Episode 291 - Ralph Sarchie - The True Story of an Exorcist

Two Girls One Ghost

NYPD Sergeant by Day, Exorcist by Night. Ralph Sarchie is the real life inspiration behind the film Deliver Us From Evil – adapted from Ralph’s book Beware the Night.
Ralph Sarchie born in New York City on June 14, 1962. At just ten months old, Ralphie contracted a severe illness that nearly took his life. He miraculously survived and he entire family thought it was divine intervention, that young Ralphie was saved, by God... because he had a larger purpose on this Earth. To save people... to deliver them... from EVIL.
Ralph turned to religion sometime in 1990 and found the book Satan's Harvest, a book about a case of demonic possession that Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated. By the end of it, his life path had changed and he decided to commit himself to performing God’s Work.... and become a demonologist.
Ralph continued to work his day job as a cop in South Bronx, but on his own time, he began to consult and befriend Father Martin. Father Martin became his mentor and it was with Father Martin that Ralphie participated in over 20 exorcisms...
From the Exorcism of the Villanova Family on a horrifying Halloween Night, to bringing something dark home with him, Ralph has had a tremendous impact on the paranormal world. Not without criticism though...
