   An interesting read is "Remembering Satan", about a small community torn apart by accusations of sexual abuse and satanic rituals. Many people confessed, some were convicted, no evidence was ever produced.

   Lawrence Wright published a book titled Remembering Satan which describes the case of Republican Party Chairman Paul Ingram and his confession of satanic ritual abuse of his children, which was later suggested to be a case of false/suggested memory:

   "Psychologist Richard Ofshe claimed that Ingram, because of his long-standing and routine experiences in his church, was inadvertently hypnotized by authority figures who conducted his interrogation, although no mental health professionals were present, and that the confessions were the result of false memories being implanted with suggestion."
