Okay, we are live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show. I have a very special guest. He's just published a book. Full title of the book you published in May 2024 is Slaves of Satan, a Catholic study of perfect possession, diabolical subjugation, and the enemies of Jesus Christ, and his name is Patrick R. Bell, last spelled B-E-L-L-L and this might be

pretty heavy topic and subject matter so I would recommend if you're kind of sensitive to this

kind of demon I mean literally we're going to talk about demonology and things like that if

you're sensitive to that and also child abuse and sexual abuse topics, this is not the show for you.

And I would not have any young kids in the background while we talk about this very kind of dark subject matter, but also important subject matter.

But we'll get right to it.

So Patrick R. Bell, welcome to the show.

Thank you very much, William. Appreciate it.

Excellent. So for people who may not have heard of your book or may not have heard your name,

maybe you can talk about your background, what got you interested in the subject matter.

I know you did a lot of research and some of the names are familiar maybe to my audience malachi martin but maybe you can

talk about kind of the research you had to cover to put together slays of Satan yeah sure no

problem so my background i was raised catholic um and then uh i i would you know around 14, I kind of fell away from the faith. And I got into, you know, a really bad group of friends and got into a lot of trouble, a lot of trouble with drugs, stuff like that, which actually led to me actually going to prison for drugs.

And that was in, let's see, that was in 2006.

So while I was in prison, I had a very disturbing and scary encounter with another inmate in there who,

you know, I now believe that that person was possessed, perfectly possessed.

And so, you know, I had an encounter with him where his eyes, you know, actually turned black.

And it's kind of extraordinary because there's stories in my, that I write about in my book, about people, other people with, you know, like Ted Bundy.

So that's just one example.

Andrew Pixley. Those are two guys who, you know, people said, would say that, you know, their eyes would literally turn black. So I had this encounter, you know, with this inmate and it just scared the absolute, you know, crap out of me. So much that I went running back to the faith, you know, and I had another experience too when I got out.

And so that is what led me back to the Catholic faith, you know, that I was raised in. And that is what led me to start, start you know to study demonology because I had these

experiences and I wanted to know more about them I wanted to know what had happened to me
