Notwithstanding the large post WWII influx of immigration from the Indian subcontinent, Leicester is not the place that would boast a centuries-old legend of a witch described as possessing the blue features mirroring the Hindu Goddess Kali.
Black Annis (also called Black Anna or Cat Anna) was said to live in a cave in the now urbanized Dane Hills Housing Estate on the outskirts of Leicester.
The first official mention of Black Annis was in 1764, in legal documents referring to an area of land ‘known by the name of Black Anny’s Bower Close’, where she has used her iron claws to dig a cave out of the side of a sandstone cliff.
By the mouth of the cave grew a pollarded oak in which the witch hid to pounce on local kids. After capture, she sucked them dry of blood and ate their flesh, before draping their flayed skins out to dry on the oak's branches. The old oak tree is also recorded as having stood over the entrance, as was noted by local historian, William Kelly, quoted in The Leicester Mercury back in 1999:
“On my last visit to the Bower Close, now several years ago, the trunk of the old tree was then standing, but I know not if it still remains," he said. “At that time, and long previously, the mouth of the cave was closed, but in my school-boy days it was open, and, with two or three companions, I recollect on one occasion snatching a fearful joy, by crawling on our hands and knees into the interior, which was some seven or eight feet long by about four or five feet wide, and having a ledge of rock, for a seat, running along each side.”
“Watch out or Annis'll get you”
Black Annis wore skirts sewn from these skins and also preyed on animals to such an extent, local shepherds blamed any lost sheep on the hag. Generations of Leicester's boys and girls, if either naughty or out after dark, were told, “watch out or Annis'll get you”.
Tales will tell you that when when Black Annis ground her sharp fangs, local people could hear her, giving them just enough time to bolt their doors and to keep away from the window. Cottages in Leicestershire were purposely built with tiny windows so that the witch could only get one withered blue arm inside. According to folklore, when Black Annis screeched, she could be heard from up to 5 miles away. On hearing her howl, villagers would fasten animal skins across the windows and place protective herbs above the sills.
Today, the cave is thought to be in a back garden of a home in Dane Hills, filled in with earth and turfed over - although the deeds to the house reportedly mention the land is named “Black Anna’s Bower Close”.
An ancient account of Annis was supposedly told by a WWII evacuee to folklorist Ruth Tongue in 1941: Three children were sent out by their wicked step-mother to collect fire-wood. As night descended they feared to see Black Annis who only came out after dark for, it was said, 'daylight would turn her to stone'. They heard a snuffling and, through a hole in their witch-stone, saw Black Annis. Unable to escape her whilst carrying the faggots, they dropped them and ran. Annis bloodied her legs on the bundles and, mumbling and cursing to herself, went to her bower to rub her legs with salve. Then she came back for the children and caught-up with them at their cottage door. Their dad came out with an axe and hit Annis full in the face. She began to run for her cave shouting 'Blood! Blood!' but just then the Christmas bells began to peal and she fell down dead.
Leicestershire poet, John Heyrick Jnr wrote of Black Annis in the 18th century:
“Vast talons, foul with human flesh, there grew In place of hands, and features livid blue Glar'd in her visage; while the obscene waist Warm skins of human victims close embraced.”
Black Annis apparently confronted King Richard III on his way to the nearby Battle of Bosworth in 1485 When the King’s spurs struck a stone pillar on Leicester’s Bow Bridge, the crone declared his uncrowned head would hit the post on the way back.
After Richard lost the battle to usurper Henry Tudor, the late king’s bare-assed body was thrown across the saddle of a horse and his head, hanging down as low as the stirrups, hit the very same stone.
A tablet was put on the re-rebuilt bridge in the nineteenth century saying “his head was dashed and broken as a wise-woman had foretold, who before Richard’s going to battle being asked of his success said that where his spur struck his head would be broken”. If it indeed existed, the tablet is no longer there.
Black Annis featured in a Victorian Melodrama called ‘Black Anna’s Bower, or The Maniac of the Dane Hills’ about the murder of the landlady of ‘The Blue Boar’ pub.
Leicester has had a Boar Inn since the Middle Ages; its latest incarnation is a micropub selling craft ales situated down a side street. The original White Boar was a much grander establishment and played host to Richard III as he made his way to Bosworth Field, possibly chosen because the castle was in a ramshackle state and, importantly, the White Boar was also Richard’s personal symbol, or sigil, as called in Game of Thrones.
The King would not sleep in strange beds and so brought his own, and had it set up in the White Boar. When Richard left Leicester, his bed remained, ready for his expected return. This, of course, never happened. After his death, the bed stayed at the re-named Blue Boar, passing from tenant to tenant until it was eventually acquired by Leicestershire Museums Service, where it is today on display at Donington Le Heath Manor House.

