Listen to the podcast “You’re wrong about” .

This podcast has a 5 part series that throughly examines what was happening in our society at this time that led people to believe this was true. (It wasn’t.)

excellent book - highly recommended

This book took tremendous courage to write. Its facts were verified by the publisher. It has been attacked by those that have defended accused child molesters. from the book : verification of the accuracy of the book "Michelle Remembers"by Michelle Smith and Lawrence Pazder, MD from the book "A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER" pages xi - xiii" "Dr. Pazder's credentials are impressive. He obtained his M.D. from the University of Alberta in 1961; his diploma in tropical medicine from the University Liverpool in 1962; and in 1968, his specialist certificate in psychiatry and his diploma in psychological medicine from McGill University. In 1971, he was made a fellow of Canada's Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is a member of three Canadian professional associations and of the American Psychiatric Association as well. He practiced medicine in West Africa and has participated in medical task forces and health organizations. He has been chairman of the Mental Health Committee of the Health Planning Council for British Columbia. A member of the staff of two hospitals in Victoria, British Columbia-the Royal Jubilee and the Victoria General-he is in private practice with a group of five psychiatrists. His professional papers include a study of the long-term effects of stress upon concentration-camp victims. Two experienced interviewers journeyed to Victoria and talked to Dr. Pazder's colleagues, to the priests and the bishop who became involved in the case, to doctors who treated Michelle Smith when she was a child, to relatives and friends. From local newspaper, clergy, and police sources they learned that reports of Satanism in Victoria are not infrequent and that Satanism has apparently existed there for many years. Satanism in Western Canada flourished in many areas with activities far more ominous than some of the innocuous groups now found in parts of the United States who claim some connection with Satanism. The source material was scrutinized. The many thousands of pages of transcript of the tape recordings that Dr. Pazder and Michelle Smith made of their psychiatric sessions were read and digested; they became the basis of this book. The tapes themselves were listened to in good measure, and the videotapes made of some of his sessions were viewed. Both the audio and video are powerfully convincing. It is nearly unthinkable that the protracted agony they record could have been fabricated."

I feel very disturbed after reading this book!

First of all; I was under the impression that it was in fact a true story. If it wasn't; then what was the point? I would love to talk to Ms. Smith in person because I am sure she is a remarkable person. I would be very hard pressed to know that it was made up because once again; what's the point? Is it so hard for people to believe that Satan is a real threat to anyone? Least of all innocent children? Maybe those that doubt the story to be true;should re-read the last few chapters when all the filth pours from his mouth. It took not only a truely poetic mind to come up with these words but also a very cleaver one. I am not at all a naive person. I also feel due to the graffic nature to which the poor child was treated;wasn't it a little over-kill if it were meant to be fake? Makes you think.

I HAVE NO DOUBTS ON THE TRUTH

Let me say that i have been to the house that this allegdly took place at and let me tell you that i have not seen anything as disturbing as this. The book is one of the most terrifying things i have ever read. I cannot believe that people who think that this is untrue can keep a straight face while saying it. Everyone knows that Victoria B.C. is itself , one of the most satanic bound places in the world. This is something that should not be IGNORED!!!!

A Terrifying true story that will keep you reading

This story is about a girl who goes through a time of pain and suffering because her mother called the devil to poses her and use her body as a sanctuary as time goes on it becomes harder to escapr the torture. This novel will keep you reading and awake on those nights when no one is around and everything seems to be alive watching you.

Opens Doors!!!

This book opened doors for people to feel free to talk about their abuse!!!! Michelle should be commended for the courage to speak out!!!
