Ex-NYPD cop turned demon hunter haunted by…
This cop is battling demons.
A retired NYPD officer turned “demonologist” is breaking his silence about the bone-chilling warning that compelled him and his former FDNY EMT spouse to take a year-long hiatus from slaying the supernatural — and revealing why they assume they’re protected to combat evil again.
Chris and Harmony DeFlorio dedicated their lives to chasing demons and other paranormal baddies around the world after leaving their metropolis jobs. Chris, 54, retired after 20 years at the thirty second Precinct in Harlem. Harmony, 49, left the Emergency Medical Service following a lupus diagnosis.

For the last 4 years, they are saying, they’ve investigated almost a thousand circumstances free of charge.
But last 12 months, two sinister figures that first appeared in Florio’s goals half a decade in the past returned — and scared him enough to hold up his holy water.
“In 2019, I had a vivid dream that I was in a hotel room, confronting demons – but I was being defeated. A man in a robe holding an upside down cross ripped my chain, which had two crosses on it, and whipped my arm with it three times,” said DeFlorio.
He continued: “A younger lady and a younger lady, perhaps 6 years outdated, got here up to me and they have been guffawing. It was that sinister sort of guffawing, and the lady said, ‘Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to do what you’re going to do? He’s not right here anymore.’
“They said, ‘If you get involved in this, we’re going after your family too,’” DeFlorio told The Post.
DeFlorio pressed on, boning up on every e book and report he may discover on demonology, including works by Catholic exorcists Malachi Martin, and Revs. Chad Ripperger and Gabriele Amorth.

But last 12 months, DeFlorio dreamed of the mom and baby again. This time, he said, there was no vivid imagery – only six chilling phrases: “We told you to stay away.”
The next day, a frantic Long Island mother called for help: she claimed a mirror had been hurled three toes from her wall – not fallen, but violently thrown – almost crushing her two toddlers.
When the couple — who fancy themselves the modern-day model of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who have been portrayed in “The Conjuring” — arrived at the Long Island home, crucifix and Bible in hand, DeFlorio said he heard the phrases again. But this time they have been whispered immediately into his ear.
“It went right through me,” he said. As he called out non secular instructions, a darkish presence swirled.
At that second, “you could see a spirit in the room right around me,” DeFlorio said.
“I felt like we were actually helping people who were victimized. We were making a difference,” Harmony explained. Shannon Alexander
Although the home has been quiet since, DeFlorio couldn’t shake the repeated warnings.
“I was very upset and worried for my family – I’m not scared for me, but it hit home so much because we have grandkids now,” DeFlorio said, referring to the couple’s twin, 3-year-old grandsons.
“A lot of the calls kept coming in, but I kept finding excuses not to go,” he explained.
Now, the Ronkonkoma couple say they’re returning to work.
“We decided, we need to do this. We’re called to do this,” DeFlorio said. “I was thinking with human reasons and forgetting the God factor.”

Harmony added: “We’re just His messengers, it’s really not us doing the work – it’s all His prayers and His blessings, and they help people.”
Besides, with this week’s release of “The Conjuring: Last Rites” – the fifth and last installment of the favored horror franchise, he added, “we know we can’t remain silent.”
