Patrick Ryan Bell was born and raised in West Bend, WI. From the very earliest age Patrick was fascinated by the supernatural and all things mysterious. He was raised in the Catholic faith and all the stories about the Devil, Diabolical Possession, Miracles, and Ghosts that are part of Catholic history greatly interested him. From age 7 Patrick started reading books about Ghosts, Haunted Houses, The Devil, Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, The Bermuda Triangle, Ancient Egyptian Curses and Miraculous Phenomena. His studies continued until age 14 when he got involved in the wrong crowd in High School and started using drugs. When Patrick was 23 years old, he had an amazing, miraculous and intense conversion experience when he saw a diabolic apparition and subsequently had an encounter with a possessed person. This experience terrified Patrick and changed the entire course of his life. From that day on Patrick devoted himself to the study of religious demonology, angelology, possession and exorcism to try and come to an understanding of what happened to him and what he saw.

Patrick began work on the current volume in 2015 and spent many years researching and writing the book before you. Patrick has been studying demonology and all related subjects for over 20 years now and is an expert in demonology, the Devil, and diabolical phenomena. Patrick is currently doing research on and working on two additional books. Patrick plans on finishing his degree at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and eventually wants to start work on advanced degrees in psychology and Catholic theology. Patrick currently lives in Wisconsin, on the shores of Lake Michigan with his two beautiful daughters.
