| Martin Bell: Good evening and welcome to our show this evening. I have here in the studios two of the most controversial individuals to come along in a long time. They call themselves Demonologists, and travel the world investigating ghosts and paranormal phenomenon. Before I get in over my head, let me welcome Wayne and Raymond Booran to the show. Wayne Booran: Good evening. Raymond Booran: Evening. Thanks for having us. Martin: Now, you�ve been called parapsychologists, ghostbusters, paranormal exterminators, psychic investigators and Demonologists. What gives? What is it that you really do? Wayne: The true nature of our name is just that. Demonology is the study of demons, but it also includes the serious study of philosophy, theology, business, law, psychology, anthropology, cryptozoology, chemistry, hypnosis, biology, physics, metaphysics, and of course, all branches of parapsychology. Martin: Ok�.then, um, I still don�t get what it is that you do. Raymond: We help free people and places from evil spirits, possessing entities, and ghosts. We investigate all realms of the supernatural and try to educate the public as to it�s reality. Martin: So you are saying that ghosts and goblins are real? Wayne: Absolutely. Raymond: Let us assure you, not only real, but an everyday reality. Martin: I see. Well, I know that�s been a matter of debate, and we�ll be taking some calls in a little bit. But give us a little backround, how did you two get involved in such bizarre work? Raymond: Well Martin, it wasn�t by choice. Wayne and I were both born on October 31, 1956. We- Martin: You mean to tell me you are twins? Wayne: Isn�t that obvious? Martin: Well no, you look nothing alike. Wayne: That�s a matter of perspective, Martin. Martin: Whatever. Raymond: As I was saying, our upbringing was very religious and often very strict. Wayne: Celebrating out birthdays every year on Halloween, we became accustomed to talk of ghosts and ghouls and of the sort, not to mention having the gift of seeing spirits, auras, and potential business oppurtunities. Raymond: As young children, we lived in an authentic haunted house. Wayne and I would experience paranormal phenomena before we even knew what it was. Wayne: Our toys seemed to have a life of their own, as did other articles in the house, such as furniture, electrical appliances, and unfortunatley, out mother�s fine china collection. Raymond: Our parents, oblivious to the phenomenon surrounding them, always blamed the disturbances on young Wayne and myself. Wayne: Broken dishes, unmade beds, foul odors, and loud noises at night were met with the swift hand of authority as opposed to compassion as victims of a supernatural setup. Martin: I see, how tragic. Raymond: In fifth grade, Wayne and I began doing our own research on the paranormal. We consumed every book on the supernatural and the occult that we could find, learning the dark secrets of the other side. Wayne: Being way above average in intellect, we were able to recognize the similarities between the strange going ons in our house and other cases of reported hauntings. Through careful study, we were able to decipher the infrastructure of the haunting, and understood exactly what we were dealing with. Martin: Which was? Raymond: In June of �66, when we were 11, we told our parents that the disturbances in the home were actually caused by three earthbound spirits under entrapment by a higher malevolent force of diabolical order causing negative inhuman entities to strategically interfere with what would normally be a simple poltergeist outbreak, which should by now, be subsiding into it�s refractionary or dormant state. Martin: Good gracious! How did they take it? Wayne: Well, not very good we�re afraid. The very next day our mother suffered a severe nervous breakdown and Raymond and I were sent to live at Our Lady of Holy Grace orphanage. It was a difficult time for us. Martin: What about your father? Wayne: He found the emotional hardships of having abnormal children too much for him, and left the country with a hemaphroditic transvestite, never to be heard from again. Martin: A likely story. Tell us, what was school like for the young Boorans? Wayne: Life in a Catholic school was difficult for us. The other children poked fun at us because we had a 100 point grade average and were orphans. We were considered outcasts and picked on often, Ray still even has atomic wedgie scars, but nonetheless we continued our studies. Our interest in the occult never swayed. We read and memorized every book, magazine, and newspaper article that was ever published dealing with the world of the paranormal. Raymond: It was shortly before graduation when Sister Jizzabel brought