Refusing to denounce his Catholic faith, mystic visionary Josyp Terelya spent many years in a Soviet Union prison. Terelya was subject to brutal abuse such as being doused in water and locked in an outside unheated cell during extreme minus degree weather conditions. In his co-authored book with famed author Michael H. Brown, Terelya tells us during such times he would receive apparitions from the Virgin Mary and Saint Michael who comforted and keep him warm. Through the intercession of President Reagan and other heads of State, Russia was pressured into releasing Terelya. He later moved to Toronto, Canada. Through the years he claimed continued apparitions and prophecies of future events such as 911. Josyp suffered some years with congestive heart failure. Josyp Terelya died Monday March 16, 2009 in Toronto, he was 65.
