Meet the cop who busted scumbags by day � and Satan by night.The new horror film �Deliver Us From Evil,� due in theaters July 2, is based on the accounts of a real NYPD sergeant, Ralph Sarchie, who spent many years on the force while assisting with exorcisms in his spare time.
In this exclusive clip from a forthcoming 15-minute documentary about Sarchie, he talks about his real-life experiences investigating demonic possessions. He worked in the company of a breakaway Catholic priest who split with the church over exorcisms.
Sarchie, who wrote a 2001 book about his demon-chasing career called �Beware the Night,� says he assisted at more than 20 such rituals, and investigated more than 50 spooky cases in all. He and his crew would typically roam a spirit-infested house to spread holy water, incense and holy oil, then pray in unison.
