Michelle Remembers

Book • 1980
Published in 1980, 'Michelle Remembers' is a memoir that recounts Michelle Smith's alleged experiences of satanic ritual abuse during her childhood in the 1950s.

The book was written based on extensive therapy sessions with Dr. Lawrence Pazder, who used hypnosis and other suggestive techniques to recover Smith's memories.

The narrative includes graphic descriptions of rituals, sacrifices, and other forms of abuse, which were later widely discredited due to the lack of physical evidence and the controversial methods used to recover the memories.

The book played a significant role in sparking the global 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980s.
