Art Bell welcomes NYPD Sergeant Ralph Sarchie, a 16-year veteran working the South Bronx who is also an experienced demonologist and close confidant of the late Father Malachi Martin. Sarchie shares his firsthand account of visiting Ground Zero, describing the overwhelming devastation and the unprecedented outpouring of support from New Yorkers toward police and rescue workers.
The conversation shifts to Sarchie's work investigating demonic cases alongside Bishop Robert McKenna. He outlines the three stages of diabolical activity, from infestation through oppression to full possession, and describes a harrowing three-day exorcism of a woman harboring an extraordinarily powerful demon. Sarchie recounts seeing pure hatred in the possessed woman's eyes when he held a relic of the true cross near her, a look unlike anything encountered in years of police work.
Sarchie discusses the shadow people phenomenon, confirming it aligns with demonic manifestation in cases he has investigated. He notes an alarming increase in possession cases nationwide, with new exorcists being trained across multiple dioceses. He also reveals that photographs taken at Ground Zero by fellow officers contain unexplained spirit energy, which he interprets as the confused souls of those who perished in the attacks.
