When I was a kid, reading the books, seeing the movie The Exorcist, and then realizing that it was based on a true story of a little boy, about my age, I started to believe that these things are real.Ĭould you please do a little pitch about the book you wrote and what are the differences between the book and the screenplay? I didn’t want to have anything to do with it for quite some time and it wasn’t until I was about twenty-eight, twenty-nine, that I decided I wanted to get involved in this field and I don’t know why, it just happened that way. I read horror stories, military stories and cop stories, and over the years I kept reading about the Warrens and eventually, when I got old enough I began to realize that these things were real. I never had an experience, a single experience, I studied and I read when I was a kid, from the age of twelve, and I just kept reading. It was back in 1990 when I started to work actually with the Warrens, their new movie (The Conjuring) just came out, I worked with them til about I would say 1995, 96 and I basically went out on my own.Ĭan you talk about the first experience that you had that made you believe that there are paranormal activities? When did you kind of first get involved with demonology? I try and separate myself from what I am seeing, I can just concentrate on the Police consulting that I am basically here for.


It is exciting, but I tell you, I have a job to do basically and that’s what I concentrate on. So what is it like coming every day on set and watching the elements of life unfold? We talk to Sarchie about his unconventional career and what it’s like to have Eric Bana play him in a movie. He left the force to become a full time Demonologist and his novel, Beware the Night is the inspiration the movie Deliver Us From Evil, starring Eric Bana.


Ralph Sarchie spent 18 years in the NYPD.
