That is such a great interview. My only question is this: how are these survivors, who have been through the most hellish torture and abuse, able to be so eloquent, articulate and calm? I know people who've been abused as children, and not one of them can dispassionately talk about their abuse and torture showing such little emotion as Hersha. That's why I have problem believing people like her.

I, personally, have long experience talking to victims of trauma through the judicial system. While each one is different, most are able to dispassionately discuss the facts of their trauma. Lack of emotion is not equal lack of credibility, every person has coping skills to get through a public process and flatly answering questions in front of strangers is the norm rather than exception. It also depends on the time that has passed between event and retelling.

Piscina, that is an excellent point that needs to be expanded upon if more 'normal' people are ever to be motivated to pursue these matters. When I was interviewed by a court official regarding events from my formative years, I matter of factly recounted several incidents. It was only several months later, when I got to read this man's official report, that the bigger impact hit me. Report stated Mr. ___ related events of most horrific nature in monotone, dispassionate manner indicating complete disconnect from events. Biggest surprise to me was stuff that was just normal to me was characterized in such negative fashion. Outrageous claims DO require extraordinary proof. I refer you to the video 'Cathy OBrien's gynecology appointment' and see her vaginal mutilation with your own eyes. (9 minute mark starts at doctor's office. A word of caution, Piscina, once you enter into this realm of darkness, you assume some level of responsibility to act. These kids, these adults deserve no less.

You make a good point.

In this instance, her years of therapy and MENSA level intelligence has helped her. She also stated that she didn't believe in satanic gods; she never lost faith in Jesus Christ. If you think of all the tens of thousands or more that are alive today that have has this level of abuse, you can see we have really heard from a very small percentage of the victims. Cheryl and others like her (that can give a voice to their experiences) are very rare, but to me, very believable.

Publishers Weekly on her book -

Credibility collapses, as improbabilities are piled on inconsistencies, and the truth is buried beneath simplistic, pulp-adventure prose. In closing, the authors claim that "Their story is true," following with an admission that they found no government documents about the program or the sisters. An elaborate disclaimer about the "presumed thoughts and imagined words of the participants" will lead many readers to ponder just how much real events have been fictionalized.

FWIW Regarding repressed memories, PTSD, hard-to-believe recounting from survivors ... I went my entire life with no conscious awareness whatsoever that my father raped me one (two?) times when I was 11. Events in my middle age prompted extreme efforts at therapy at which time some of the event, quite shocking to me, started to emerge. To this day, it is more a series of 'snapshot' images, rather than a 'video' type of recall. I can only imagine the psychological impact of far more severe abuse being inflicted upon much younger kids. These people should not be dismissed because their histories are so horrific and credibility-straining.

Excellent point. I'm so sorry what you had to endure.

Thanks for getting ahead of the deflection. Speaks clearly and confidently without hesitation to her memories. She appears credible and what she says fits the evidence for those who have studied the various topics.
