Wallace told Jenkins that they deliberately stoked up a satanic panic from 1972 to 1974, even placing black candles and upside-down crucifixes in derelict buildings in some of Belfast’s war zones.
Then, army press officers leaked stories to newspapers about black masses and satanic rituals taking place from republican Ardoyne in north Belfast to the loyalist-dominated east of the city.
In Jenkins’s book, Black Magic and Bogeymen, Wallace admitted that the “psych-ops” branch of military intelligence exploited public fear of satanism stoked by films such as The Exorcist and The Devil Rides Out.

We were on tour in one of those houses, Doris Day’s house or wherever it was we used to stay, and the three of us took it, Ringo, George and I. Maybe Neil and a couple of the Byrds. I think they came, I’m not sure, on a few trips.
Peter Fonda came, and that was another thing. He kept saying, “I know what it’s like to be dead,” and we said “What?” and he kept saying it. We were saying “For Christ’s sake, shut up, we don’t care, we don’t want to know,” and he kept going on about it.
That’s how I wrote “She Said, She Said” — “I know what’s it’s like to be dead.” It was a sad song, an acidy song I suppose. “When I was a little boy”… you see, a lot of early childhood was coming out, anyway.I was Terry Melcher’s mentor at Columbia, and we became good friends and remained so through the years.
I introduced Sly to Terry, and several times Terry joined me at Sly’s recording sessions. I often visited with Terry and Doris at their home in Beverly Hills, and one day I brought Sly with me to hang out with Terry.
Sly was mainly interested in buying one of her cars. Sly did go to Doris’s house, but only to see the car in question, and that’s when Terry introduced him to his mother.
They had a brief conversation, and then Doris went into the kitchen. While she was out of the room, Sly went to the piano in the living room and began to play ‘Que Sera, Sera.’
Then Doris came out of the kitchen, on her way elsewhere in the house, and with Sly accompanying her, she sang a few bars of the song.
To the best of my knowledge, that is the first and last time Sly and Doris met, despite the false and scurrilous tabloid reports that appeared subsequently.
