Gail Peterson

Gail Peterson is the mother of psychic Magda Peterson.

Background
Gail's daughter was born with powerful psychic abilities, which led her to cause a car accident while she and Gail were arguing.

Gail was left with damaged nerves and constant pain, and following the accident, Gail became fanatically religious. She cut the family off from the world, faked Magda's death and locked her in the basement of their home. Believing Magda to be possessed by Lucifer, Gail would force Magda to whip herself to try to get the Devil out of her.