In 1604, the tavern’s owner, Mayor’s widow Mrs Clarke was strangled to death because of a hoard of gold coins found hidden in the bed, which had partially funded her late husband’s mayoral campaign. The criminals, Thomas Harrison and Edward Bradshaw, aided by Mrs Clark’s servant, Alice Grimbold, were quickly apprehended and Bradshaw was hanged for his crime in 1605, whilst Alice – found to be an accomplice in the robbery and murder of her mistress – was burnt at the stake for ‘petty treason’. After the murder, the bed became notorious and in 1611, ‘King Richard’s bed-sted I’ Leyster’ was on the list of English sights and exhibitions to be seen for a penny.
In 1604, the The thieves 1604 haul was worth between £300-£500. Today, it would have been valued at between $98,853.68- $164,756.14 or £76,000-£126,000.
Shortly after Agnes Clarke’s death, the new owners and the locals noticed a white, misty apparition that resembled a woman manifesting about the Inn, presumed to be the restless spirit of Agnes Clarke. Agnes’s ghost remained peacefully enough in the Blue Boar until in 1836, when Leicester’s authorities decided the old timber medieval building was out of place in the vibrant new Leicester and demolished it.
Another Blue Board Inn was built a few streets away down Southgate Street, an ordinary, everyday tavern that became very popular with the locals. However, the ghost of Agnes Clarke appeared to be haunting the new Blue Boar Inn, becoming a fixture of the pub, that is until 1958 when landlord Fred Mason took over. Mason didn’t believe in ghosts and pooh-poohed the stories, chalking up various accidents he experienced to bad luck and clumsiness.
But when he woke one night to the sight of an eerie white figure moving towards the foot of his bed, Fred Mason instantly became a firm believer in the supernatural. Agnes was apparently happy that the new landlord had acknowledged her and never bothered him again.
By the 1960’s, a post-war desire to modernize Leicester saw much of Southgate Street designated for demolition/redevelopment. By 1965, the Blue Boar was abandoned and boarded up, but Agnes’s ghost remained there in the shell of the pub.
A patrolling policeman paused outside the inn but was suddenly attacked by a volley of stones from the empty building. Doesn’t really sound like Agnes though; more likely to be local yobs. Her spirit never relocated to the other Leicester pubs that have taken up the name of the Blue Boar Inn, but the misty figure of a woman continues to be seen in Leicester’s Southgate.
At the Dane Hills, Easter Monday was also known as Black Monday, an occasion when Leicester’s Mayor and the dignitaries set off for a ‘mock-hare hunt’ at noon. The hare was in fact a dead cat, soaked in aniseed (hence the cat annis?), and tied to the tail of a horse, which dragged it from Bower Bridge, through the town streets to the Mayor’s residence. Charming.
In later years, the hunt gave way to an annual event known as the Dane Hills Fair, which lasted until the 1920s.
Black Annis isstillbelieved to haunt the area of the Church of St. Mary de Castro and Leicester Castle, specifically Prince Rupert’s Gate, where she sleeps in the castle cellars, reached from a tunnel in her cave.
Black Annis could be related related to pre-Christian winter goddesses, faces blue with cold, who heralded cold, dissolution and death. She may be a less appealing side to Mother Goddess Anu/Danu worshipped in the cave she supposedly dwelt. Others posit her being an aspect of Brighid or Brigantia, who took the souls of human children into her care. The Dane Hills [possibly from Danu] being the nexus of her cult.
Black Annis may then represent the crone goddess who brings on winter; the dark lady holds the souls of the dead in her cold embrace.
Or
One fifteenth century woman might just be the origin of Black Annis. The Dominican nun Agnes Scott was a religious recluse described as a 'hermit of the forest'. Nearby Swithland village church boasts a brass plaque in her memory and a three foot veiled statue of her. Agnes is surmised to have lived in a cave near the Dane Hills, running a leper colony. The connection between her and Black Annis was made by Robert Graves (1895-1985), writer of I Claudius.
Notable Deadly Departed Quote – Dr Richard Gallagher:
‘I know many psychiatrists around the world who believe exactly the way I do… They probably don't have as much experience as I've had because… I get calls from all over the world and I've seen more of these (demonic possession) cases. I'm also a member of an international Catholic association as a scientific advisor, so, you know, I've seen a tremendous amount of these cases. My former academic chairman who is a Catholic, he's retired now, but he wrote that I've seen more of these cases than anybody, any doctor in the world and probably in history.’
