Cults That Kill: Probing the Underworld of Occult Crime

Cults That Kill: Probing the Underworld of Occult Crime

In the Midwest, an epidemic of animal mutilations leaves hundreds of cattle and horses dismembered with frighteningly surgical skillâ€¦in Michigan, a fifteen-year-old boy shoots his older brother in the head at pointblank range and kills himâ€¦in California, young children in day-care centers tell stories of prayers to Satan, animal and human sacrifices, and ritualized sexual abuse.

In all three cases-and countless similar ones-the evidence gathered by authorities points to a frightening new criminal element threatening the peace and safety of us all. Itâ€™s the world of occult crime, and itâ€™s the most discussed issue in law enforcement today.

A hidden society is thriving in America. Though the vast majority of people involved with occult groups are citizens merely exercising their First Amendment rights, law enforcement officials now believe that a number of these underground cults are responsible for a growing number of horrifying, violent crimes. Stories of child abuse are reports of grave stories of child abuse are reports of grave robberies, torture, and arsonâ€¦all stained by the signs and symbols of the occult. There is also evidence of nationwide connections between black magic groups and drug and pornography rings.

Against this growing criminal problem stands a small army of dedicated police investigators affectionately known as â€œcult copsâ€ or â€œghostbustersâ€ by their peers. Piercing a once impenetrable veil of secrecy, this book details the phenomenon in crime through the eyes and with the voices of those trained to stop it. Much like drug crimes in the 1960s, computer crimes in the 70s, and terrorism in the 80s, occult crime is fresh territory, and at least as far-reaching as any criminal trend that has gone before it.

Besides the actual words of the cult cops themselves, youâ€™ll also hear testimony by medical and psychiatric experts, practitioners of white and black arts, victims, and others. Youâ€™ll go to crime scenes, see police records and confiscated evidence, and witness the secret ceremonies themselves. Youâ€™ll learn what the experts have to say about the different occult groups in America today-who they are. Where they worship, and how the local communities and law enforcement officials try to deal with their activities.

Where will the future battle lines be drawn? No one knows for sure, but one fact is clear. More occult crime is reported every day. And the police and â€“ and the public â€“ have a long way to go before occult crime is stopped.
