authority Speaks Out
What is the evidence that demon possession is real? What do exorcisms entail? Today I talk with board-certified psychiatrist, professor of psychiatry, and leading psychiatric expert on demonic possession, Dr. Richard Gallagher. He is the author of a book called Demonic Foes and has a ton of insight and stories to share with us from his twenty-five years of investigating the subject of the paranormal and diabolic attacks.

Seek 1st the kingdom of God and all will be added. God is love
I had a demon. God deft delivered me in 2010
The power of crhrist compels you
So are the deities of Hinduism. They are demons.
There is no such thing as demonic possession.
Oppression is very real. Going through it now. Gone through it my entire life. Dealt with fear my entire life. Exposed to horror movies at a very young age. Habitual backslider. Felt an evil spirit come over me 3 times in the last 5 years. Been through deliverance a handful of times 🙏. Didn't work. Tip to all Christians, pray you do not backslide. Demons come back stronger each time. I take full responsibility for my actions.
To ALL YouTubers, please turn down your volume to match your guests with low voices! If we can't hear them, then when you come back on, you're SCREAMING! 😂 LBVS
So does anyone have a picture
Of your 35 associates whom you claim have seen levitation . Let me guess , -NO – Why not , cameras have been around since 1800,s.
Okay. Mr Gallagher and this interviewer provide zero evidence of demonic possession. This is a perfect opportunity to provide at least a video. Something as evidence. I really didn't think they would. These grifters never provide evidence. Just talk. Fact is there is zero scientific evidence for anything supernatural in this world. And he's making a ton of money off of his fictitious books. Okay go ahead and reply with all your ghost stories. They are b***** and you know it. And judging by the comments everyone who agrees with this guy is also religious minded. Hmmmm
Manz has that coke sniff
I really believe most mental illness is cause from believing lies of the enemy. I have experienced demonic presence around me.. and on me.. I’ve had 3 out of body experiences. (Wasn’t sure that’s what it was called at the time.) the first time I was not a follower of Christ the 2 other times I was a follower but in a desert place.. it was the same night for both times. The Word says that at the name of Jesus the enemy will flee.
My 3rd daughter experienced demonic torment through out her childhood till she was a teen. I wrote scripture on her walls and told her when the enemy came to speak the name of Jesus. I do t think that the enemy any longer messes with her. She has been set free from most of the fear struggles she had growing up. Praise the Lord that he protects His children!!! I’m so very thankful and grateful to the Lord Jesus !!
Thankiuu , and thankiuu Dr. Gallagher !
It's very unfortunate but the fact that the guy was christian already before starting to diagnose possession makes him much less credible because he has a clear incentive to say that demons are true in order to push his religion's credibility.
I would love to see these things being said by a younger and atheist psychiatrist.
Otherwise it's too easy to make it all about christianity.
Check out Vlad Savchuk and Isaiah Saldivar
I think possession is very common..I have personally stared evil in the face. With people seeking alternative religions other than Christianity and Judaism, demonic possession is possible. Look at what is going on in the world. Jesus is the only way. I have myself suffered spiritual attack because someone I loved was under demonic attack and I challenged it. I am not clergy and I should not have done it but I was stronger than he was. It attacked me physically and spirtually but I asked Gid to help both of us and it ended after a week. God fought for his soul and I was just a vessel. N y friend thanked me not knowing what I exactly did but he knew I reached out to God..Don't ever try this.
If you're experiencing evil manifestations, get back into the sacraments immediately. Go to mass regularly, go to confession, receive the Eucharist, and pray, pray, pray. Say the holy Rosary. God bless.
I believe that any sin opens doors. The act of keeping your relationship with God strong and repentance for sins committed keeps us safe. That's not to say that it's completely impossible for a person who has a relationship with God to be possessed. God allows people to possess because in some way somehow it suits his purpose. Maybe that's the only way certain people will come to God and choose to follow him. I believe that God can do all things. I believe he can reach into hell if he chooses and pull a soul out. God sent his only son to be tortured and die for us. I try to imagine how that would feel. To send your only child to save a bunch of people that for the most part could give a hoot about him. And I believe Jesus knew this when he chose to save us. He knew many people would reject him and his father but I think if there had been even just one of us that he could save he would have done the same. And thank God for that. But I try to imagine having watch that. I always try to put myself in these situations. Like when Abraham was told he was to sacrifice his only son. How badly would that hurt? Would I be strong enough to do it. If I heard an audible voice of God telling me to do it I would but my God would that hurt? The men of the Old Testament were G's lol.
Whatch 1.40× SPEED>
Protacted from the session?
So diaboli have merged themeselves in society?
¿👽👹👻👿🐲?
¿👹👽?