Deadly Departed - Evidence for Evil Spirits
Premiered December 15, 2025 - Runtime 1 hr
Deadly Departed Podcast guest Dr Richard Gallagher is a professor of psychiatry, psychoanalyst, Catholic scholar, member and scientific advisor to the International Association of Exorcists since the 1990s, and author of Demonic Foes: My Twenty-Five Years as a Psychiatrist Investigating Possessions, Diabolic Attacks, and the Paranormal. His book deserves a place on the reading list of all mental health study curriculums worldwide.
Key Points: Evidence for Evil Spirits Podcast
Evil spirits: Belief persists worldwide, historically and today, with anecdotal evidence mounting from credible experts and centuries of reports.
Materialism vs. spiritual worldview: Science provides tools for investigation, but some phenomena demand approaches that transcend materialist boundaries.
Discernment is key: Not every evil act is caused by possession; careful investigation and rational analysis prevent over-attribution.
The conversation continues: Empirical research, open-mindedness, and balanced education are vital as we seek to understand anomalous experiences.
Podcast Discussion Highlights
Certain spiritual phenomena resist conventional investigation
Dr. Richard Gallagher and fellow spirit interventionist Jock Brocas advocate remind us that throughout history and across cultures, the belief in evil spirits has been ubiquitous, and most people in the world, even today, hold some belief in malevolent spiritual entities. Gallagher advocates for a careful distinction between overt spiritual and psychiatric conditions, and wisely points out that mainstream science can only go so far because there are realities that transcend materialist paradigms, and certain spiritual phenomena that resist conventional investigation.
He also clarifies that modern psychiatry recognizes “spiritual or religious problems” in classifications like DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) but stops short of identifying demonic possession as a clinical entity, and expresses caution about over-integrating spiritual phenomena within psychiatric models, suggesting that the field must maintain distinction to avoid controversy.
Why videotaping entities often fails and how skeptics keep malevolent spirits happy
(Image: Canva)
Both Jock Brocas and Dr. Richard Gallagher share that firsthand encounters with anomalous phenomena profoundly shape conviction. Gallagher has consulted on dramatic cases where individuals display bizarre phenomena, such as speaking unknown languages or levitating, linked to spiritual attacks. However, he notes that attempts to capture these events on videotape often fail, hinting at the elusive and intelligent nature of these entities.
Notable Deadly Departed Quote: Dr Richard Gallagher
‘What I've also noticed... is that people who try to capture these things on videotape, often the videotape is interfered with. So they'll say, well, Dr. Gallagher, I tried to videotape it. I had it on videotape. But then the videotape disappeared. So, strange as it may sound, we’re not dealing with creatures who can’t interfere with our study of them, number one. So they make it difficult because… on the one hand, they kind of want to attack and display themselves to certain people, but to other people, they are very happy that people are skeptical. So it's a very hard thing to study. And as I say to people, they're not like Hollywood actors that are, you know, eager to perform for the camera. They're just not going to do that…’
Jock Brocas - Why can’t you catch them on video?
‘You know, and it's interesting, I think people need to realize, is that - and I tend to utilize this term spiritual intelligences or nefarious intelligences, as well as demonic, because they're a lot more intelligent than we are. And I've had this argument with many people where they say, well, you know, you can go in and say prayers and cleanse or do this… why can't you catch them on video? ... The reality is, whatever we try to do to circumnavigate in our own field of understanding, they're always going to be able to go beyond what we could even understand, which is why we need spiritual intervention, which is why we need holy intervention into this...’
Dr Richard Gallagher – I have no doubt that evil spirits exist
‘It's a paradoxical truth that on the one hand... demons do show their colors at times... The cases I write about, the possessions, the severe oppressions, even what we call the infestations, those are the main categories of overt demonic attack. But it's interesting, at the same time, they sometimes do that to punish people, to sadistically torture people, etc. At other times, they want to remain hidden. And it's almost like they have a strategy. You pointed out how very intelligent they are. They are, because… what we Catholics believe is they're fallen angels, and angels also are… very high intelligence.
And it’s interesting, if you think about it, because it's also confusing to people. At times they manifest themselves and obviously… if you're attacked by an evil spirit, you tend to know it, even though there are people who are delusional about it. But on the other hand, especially in the modern Western world, which is one of the few areas of the world in world history where people are skeptical of evil spirits, they think, oh, all these people are just, you know, psychotic and stuff. I mean, yes, it's true that... psychotic people can only imagine from their hallucinations that they're being attacked by spirits but… that's precisely why doctors like myself get involved in helping to discern these cases.
But it's interesting at the same time, that you and I have experienced so many anomalous experiences that we have no doubt that these things exist in the afterlife. And I have no doubt that evil spirits exist. On the other hand, to a lot of other people in our modern society, they actually try to hide themselves. It's a tricky balance.’