us a telegram from Darkwood Sanitarium, the institution that our mother had been kept in for the last seven years. Martin: What did the letter say? Wayne: The telegram informed us that our mother passed away. Moments before she died, she wrote us a letter with the final request that it be given to Raymond and I upon her death. Raymond: We hadn�t seen or spoken with out mother since she was committed. The next day we arrived at Darkwood to get the letter from the administration office. Martin: How intriguing! What did the letter say? Wayne: Well, we have it with us here, and if you don�t mind, Raymond will read it to us. Martin: Sure, by all means, go right ahead. Raymond: "My dear sweet boys. All these years I�ve been wrong about you both. An angel appeared to me last night and showed me the light. She told me you would fight evil throughout the world and help deliver millions of people from the clutches of the Dark one. You possess knowledge and skills far greater of that then mortal man, Use your holy skills wisely. You are the last of the Boorans, make our name proud once again. Please, except my forgiveness and remember my final words. . . I love you both." Martin: What a touching letter. Wayne: From that moment on, my brother and I have pledge our entire lives to the helping of people who have come under the sway of evil forces and negative supernatural influence. Raymond: We completed our comprehensive training in Rome and then graduated from the Vatican Community College of Demonology after 5 years of intense study. Wayne: We returned to America, and armed with the arcane knowledge of recognizing, confronting, and dispelling spirits of every sort, we embarked on our never ending crusade of fighting evil throughout the entire world! Martin: That certainly sounds heroic, but what to you say to all the numerous allegations that you are simply frauds and charlatans, and get rich by taking advantage of the uneducated, gullible public? Raymond: What do we say to that? Simple. They are idiots. It�s all part of the Infernal plan. Martin: I�m sorry, the Infernal what? Wayne: The Infernal plan. The Demonic spirit is not stupid. It knows it�s greatest defense is to have people believe it does not exist. Therefore it will mock us and do it�s best to make us look foolish. We have even dispelled demons that took on the physical appearances of Ronald MacDonald, Sammy Davis Junior, and even George Washington. It knows that when we submit our reports to higher authorities, we will be met with ridicule and skepticism. That�s the nature of the beast. Martin: Okay, the phones are lighting up here in New York, and we are going to take a call from Harvard University of all places. Go ahead caller, you are on the air. . . Voice: Yes, hello Mr. And Mr. Booran, I am Professor Thurston Winthrop from the North American Society of Practical Science. Wayne and Raymond: Evening professor. Caller: First of all, let me say, that never in my life have I heard such ridiculous, fabricated stories. I have been a scientist for nearly 60 years and I have never once seen anything that even remotely resembles the so called supernatural. You are nothing but a pair of cheap performers, and bad ones at that. Your work has no basis whatsoever, and is nothing more than pure rubbish. You should be utterly ashamed of yourselves, as you disgrace the entire scientific world. Raymond: Professor Winthrop, through your divine ignorance, you have become a mere pawn in a strategic game of deception orchestrated by the Demonic spirit. It�s because of people like you that people that have experiences preternatural phenomenon are - Caller: One moment, Mr. Booran. Your so called experiences are nothing more than a rehash of cheap late night horror films. For example, in the March edition of OMNI magazine, you claimed that you and your brother had uncovered a family of 42 vampires in hibernation in the ruins of a Transylvanian castle, where as upon you proceeded to stake each one of them through the heart, turning them to ashes, leaving no physical evidence that they ever even existed! Mr. Booran, we both know that this defies all the natural laws of nature and physical science as we know it. Your claims are preposterous and you work is absurd. Raymond: Mr. Winthrop, my brother is about to tell you what is absurd. Wayne: You are absurd, Mr. Winthrop. Your puny scientific mind is incapable of comprehending the reality of the supernatural underworld. Your accusations have demonstrated to us the idiocy of your narrow minded profession and the inadequacy of a simple minded individual, and ultimately, you have proven yourself unworthy of our conversation. Next caller please�. Caller: But I - (DIAL