How Could Anyone Believe this "stuff"?
This Book
Being I have studied in this field for 22 years, I do not see these events feasible to actually had taken place. On a mortal episode, this would make ambrosial fiction.
Hard to Believe
When I started reading this book I was disappointed because I did not care for the writing style. It seemed very basic and amature. But I kept reading because I was curious and must admit that the story kept me interested. I tried to keep an open mind throughout and thought that maybe it could have been possible that these things really happened to this family. The part that blew it for me was towards the end when it just became too unbelievable. I wont say when as I dont want to give away the story for those who wish to read this. All in all I am disappointed because I find it so hard to believe.

So I started this book initially thinking that however badly written, these people had a true story to tell about experiencing demons. WRONG.
After having to skip pages of boring details of how entities in Ms. Jones' home were throwing her mother-in-law around, torturing her kids and after the 1000th episode her and her husband were still hesitant to contact anyone for help, I managed to make it to the end of the book.
Here is where just mundane details became "Yeah, give me a break" type details. For instance. A large black car goes around mowing down several friends and family members and then at the end of the book, appears at her son's friend's grave and tries to mow the author and her son down. Then some sort of heavenly light explosion occurs and the car veering toward them at 1000 miles an hour explodes into the universe... O.k....
Also at the end of the book she holds a seance for her son. At the seance she sort of casually mentions she encounters the ghost of her grandfather AND her son's dead friend (another victim of the demon car) and she has an extremeley lengthy conversation with both of them. They tell her her son is like a conduit for Satan and God.got the impression that the whole fate of the universe rests on this battle within her son.I
One more thing. After having all these demon cars and angels and things flying around the house, beds floating around,on and on, there is like not one single piece of evidence in existance that shows any of this.
If you swallow all of this, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
Lastly I would like to say I believe in the afterlife, but people like this make it really hard to keep the faith....