The Danger of Over-Sensationalizing
The podcast also discusses the topic of seeing demons behind every odd event, critiquing both Hollywood's exaggeration and some religious leaders’ tendency toward over-interpretation. Jock Brocas stresses the importance of maintaining a balanced educational approach, recognizing the necessity for discernment, and not attributing all evil to spiritual entities. Dr. Richard Gallagher agrees, referencing both psychiatric categories and classic theological estimates. For example, Saint Thomas Aquinas suggested only 10% of human evil is directly influenced by spirits.
Brocas and Gallagher concur that not everyone who commits evil is possessed, but many can be influenced by nefarious intelligences. The various forms of attack include oppression, possession, infestation, and sometimes spiritual influence, rather than outright possession, plays a role in the actions of murderers, sociopaths, or even notorious historical figures like Hitler, who is referenced as an example of someone who dabbled in the occult. Yet, both Brocas and Gallagher warn against blaming all evil on spirits, emphasizing human responsibility.
Notable Deadly Departed Quote: Jock Brocas
‘I use the term knowing, rather than believing, that there are evil spirits. It seems that the only way that you would accept it, is if you experience it. And nobody really wants to experience anything like it because it scars you for life. But there's enough evidence throughout history that there is something else that's nefarious that's out there.
And I always say to people, look, we only know evil because good exists. We only know hot because cold exists, and we only know light because dark exists. So why get to the point of denying the potential? The evil is out there. And I know, I've read a lot of papers in psychiatry and even in psychology and transpersonal psychology where they try to label evil as just some kind of mental construct that really isn't evil in its sense, but yet we know that it exists.’
I would like to add that when new legislation is drafted to deal with cult crimes involving potential demonic influences, there should be no such thing as a ‘demon’s defence’ ie: Your Honour, it wasn’t me. A demon made me do it. No different to the so called ‘drunk’s defence’, which should not be permissible. Alcoholics need to seek treatment to overcome their addictions. Perhaps dark occultists who become literal lost souls because they choose to sell their soul, and become so mentally diseased that they are driven to inflict serious harm upon upon others, need to do the same.
Obsession with Possession, Discernment & The Screwtape Letters
The Screwtape Letters. [Fourth Impression.] SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR $US 51,199 (AbeBooks)
As the Deadly Departed podcast draws to a close, Dr. Richard Gallagher reveals plans for a new book that will place demonic phenomena within the broader context of the supernatural and paranormal and agrees with Brocas about the perennial need to bridge science and spirituality, advocating for empirical inquiry alongside rational and faith-based approaches.
Notable Deadly Departed Quote: Jock Brocas
‘I'm not going to mention the book, but there's another book that I read in years past. One of the things that I recognized is that the power of discernment seems to be lacking even, I think, in the Catholic Church and Christianity because there's a danger that you tend to see the demonic everywhere. There's books that I've read that have been written by religious scholars where it was getting to the point that this particular individual would be seeing a demon in a burger… And anybody who hasn't read Demonic Force really should because there is a lot of empirical evidence; anomalous phenomena that's explained from a scientific perspective.
But we also need to keep that education going because there is the problem that people think they're possessed and they're not. And religious pastors, priests tend to also get to the point where they see demons everywhere... Maybe there's a bit more discernment that's needed there.’
Dr Richard Gallagher
‘Well, you know, I actually think, Jock, you're talking more about Christian fundamentalists and Catholics. I mean, you know, I know many Catholic priests.. and most of these priests, they're pretty educated guys… there are a few exceptions, but they're not jumping to seeing demons everywhere... You got to remember Catholic priests do this as a ministry. They don't make money off of it. Once you get people who start to charge for their services, I tell people you should stay away from them. Like the plague...
C.S. Lewis was a very, very educated and knowledgeable Christian, including about the demonic. He had the classic passage from The Screwtape Letters*… which I quote in my book, which is that the demons are very happy when people don't believe in them. Yeah, but they were also happy when people get overly preoccupied and, as you put it, see the devil everywhere or get immersed in, you know, trying to communicate with the devil. He said we have to avoid both extremes. And, you know, Lewis was not a Catholic, but a lot of his beliefs were very, very close to what the Catholic Church teaches.’
Jock Brocas:
‘I think he was ahead of his time, Richard, actually, because I love that book, and if anybody hasn't read it, and you want to understand demonology, definitely The Screwtape Letters. There's a lot of wisdom and there's a lot of knowledge in there.’
Dr Richard Gallagher:
‘Well, you know, it's a paradoxical truth that on the one hand, I mean, demons do show their colors at times. In other words, you know, the cases I write about, the possessions, the severe oppressions, even what we call the infestations, those are the main categories of overt demonic attack. But it's interesting, at the same time, they sometimes do that to... punish people, to sadistically… torture people, etc. At other times, they want to remain hidden, and it's almost like they have a strategy.’
