THE DEMONOLOGIST

In 2007 The Devil In Connecticut became the target of a complex fraud scheme by individuals who are now under investigation by state and federal authorities. Typical of these cases, false accusations were put forth in a quest for money. As an unfortunate consequence, the book has had to be temporarily stayed from print. An abundant number of copies nevertheless remain on the market and can be obtained from a variety of internet booksellers.

The actual case occurred in 1980-1981 and commanded the attention of six Roman Catholic priests from the Diocese of Bridgeport, and ultimately required a series of exorcism procedures that took place in both the United States and Canada. Published by Bantam Books in 1983, The Devil In Connecticut is a meticulous reconstruction of that case, which occurred in and around the town of Brookfield, Connecticut, a hamlet located in upper Fairfield County.

When the ‘Brookfield Possession Case’ became public, it was front-page news around the world for over six months, and was covered by every major media outlet on earth, from the BBC to the NY TImes. Hence facts of this case exist as a matter of public record, bolstered furthermore by specific documentation taken from private records and eyewitness testimony by those individuals who were on-the-scene at the time these extraordinary events occurred. Readers can thus remain assured that every sentence in this book is true, and its depiction is valid and without conjecture. More important still, the spirit reported in this book remains active. This entity is many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years old, and what happened thirty years ago in this case has now begun to happen to others again. Skeptics will snicker, but for everyone else the word "Beware!" still very much applies. For, in truth, the grim reality is this: The Devil in Connecticut has never gone away.
