Ralph Sarchie (14 June 1962, New York City)[1] is a retired NYPD sergeant and traditionalist Catholic demonologist.[2] He has written a book, Beware the Night, which details many of his paranormal investigations; his accounts were later the basis of the film Deliver Us from Evil.[3] Sarchie, in 2016, was featured in the film Hostage to the Devil, which detailed the life of Malachi Martin.[4]
This summer's crime-horror movie, Deliver Us From Evil, was inspired by the true paranormal stories shared by real-life NYPD Sergeant Ralph Sarchie in Beware The Night. The frightening book, which was written in tandem with Lisa Collier Cool, was released in 2001. At the time, Sarchie had worked on the force for 16 years, but it wasn't the crimes committed by people he writes about, it's the accounts of the paranormal. Sarchie is a demonologist, with a spiritual gift of his own, and he has performed exorcisms and led investigations into the demonic during his off-hours, a position he referred to as "the Work."