Brocas and Gallagher conclude that ultimately, the mystery persists: the world of evil spirits remains as shadowy and enigmatic as ever, inviting us to ask questions, seek evidence, and stay open to both science and the supernatural.
*The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis (1942) was written in a satirical, epistolary style as a series of 31 letters from a senior demon, Screwtape, to his nephew, Wormwood, and explores the subtle ways demons attempt to lead humans away from God, using psychological manipulation and spiritual deception.
Who believed in magic when they were a child? I did. Even before I learned to read. My first favourite book was Enid Blyton’s Magic Faraway Tree and I couldn’t put it down because it filled me with joy and wonder. I was also blessed to have scant awareness of ‘evil spirits’ and so called ‘dark forces’ and even avoided our illustrated children’s bible because the scary images freaked me out too much. I had a similar experience much later in life when I connected with Jock Brocas and began writing and editing articles for his Afterlife Magazine, but it took me awhile to warm to his Paranormal Daily News publication primarily because of the predominantly dark imagery that accompanied most of the articles. I was the ultimate scaredy cat.
That was around 2016 but my timely, parallel shamanic healing art and energy medicine studies gradually helped me create a more balanced perspective about the ‘dark side’. I also learned that healing our wounds and traumas serves to strengthen, expand and protect our innate light and frequency, so much so that the lower, pesky, daemonic entities don’t have a hope in hell of getting anywhere near us no matter how hard they may try. Only then was I able to start editing PDN articles and contributing a few of my own. And ironically, my subsequent and unexpected research travels into horrific hidden realms of the death/blood cult world, served to dissolve all of my fears.
The parallel death/blood cult world has existed for thousands of years but has largely remained conveniently out of sight because historically, the majority of men and women the world over, never allowed the horrific sex and sacrifice rituals involving babies and children to be ‘normalized’. And nor should they be. That said, the word cult has also been extremely muddied and misconstrued in the western world in particularly, probably because of the socially engineered mass ignorance about the occult in general. For the record:
(Etymonline)
Abundant eyewitness evidence for evil spirits
Given that the overarching theme of this article revolves around ‘evidence for evil spirits’, sensitive readers may find the following revelations extremely disturbing. But the wider community must be made aware of the fact that millions of babies and children are suffering beyond belief on our planet, 24/7, and that the government enabled child/human trafficking ‘industry’ is now alleged to being the trillions, rather than billions. Only then will we be able to link arms and demand full exposure, change and legislation to stop these and other horrific death cult crimes from continuing.
When generational cult survivor testimonials began to cross my path in 2020, I was horrified to my core by the amount of child sacrifice that goes on in the names of Moloch, Satan, Lucifer and other dark entities that I previously thought were mere myths; the violent ‘sex majik’ rituals involving babies and children that allegedly enable their equally violated abusers to access portals and supernatural powers; the male sorcerers who believe they can access other dimensions of galaxies and commune with ‘older and stronger entities than god’ through sex with young boys.
Former Freemason turned educator Dr Selwyn Stevens will tell you that Freemasons make energetic connections with dark entities when they take their oaths, and dark entities 'attach' to the energetic signature/DNA of the host via the chakra portal which the oath relates to. This is how curse energy can be passed down through generations within families. Ex freemason Dr. William (Bill) Schnoebelen will tell you about the little known masonic ‘Royal Secret’ belief that you can live forever by sexually vampirising children; and when he swore his oath to Satan and signed his name in blood, he was obligated to finding seven people to sell their souls to the devil, sort of like multi-level marketing, but for the devil.
Masonic abuse survivor and award winning investigative journalist Phoenix Caspian mirrors the growing ‘ponzi scheme’ claims of other masonic whistleblowers: “Most Freemasons think they are being given occult knowledge and power. In fact, they are being initiated into a giant ponzi scheme. In return for providing the 'higher' Freemasons with 'kompromat' (self-incriminating blackmail material) the initiate is advanced up the 'degrees' of the Freemasonic hierarchy. As a Freemason attains more 'power' they are installed in 'higher' positions of authority by those at the top of the ranks... It is for this reason that many court judges, politicians, business 'leaders', and police officers are Freemasons.” (The Cloud Pyramids)
Innocent children should not be forced to witness the reality of evil spirits
After many hours of listening to cult survivor testimonials, and reading comprehensive military intelligence reports, books and articles penned by esoteric/metaphysical scholars, researchers and cult whistleblowers, I developed a sense of deep empathy for anyone trapped in the chronically sad death cult realm. I am also of the view that no child should born into such extreme and traumatizing darkness where witnessing children and animals being murdered and evil spirits manifesting in front of them in frenzied rituals, becomes their ‘normal’. No child should be so brutally deprived of their sacred innocence; of ever experiencing the wonders of childhood - the joy, love, laughter, fun and adventure.