Orthodox and other Protestant?? Orthodox is not other Protestant! It is the church, with four bishops that the pope thought he could excommunicate. Where the pope is only one bishop and he’s been replaced!
It just crossed my mind, these two guys actually demon possessed and figured they’d do this show to mess with people’s minds!😂😂😂
Dear Lord please protect Dr. Gallagher in his service to helping his patients from evil affliction. Walk with him and strengthen him with the Holy Spirit. Thank you Heavenly Father. Amen. 🙏
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
I SO NEED TO TELL MY STORY ITS MIND BLOWING AND SO REAL I WAS MARRIED TO SOMEONE FOR 5 years that could tell me from hundreds of miles away what im wearing who had been in my car what they were wearing and had not seen the car yet so no cameras I GOT SO MANY STORIES AND YES NOTHING THEY CANNOT DO I LEFT HER FK THAT
In the early 90s I was 7 or 8 I was Playing with 15 other kids. We all were playing hide and seek and I remember we were about to start a new game and 2 kids come running from the back alley and they are yelling “ look look look” as they are pointing up. We look up and there it was a round very big and I mean big saucer coming over the apartment building. All of us started oohing and awing. Then all that amazement turned into fear as it was about 15 stories above us and it was making a crazy humming sound kind of like an electrical sound, it was like a pulsating electric feeling all threw our body. We all literally started crying at the same time and it wasn’t normal crying , that cry like if we were being killed. We all ran home terrified for what we just saw. This thing was so low and really big , the city lights lit the thing up, u can see everything. We can see the windows and in the windows there were little people waving at us. I swear I ain’t making this up there was a lot of people who saw it. Then the next day we all gathered around the spot we saw this and I swear I ain’t making this sh!t up. So we were sitting there talking about what we saw and this guy walks up and ask if we saw weird stuff last night. We told him everything he wrote it down and then when we were done he tells us not to worry about it because what we saw was a weather balloon, I shit u not. Oh did I mention the guy was dressed in a black suit. I thought he was FBI because this happened before the movie men in black came out, this sighting was way bigger than the Arizona sighting and I don’t understand why the story didn’t blow up. This happened either in92 or 93 in Orange County California.
Edit: ok so I posted this before watching the video and omg the similarities are scary. We got the same name which is not that important, the first time I saw a ufo was when I was 7 or 8 the story above that I posted. The second time was when I was 20 I was with a friend and we were outside talking at 10 pm in California and it was a cloudy night and I look up and out came a small ball of a bright light out the clouds. It came down fast stoped and it started zigzagging and flew straight back in to the clouds. It happened so fast when I yelled “ omg a ufo” to my friend by the time he looks up it was gone. I he said that I’m crazy and it probably was nothing. The second he said it he was still looking up boom straight down out of the clouds it did the same exact thing zigzagged and shot straight back into the clouds. Then we spent 4 hours watching the sky. The third time I saw a ufo I had already moved to Michigan it was a year and a half when I was at work and stepped outside to smoke a cigarette and I look up those was a ball of orange light going slow coming from left to right. The thing looked like something on fire. I went in yelling at everybody ufo and they looked at me like I was crazy , nobody came outside 😢.the and the fourth was in a year into Covid and I was outside getting air and I looked up and I swear I saw whole fleet of these things like at least 100 of them. I remember I thought the every single star was moving and because of the way it look like the sky was moving I felt vertigo’s I tried taking a step and I was feeling dizzy and weird. Then I called my family and once again they looked at me like I was 5150 and they did not come out side. From there the last 3 years almost every day I see something and I don’t have proof for the first four sightings but I do for the rest and it’s a lot but I don’t upload nothing because I don’t want the men in black harassing me I met them once I don’t want to meet them again. Extraterrestrial activity isn’t the only thing I’ve experienced. Righ after the first sighting i have witnessed paranormal activities too and I’ve seen things that will give you nightmares. Like real life scary horror stuff. I only have proof of the paranormal for the last year and a half, I set cameras all over my house and I’m glad I did.
I read somewhere, that you sometimes can tell of demonic presence in someone..by yhem constantly clearing their throat, blinking their eyes, or staring at someone without blinking at all.
Hope to buy his books! Good Interview✝️
To be fair – in regards to people charging for exorcism, it does make sense. The TV show thing is obviously a scam.
But the fact that the catholic church wouldn't need to charge is because they get paid either way with tithing/whatever – functioning like "demon insurance".
