up over the summer.

During the summer Lisa told me about the demons.
Her first revelations occurred in the early part
of the summer. As the summer progressed
'demons' became all that she talked about.

One evening, in the presence of Mr. Loftin, she
said that she was convinced that demons had
been directing the killer in Santa Barbara.
She also asserted that my home was filled with
demons.

Anne turned to me and said, "I don't know whether that is true or not,
but he makes it sound as if he is perfectly normal--as if *he* is not
obsessed with demons."

I recalled how Rama had increasingly preached that most of his
disciples--and most of the human race--were possessed by "Negative
Entity" demons.

"And I know for a fact," Anne added, "that Rama told us there were
demons in his house in Seattle."

Rama writes:

She [Lisa] led Mr. Loftin and I down into
the basement and pointed to areas of the
vacant air where she asserted that the demons
lived. She was also convinced that a demon
lived on the second to the top stair of the
upstairs staircase. She told us that the
demon that lived on the stair had caused her
to fall down the stairs once and was continually
trying to trip her.

I recalled, from press accounts, that it was Rama who had climbed a
stepladder to clean invisible demons off the ceiling, it was Rama who
had swept the stairs with his hands to avoid being tripped by demons,
and it was Rama who, wearing raingear and Indian beads, had spent hours
in the basement grabbing at the air.

Rama claims:

On another occasion while the three of
us were chatting in my backyard, Lisa
told Richard and I that she had taken
L.S.D. and other drugs as a student at
U.C. Santa Barbara.

She asked Richard if he knew where she
could get some L.S.D. and cocaine. When
he informed her that he had no knowledge
of where she could get these drugs she
became belligerent and angry.

I recalled reading about Rama's treatment of Lisa. He had allegedly
given her LSD. Then, as he had done to the three women in Seattle, he
screamed at her for hours, repeating that she was evil and that she had
been trying to hurt him.