Equally concerning is the danger that generational cult children pose to themselves and others as adults if there is no intervention. Tragically, deliberately breaking the mother-child bond at birth is key to controlling generational cult children - and all children - well into adulthood, and many children die at the hands of cult predators in ‘privileged’ aristocratic bloodlines, some of whom are so psychopathic that they ‘kill for fun.’ And get away with it. Then there are the men and women who are recruited into the various cult groups and don’t understand what they are getting themselves into until it’s too late. Another reason why basic occult and cult awareness and education is so important, especially during these crazy times when a minority of generational cult bloodlines that have lost their way so severely, are desperately trying to force the general population into accepting their horrifically wicked practices and subjecting all children to submit to extreme practices that inflict extreme trauma and suffering.
More recently, I received first hand information about an illuminati-driven baby/child murder and ‘soul stealing’ crisis in Adelaide, South Australia, during a brief online interaction with a woman who is a survivor of the illuminati’s cruel and damaging Monarch program. She made a public plea to the Police Commissioner to intervene because things were so out of control. Our comments were swiftly deleted but I found out more about her via her seemingly crazy podcast. The conveniently hidden horror show she speaks of appears to be largely driven by mentally diseased death cult diehards, illicit drugs and frenzied cult rituals that turn into murderfests and violent cannibalism of babies and young children. Adults are also killed and eaten during ‘spirit cooking rituals, and there is also no shortage of testimonials about evil entities manifesting in our earthly realm from the fourth dimension during rituals.
The CIA & Project Monarch Report
Author Ron Patton encapsulates the Monarch Project in his comprehensive Monarch Report - Full History, which all moral legislators and law enforcement men and women should read:
'... A form of structured dissociation and occultic integration, in order to compartmentalize the mind into multiple personalities within a systematic framework. During this process, a Satanic ritual, usually including Cabalistic mysticism, is performed with the purpose of attaching a particular demon or group of demons to the corresponding alter(s). Of course, most skeptics would view this as simply a means to enhance trauma within the victim. negating any irrational belief that demonic possession actually occurs.'
Another common thread I discovered in my dark occult travels was a cult dependency on instructions and rituals from old books written by prominent, long dead occultists whose heavy hearts and minds were filled with old beliefs and uncontrollable addictions to violent sexual and sacrificial blood rituals. Some cult bloodlines have family members who are so far gone that they can’t live without daily blood baths. Then there is the belief that ingesting ‘young blood’ known as adrenochrome will keep you young and many people with money to burn are severely addicted. The lucrative adrenochrome ‘young blood’ black market is also booming, with elitist addicts from a broad range of professions having no regard for the extreme suffering of babies and children that provide them with their vanity drug. Withdrawal is allegedly worse than heroin.
Death/Blood Cult definitions
One of the most succinct definitions of the death/blood cult that I came across in my research travels was provided in a newsletter written by GAB CEO Andrew Torba:
At its core, this ideology venerates death. It champions the right to end innocent life in the womb, rebranding the slaughter of the unborn as “healthcare” and a sacred right. It encourages the chemical and surgical mutilation of healthy young bodies, a grotesque parody of medicine that severs the individual from their own biological reality. It pushes policies that dissolve the fundamental bonds of family and community, leaving isolated, atomized individuals adrift in a meaningless sea of consumer choices and state dependency.’
Another astute death cult educator and survivor is Max Lowen, whose latest article poses a wise question: Epstein Disclosure: How do we move forward? Lowen was sex trafficked through elitist circles and major institutions as a child, witnessed terrifying entities manifest at VIP rituals involving child rape and murder that still haunt her today, and eventually found her way out of the darkness and onto her healing path. She is now a trauma counsellor, podcaster, writer and contributor to various health and healing forums including the World Council for Health (1)
Writes Max Lowen: ‘The sacrifice of children is nothing new. In ancient cultures babies were sacrificed to Moloch by being burnt alive as offerings. This cult ritual simply went underground in more modern times, literally under the ground at the Vatican, under the UN and other global organizations, in DUMBS, tunnels and other locations. I myself witnessed these sacrifices in the subterranean levels of the Vatican and at Elite events. The sacrifice of children also occurs above ground via the medical-pharmaceutical companies through vaccines, medications and transgender surgeries.’