TONE) Martin: Next caller please, yes hello, your on the Martin Bell show. Caller: Yes hello. I was just wondering, how can you tell if a person is really possessed and not just an asshole? Raymond: A possessed individual has a very distinct look. Once you have looked into their eyes, you are never the same. They also possess super human strength, unlimited earthly knowledge, and can manipulate the physical environment. At will, it can conjure fire, water, wind, and a number of bodily excretions, not to mention possessing the powers of prophecy, telepathy, telekinisis, teleportation, apportation, materialization, precognition, retrocognition, clairaudience, clairvoyance, invisibility, intangibility, impersonation, flatulation, and mass hypnosis. Wayne: An asshole is just an asshole. Does that answer your question? Caller: Yes, uh I guess so�thanks. Martin: Wow, that demon spirit guy sounds pretty scary. How does one do battle with such a fierce opponent? Wayne: Well Martin, only with skill, intelligence, experience, and many years of training can one have the abilities to do battle with the forces of darkness. Don�t ever try to take on a demon single-handedly, you are most certain to lose your mind, your life, or worse. Martin: Um, ya right, whatever. Let�s turn the topic over to your highly controversial book, The Scamityville Horror. Experts, including individuals involved, claim the whole story to be a hoax, yet you two maintain that it was a real occurance and have done so for many years. First off, let me ask you, how much money have you made from Georgie and Katie Slutzel�s story of a haunted house in Scamityville, New York? Raymond: You would have to ask that question to our accountant. Wayne: He is downstairs with our lawyer, agent, and bodyguards waiting in our limo. Martin: For those that don�t know, Wayne and Raymond were the chief investigators in the infamous case that made headlines around the world. In 1975, Ralfie Defonzo murdered his entire sleeping family in their colonial home on Long Island. Shortly afterward, a young couple named Georgie and Katie Slutzel along with their three children moved in and fled within a month saying it was possessed. You two investigated the house and then burned it to the ground. Why? Raymond: Isn�t it obvious? There was no alternative. There was no way to exorcise the demons within, the situation had grown far beyond that. We had to resort to drastic measures. Martin: But you were charged and found guilty of numerous crimes, including trespassing, vandalism, arson, fraud, and willful destruction of property. Wayne: (sigh) A small price to pay for ridding the world of evil spirits. Martin: Why do so many claim it to be a hoax? Wayne: Because they are dumbasses and don�t know any better. People are taught to disbelieve in the supernatural. But the fact of the matter is that if given the chance in a court of law, we could prove the demonic exists. Martin: But you were given the chance in a court of law, and you were found guilty! Raymond: Um, well, on the advice of our lawyer, we will answer no more questions about Scamityville thank you. Martin: Final question guys. It is well known that you charge outrageous fees for your services, you have over a dozen books, several movies and mini-series, a website, and you tour and lecture year round. Why all the publicity? Why no privacy for the individuals involved? Raymond: Besides the fact that we have bills to pay, I reiterate that knowledge is power. The more you know about the supernatural the better prepared you are when it comes knocking on your door. Privacy is the last thing people are concerned about when the supernatural turns your world upside down. And when it does, who are you gonna call? Martin: How about a psychiatrist? Wayne: Only a fool would turn to conventional methods. There is only one sure-fire way to get rid of evil entities, and that�s by contacting us through our website or at 1-800- BOORANS, and prey you never need to call us. Raymond: But if you do, rest assured that you are in good hands. We have not yet met a supernatural foe that we couldn't whip. Martin, are you sure your house isn�t haunted? Martin. Yes, pretty sure. Wayne: For a small investigation fee, I�m sure we can find some trace of paranormal activity. Martin: Er�.no thanks guys, but thanks for joining us. This is Martin Bell reminding you all the next time something goes bump in the night in your home, you're better off calling a plumber. Thanks for listening and good night. Raymond: Are we off the air? Martin you freakin' dickweed, you said you wouldn't ask us about that stuff! Wayne, take back the cash and send Rocky up to break his fucking le--- End Recording HOME |
