The Making of a Monster, 1989
Added 2021-11-02 06:13:35 +0000 UTC"In dialog with Christian colleagues, he convinced himself that the Devil, not dirty pictures, made him kill. This satanic revelation came from an intimate of Bundy's who wanted the story told:
'Ted believed that he was demonically possessed,' the source said. 'It began in college. He called it 'the Beast.' It was not your typical demon. It spoke to him, but it had no human emotion, no conscience. At first, he was afraid. The demon was totally contrary to his make-up. But then he conditioned himself to it and got so he could tolerate it. Finally, Ted gave himself over. He joined the demon and got to like pornography. He believed that other serial killers were also possessed. He struggled with the demonic influence, marked by lust and feelings of violence, even in prison. But through prayer and reading God's word, he subdued the demon somewhat. However, he never felt that the Beast ever left him entirely.'"
--from The Making of a Monster by Philip Nobile in Playboy, July 1989
Comments
“There may not even be a name for him in psychiatric literature”. A useful article that explores the difficulty in trying to categorise Bundy’s paraphilia.