With regard to Lowen’s question of how do we move forward, I would recommend the establishment of a global Truth and Restorative Justice Commission to assist cult survivors and victims of cult crimes be heard, acknowledged and compensated for decades of government and law enforcement negligence, and their perpetrators investigated and dealt with. Only then will they be able to focus on their healing journey and creating the life that they wish to live that is free from cult harassment and revenge attacks. Government run inquiries tend to provide recommendations for reform, but more often than not, they are not acted upon. Time for a new and independent strategy.
‘Dark to Light’ Translates to ‘Satan to Lucifer’
After five years of researching the many facets of this parallel death/blood cult world, I have concluded that power, politics, wealth and frenzied, bloodied, dark occult rituals have become far more intertwined than they should be, and the current state of mentally diseased play at the highest levels is detrimental to the mental and spiritual health of the world at large. This includes both innocent, unaware people and practicing dark occultists who are commonly known as sorcerers, queen mothers of darkness, warlocks, witches, high priestesses and various other labels. I have also concluded that the seemingly ‘privileged’ luciferian and satanic bloodlines are behaving like arrogant, power-abusing racketeers and can’t realistically expect the world to comply with their brazen attempts to the normalize demonic worshipping which includes adult sex with children and child sacrifice. And in their world, Dark to Light translates to Satan to Lucifer.
Should you be interested in learning more, I highly recommend this video essay by author, religious scholar and broadcaster Charles Swindoll Jr – Lucifer and the Luciferians: Masters of Deception.
Writes Chuck Swindoll Jr:
‘Luciferians have run the world since organized human history began. They have been steering and shaping the planetary cultural vector since long before the United States, Rome, or even the Egyptians. The cult goes way back. It is also known as ‘The Old Religion’.
They have maintained direct contact with a fourth dimensional being known as Lucifer for thousands of years. Luciferians communicate directly with Lucifer through the ritual practice of child sacrifice. This practice to evoke and convene with Leviathan originated in the cult of Baal. Baal is just a name for Leviathan or Lucifer or Moloch, which all reference the same energy - the cult of Baal... the ancient precursor to luciferianism which I personally consider to be simply a formalized and highly organized cult of Baal...’
‘Luciferianism is both a religion and a bloodline. Satanism is a lower echelon of luciferianism for those outside the bloodline, and wealth prerequisites to qualify as a true luciferian. Money can buy you into the luciferian cult but only bloodline accesses leadership. The highest ranks in the luciferian cult are not voted in, they are bestowed rank through female genetic lineage carefully steered by the cult through select breeding within the blue blood family lines like a king's executive rulership is stowed to his firstborn son.
Luciferians involve thirteen bloodline families plus one hidden royal bloodline, instead of just one family ruling like an imperial kingly monarchy. Luciferians have many at the top so it's a bit more complicated and integrates many more ranking members. There is much disagreement and infighting and personal agenda between the families but they all follow a singular agenda and that is to control and rule the planet.’
Names are changed in luciferianism to hide the true identities of the individuals, or virtually every name in US Congress would be one of those 14 families and it would be obvious a coup has been pilfering the USA since its inception.
Wise Advice for Aspiring Dark Occultists
To conclude this part of my article, here is a timely quote from Leo Zagami’s comprehensive and insightful book Invisible Master - The Puppeteers Hidden Power. Zagami was born into a ‘black nobility’, masonic, illuminati bloodline and became hugely unpopular when he decided to blow the whistle on all the corruption and other criminal cult shenanigans that were going on behind the scenes, at great personal cost. This memorable revelation sums up what often happens to the majority of practicing occultists in the long term, so please keep this in mind if you decide to exercise your free will choice and dive head first into the dark side:
Writes Leo Zagami:
‘Aleister Crowley’s teachings influence members through initiation rituals for various degrees of his order, the Ordo Templi Orientis, and other sects. They are believed to gradually and consciously distort the chakra energy, polluting them so badly and sometimes irreversibly, to facilitate the demonic control of their minions.
Unfortunately, they think they are elevating themselves to new levels of consciousness, but they are actually doing the exact opposite, falling most of the time into the abyss that Crowley described as the last impediment before illumination. The risk of being overwhelmed by the abyss is high, even for a high level Initiate, as Crowley pointed out. Hence the famous admonition of Crowley, ‘Babe of the Abyss’ which appeared in his famous work called The Book of Lies, published in 1913…of being literally vampirized by interdimensional alien entities, something that happens to the majority of practicing occultists.’
Are spiritually ignorant mental health professionals detrimental to clients?
