Dark Force: The Tragic Story Of The Bean Family

Rate this book
I read Dark Force and found it to be one of the most captivating stories I have ever read. Through it all, Bill Bean stands tall as a champion of faith. His story has touched and inspired many. "Dark Force" is a must read book.
George Noory, Host of Coast to Coast AM

In 1970, the Bean family moved into a modest three bedroom house located in Glen Burnie, Maryland.Bill recalled his first memories of the house were frightening ones. "it had a very foreboding and ominous feel from the start," he said. What the family didn't know is that a demonic force already occupied their new home.

Bill stated, "My family was literally torn apart by an evil force that co-existed among us. The activity began as noises and gradually escalated into violent physical attacks on us by the entities."

Bill Bean painfully describes in terrifying detail the events that tormented his family. As disturbing as some of the content in Dark Force is, there's a very powerful message of hope and faith that has affected many readers in a positive way.

What truly makes this book stand out is its balance between darkness and light. While the events he describes are undeniably chilling, from unexplained noises to violent supernatural attacks, the core of the story is rooted in faith, hope, and spiritual strength. Bill’s unwavering belief and his journey to reclaim peace in the face of such overwhelming evil is incredibly inspiring.

This book club pick was unforgettable. Dark Force is more than just a terrifying paranormal account, it’s a deeply personal and emotional testimony of survival. Bill Bean shares his family's harrowing experience with demonic forces in a way that is both raw and courageous.

If you're drawn to true stories of the paranormal, but also want a meaningful message of overcoming adversity, Dark Force is an absolute must-read. It leaves you thinking about more than just ghosts, it makes you reflect on faith, family, and resilience.

I was scared to death. But found much faith in God and hIs beloved Son.i was raised in a Christian home by loving parents.i lost my father several years ago,although I miss him I gladly gave him the peace from his suffering. I have a hard time convincing my family that evil exicts and Satan is actively at work. I have had a few experinces myself in a home i used to live in and owned. I moved to n.c. with my husband.My son lived there two years and said something was going on in that house. He is a vet with glad it got worse while he was there.He worked nights and his wife would lock herself in her bedroom with my grandson and there dog..We lost our oldest son when he was 24. My husband doesn't believe in evil or God.his suffering is teribble,he drinks a lot. I never lost my faith that God was alive and well.we decided to sell the house. Things are better but its hard being the only who believe in evil and good. I will say my daughter in-laws is a blessing she believes and together we help each other. This book has given me forage and strength to carry on. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

I listened to a fair amount of hype over this book and watched a docu show on it. Not entirely certain why something sits wrong with me in relationship to the story. While I think that there may have been events the author experienced, I'm just not buying the entire package.
