Daniel Gillies Instagram – so ok — I know my posts must seem kind of depressing. but while I remember — this extraordinary book discusses an epidemic in the 1980s where millions of Americans were led to believe that vicious ritual satanic sacrifice was happening right beneath their noses. it is also an incredible study in the frailty/susceptibility of the human mind to generate nightmarish fantasies indistinguishable from actual memories, beneath certain circumstances, coercion and influence. it centers on the Ingram family of thurston county, washington — and a myriad of terrifying/obscene ‘confessions’ and ‘accounts’ issued by both parents and children that could not possibly have taken place. a portrait of a national hysteria and massive delusional fantasy, created largely by the cult of christianity. this was by lawrence wright, the dude who wrote ‘going clear’ — the study of scientology which later became a documentary film. enjoy. :) dg