‘There are non-material realities that are impossible to adjudicate by what we now know as the modern scientific method.’ Dr Richard Gallagher
This article was originally inspired by PDN Editor-in-Chief Jock Brocas’s Deadly Departed podcast with Professor of Psychiatry Dr Richard Gallagher. Their compelling, multi-faceted discussion about evidence of evil spirits captured my interest because of a ‘near-death experience’ in my late 20s, caused by a spiritually ignorant and extremely dismissive psychiatrist. I was traumatized by a debilitating assault perpetrated by white collar criminals whilst working in Adelaide’s frenetic media industry, which coincided with my spontaneous and wondrous spiritual awakening (of sorts) that sadly descended into something akin to a ‘crazy’ spiritual crisis. I suffered more damage and distress at the hands of this psychiatrist who completely overlooked my spiritual confusion and also the heinous crimes that were committed against me.
Her knowledge and experience with mental health imbalances and disturbances were severely limited to textbook diagnostics and treatment with antipsychotic drugs. Within weeks, her ‘treatment plan’ almost culminated in my untimely death from a drug overdose, despite having zero suicidal thoughts prior to seeing her. When I told her that her deadly drugs nearly caused me to kill myself, she refused to listen, dismissed my warranted distress and told me that I was ‘highly creative’ and needed lithium. I could not believe what I was hearing and furiously told her to stick her drugs and that I was done with her shocking abuse. I walked out and never saw her again. My mother flushed the remaining deadly pills down the tra-la-la, and I eventually recovered enough to pack my bags and limp out of town. Several years later, I was informed that the psychiatrist suffered a nervous breakdown soon after our sessions ended. In hindsight, it was a dark time for us both, and she did me a huge favor by scaring me away from Australia’s mainstream mental illness system for life.
I don’t blame her for not having any idea about things like ‘spiritual crises,’ ‘psychic attacks,’ and even ‘demonic attacks’ because the Australian mental health curriculum simply didn’t ‘go there’ and probably still doesn’t, which is not only blinkered, but dangerous and backward. While I’m sure there is a place for anti-psychotic medication in certain cases, these days we seem to have an over-prescribing crisis where pill-profits and willful ignorance of the reality of spiritual imbalances, disturbances and crises override the primary goal of mental health practitioners - to help clients regain a balanced mental state and their life. Instead, suffering is often made even worse by the ongoing medication dependency, dysfunction and inevitable poverty which places even more pressure on the buckling welfare system.
Needless to say, listening to the Deadly Departed discussion about evidence of evil spirits with Jock Brocas and Dr Richard Gallagher, was divine music to my ears. Gallagher is also a psychoanalyst, Catholic scholar, member and scientific advisor to the International Association of Exorcists since the 1990s, and author of Demonic Foes: My Twenty-Five Years as a Psychiatrist Investigating Possessions, Diabolic Attacks, and the Paranormal. Hisbook deserves a place on the reading list of all mental health study curriculums worldwide. And if the psychiatrist that I saw for those few dark months in early 1990 is still alive, she needs to read it too. As do her peers.
Deadly Departed Podcast: The Evidence for Evil Spirits

Deadly Departed Podcast Quote – Dr Richard Gallagher:
‘I believe that what I write about is genuine knowledge. It's just that it doesn't fit the paradigm, if you will, of being able to do scientific experiments. In other words... when you're dealing with... evil spirits, you're dealing with creatures that want to confuse people and want to hide people. They're not going to be able to be subject for experimentation in a modern scientific sense. They also are perfectly capable of interfering with the study of them.’
Brocas and Gallagher explore one of humanity’s most enduring questions: Are evil spirits real, or simply the stuff of stories and superstition? Despite the expected level of skepticism in scientific and medical circles, it’s heartening to learn that a significant number of mental health professionals do believe in the existence of evil spirits. But are they adequately equipped with the knowledge and understanding they need to effectively address potential spiritual imbalances or interferences? If more mainstream professionals collaborated with experienced, competent spiritual interventionists to help them determine the root cause of ‘mysterious’ or ‘bizarre’ mental and emotional issues, they are bound to assist more clients return to a balanced state of health and wellbeing; a healthier outcome for the practitioner and client alike.
Evidence for Evil Spirits Podcast Key Points
Evil spirits: Belief persists worldwide, historically and today, with anecdotal evidence mounting from credible experts and centuries of reports.
Materialism vs. spiritual worldview: Science provides tools for investigation, but some phenomena demand approaches that transcend materialist boundaries.
Discernment is key: Not every evil act is caused by possession; careful investigation and rational analysis prevent over-attribution.
The conversation continues: Empirical research, open-mindedness, and balanced education are vital as we seek to understand anomalous experiences.
Part 2 of Deadly Departed: Evidence for Evil Spirits includes notable transcript highlights.
*The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis (1942) was written in a satirical, epistolary style as a series of 31 letters from a senior demon, Screwtape, to his nephew, Wormwood, and explores the subtle ways demons attempt to lead humans away from God, using psychological manipulation and spiritual deception.