Demonic possession is very common it is often written off as a mental health disorder the only way to cure it is the name of Jesus Christ and the power of the holy Ghost
Early in the video around the 13:00 marker. They talk about different types of Oppression and possessions and what they look like. It may be rare that a person can levitate in a full possession state? It also could be that different demons have different abilities when they are possessing or oppressing human beings? In the Book of Solomon. I'm sure you're aware The Book of Solomon from the Dead Sea Scrolls, and also called the last books of the Bible. Apocrypha. Also in the Bible in Ethiopia. The well-known Church in Lalibela. Solomon had many hoarders of demons listed under his control with a ring. Until his prophesied downfall. That the Arc Angel Michael gave him. According to Jewish tradition, the Temple of Solomon, also known as "the First Temple," was built by King Solomon, or rather by the demon he enslaved. (circa 990–931 BCE) long ago on the spot where God created Adam, the first man. But the building was destroyed four hundred years after prophesied by the demon Orneclies. Once the down fall came to fruition as was told to Solomon. You would think the King would have put safeguards in place. He did not. And all these demon enslaved by King Solomon and his ring as listed in the "Testament of Solomon." were released to cause havoc all over the world. Israelites were enslaved and their prosperous world brought to its knees entirely. My very long point to this is that when you read the book of Solomon and you can get this on YouTube and listen to it or watch? You'll find that each and every one of these demons has a separate power and groups of demons that work underneath them. Literally Legions of minions who do their bidding and have special intricate powers to cause man havoc. The demon in the "Testament of Solomon" have a hierarchy. President's, generals, etc. As I said before, and each with a special torturous ability. Some bring flies, some snakes, some suck out your breath, health, or spirit. Some are changelings and can morph into any person, or creature. To know how to battle each one. You need their name. They aren't about to share their name. Names have power. It either has to be forced out of them by the word of God or you need to have someone that has the power of discernment reach in and get it for you then and only then can you conquer this negative entity for good. Every demon has something that will make it go away or confound them. It is up to the discerner to figure out what that is.
>m elizabeth louise foggo 20th January 1972 born in UK now in RSA I have a demonic curse on me for 2 years now and no one believes or helps me I have 3 demons attached on the outside they have names and voices of people I know ii was a atheist till this happend although it's painfull and uncomfortable at times it's also interesting witchdts and mediums work with demons and only heal for a fee my demons are fast smart funny sometimes and dnt smell cz they jump in my salt herb baths😮they dnt mess with my mind we communicate only yes and no they don't eat drink or sleep and you can use a ghost detector app to pick them up on radar so yes demons are real and need to be respected they know the Bible and their rights and need to be sent home Ina deceant and proper manner and to be honest I think HUMANS ARE FAR MORE EVIL THAN DEMONS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My only oppression involved levitating… A lifting of your body, you cannot recreate trying…after. for me, it was a snake coiling around me liftng me. It was huge. Sleep paralysed, in my heart Jesus heard my cry. Rescued. Idk! Happened after a horrible betrayal. Homeless and attacked, pretty evil!!
You are possessed with evil spirits when you have severe anger issues, wishing people dead because they hurt you even if it is so mild. You are possessed by evil spirits when you have severe anxiety, issues with depression, you have severe issues of envy, jealousy. I know it because I asked for the devil then and I know I had those bad feelings that were above and beyond the normal issue of anger, envy, etc. In the end I realized I have no one to asked for help that is more powerful than those evil spirits than Mother Mary who was given to us as our mother. I had issues with my natural mother, she never mothered me as a child and thus i called for the evil spirit who gave me the worst times of my life. I remember I had big pimples/ lumps on my face then that I never had in my younger years. I had a nice skin according to those around me however during those time that I was possessed I had big pimples that put big holes on my face. The evil spirit is truly destructive in nature. If you start doubting the love of God, cry to God but never ask the devil to come to you because they truly will enter your mind and heart and will have remnants until you have a complete daily prayerful life.
im so happy to see you Brian of Backstreet Boys that ur happy wth ur new podcast
They aren’t fallen angels they are the offspring of the fallen angels called nephalim they aren’t a creation of GOD so they don’t go to heaven they are stranded on earth while the parents are kept away from humans until the very end
Please pray for me.
The catholic church has greatly underestimated just how many people who are really demon possed….
Wow, excellent questions, great info. Thank you ❤
Dr. Gallagher should apologise to pagans who work with Ancient Deity quite well.
Ancient Deity refers to humans as "talking Monkeys", Pretty accurate description I think.
30 minutes levitating and no one thought to video tape it?
Im under attack
asking a secular worldly man about spiritual issues is counter productive. You should have asked a spirit filled minister of the gospel whos done hundreds of deliverance. Not a catholic priest either. theyre mostly useless.
Spiritual realities have physical consequences.
He bores demons to death.. zzzzz
The writing off of demonic involvement, particularly with the cluster b types, seems unusually lenient, and it's becoming a trend.
Either you call yourself an expert on these topics and proliferate social media spreading the word that these are just "misunderstood personality disorders" or you get real with the people who have been eye to eye with this level of demonic interference, who know first hand that their loved ones have handed over the reigns to something else.
