Hotel Horror

Friday, Oct 3, 2014 For a moment I thought I had checked into Hotel California, you know, the Eagles’ haunt where you can “check out but you can never leave.” (Cue an old Vincent Price laugh.) I was setting up for my seminar — yes, I really was in a hotel in California — last …

Halloween Demons

Thursday, Oct 2, 2014 It’s that season again when all that’s negative, macabre, sinister, and downright evil becomes legitimized. And commercialized.

Schizophrenia and Demons

Wednesday, Sept 24, 2014 Let’s start by being clear.  There are some things schizophrenia is not. It isn’t a “split personality,” Jekyll-Hyde style. That’s a misconception. So-called split personalities are actually more like Dissociative Identity Disorder, multiple personalities in common parlance.

Defending Deliverance!

Tuesday, Sept 23, 2014   Google “exorcism photos” and the above is mostly what you’ll get; bizarre and stereotypical images of casting out demons.
