Same thing with the board: The more times you pull the trigger, the more likely that on the next shot, your entire world will go black. When you put the gun to your head, if you don’t hear a loud noise, you made it. “I can hear some of you out there saying, ‘Hey, I used a Ouija board and nothing happened.’ Consider yourself lucky, then. “There ought to be a law against these evil, occult `toys,'” writes Sgt. The problem: demons often masquerade as the deceased, and Ouija boards can lead to possession. One is the danger of the occult, including “innocent” games like the Ouija board (whereby those playing contact the “dead”). All of this has taught him a lot about the devil, and he has lessons to give us. That cause is the devil, and Sarchie– who works in 46th Precinct in the South Bronx, which is so dangerous it’s nicknamed “The Alamo” - has investigated witches, confronted satanists, and assisted at twenty exorcisms, some exhibiting extraordinary phenomena. I just read his book, Beware the Night, and while it’s secular and not for the squeamish, it’s the account of a courageous, dedicated man trying to stop not just the overt manifestations of evil - not just crime - but its root cause. He’s a cop - a sergeant - but also an expert on demonology. A few weeks ago a minister and his family were killed in the Midwest by a tree that fell onto their car as they were driving through a woods in calm weather, and that same week the heavy wrought-iron gate of a church slipped off its track in San Francisco and crushed a priest to death.Īt the center of the storm, in New York City, there is Ralph Sarchie. We are seeing dissension. We are seeing freak accidents. It’s not just in the smoke from the World Trade Center. I t’s not something we like to write about - the demonic - but it’s something that has to be addressed in these times when it is wreaking havoc.
