I've written in the past about the rise of interest in the occult and the correlative rise in exorcism requests. Author John Harker goes into this in more detail in his new book,
Evil Unleashed: True Tales of Spells Gone to Hell and Other Occult Disasters. The ugly, horrifying consequences of participating in the occult are showcased in twelve fascinating chapters, with plenty of interesting and thought-provoking bits of advice sprinkled throughout from experts in the paranormal field. (Some Catholic, some not, but all worth considering.) John is an acquaintance of mine, and I’m happy to help him out by giving his book a plug here. If you know of anyone who’s in danger of getting entangled in the occult, or if you’re in the mood for a spooky-good read yourself, pick up a copy and share. The more you know about the enemy, the more you can arm yourself against it.

John has also written extensively about the Ouija board, which Catholic demonologist Ed Warren once called "a notorious passkey to terror" and which is responsible for a large percentage of exorcism cases, according to American exorcist Fr. Thomas Euteneurer. To learn more, check out
Ouija Board Nightmares and
Ouija Board Nightmares 2, John's latest.
