American leading psychiatrist: demonic possession is real

Real existence of the people with demonic possession was announced by Professor Dr. Richard Gallagher of clinical psychiatry at New York Medical College who has worked in this field for over two decades. It is reported by ChristianHeadlines.com

Gallagher has seen over one hundred people who appeared to have paranormal abilities. He deemed that most of these individuals suffered from mental illness. Still, he claims to have also seen the real thing. 

"For the past two-and-a-half decades and over several hundred consultations, I've helped clergy from multiple denominations and faiths to filter episodes of mental illness - which represent the overwhelming majority of cases – from, literally, the devil's work," Gallagher said. 

According to Gallagher, demonic possessions could even be on the rise. 

"The Vatican does not track global or countrywide exorcism, but in my experience and according to the priests I meet, the demand is rising," he said. 

"The United States is home to about 50 'stable' exorcists - those who have been designated by bishops to combat demonic activity on a semi-regular basis - up from just 12 a decade ago.” 

As a doctor, Gallagher said he believes it would be wrong to reject the possibility that demonic attacks were real. 

"As a psychoanalyst, a blanket rejection of the possibility of demonic attacks seems less logical, and often wishful in nature, than a careful appraisal of the facts,” he said.
