Biography:Dave Considine
{{Multiple issues|
Dave Considine is one of North America's few demonologists sanctioned by Traditionalist Catholic Churches[according to whom?]. In his twenty-six year career, he has handled thousands of cases along with his team involving psychic phenomena, historic hauntings, human hauntings, elemental hauntings, poltergeists, demonic infestations, possession and exorcism, the occult, UFOs, missing time, preternatural physical / non-physical entity encounters, abductions and missing people, human / animal mutilations, governmental & religious cover-ups.[citation needed]
Early life
Born in rural Connecticut, at the age of twelve Considine believes he had a terrifying supernatural experience which altered the course of his life. A short time later, he decided to dedicate his life to investigating the supernatural, focusing on ways to assist individuals and families believed to be victimized by entities from the supernatural realm.[1] After two active tours of duty with the US Armed Forces, he founded Phantasm Psychic Research in 1994,[2] dividing his time between his own organization and being the assistant to self-described exorcist and traditionalist bishop Robert McKenna and has been working in the field for 27 years.[citation needed]
Work
Trained directly by Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, Considine has worked closely through the years with many other noted figures in the fields of paranormal research, demonology, exorcism and the occult. These include the aforementioned Ed Warren, religious demonologist and director and founder of the New England Society of Psychic Research; Fr. Malachi Martin, author of Hostage to the Devil; Fr. James Lebar of the New York Archdiocese;[citation needed] and Fr. Rama Coomaraswamy, M.D., assistant director of the Albert Einstein institute of Psychiatry.[citation needed]
Considine has said,
As a religious demonologist, I often see people at rock bottom - terrified, desperate... The most rewarding part of my job is helping them put their lives back together. I see the trauma they go through, and I help them to fight back, using their faith. I hate seeing people victimized by the demonic, but it's incredibly gratifying to watch them come back, more faithful and stronger than they've ever been before.
Considine attributes his success in his field to his strong faith in God and the support of his family and investigative team members.
