Rebecca Brown
From RationalWiki
Rebecca Brown, M.D. (born Ruth Irene Bailey) is the author of He Came to Set the Captives Free and Prepare For War, both notoriously fraudulent tales about somebody named "Elaine" she had supposedly rescued from Satanism. Both books were published by Chick Publications and used by Jack Chick as source material for some of his own tracts about the occult (e.g. The Poor Little Witch).
"Elaine" was supposedly so deeply into Satanism that she actually got married to Satan himself. Brown and "Elaine" also claimed Christian churches were being widely infiltrated by witches. The book has all the usual gory stories of human sacrifices and sex orgies common to such Christian books, and an encounter with a werewolf among other things. It also claims "Elaine", as a high Satanist priestess, met with rock musicians (who had all signed their souls over to Satan) and with the Pope to discuss Satanist strategy.
She was quickly exposed as a fraud by other Christian ministries who investigated the story.[1] They further found that "Elaine" was Dr. Ruth Irene Bailey's roommate the whole time, and that Bailey/Brown had had her medical license revoked by the state of Indiana for a repeated pattern of misdiagnosing serious illnesses as "demonic possession", and for inappropriately prescribing large doses of narcotic drugs to her patients, including to "Elaine".
