The hypnotist involved in the Giorgos Mazonakis case is a well-known figure even among certain members of the journalism community — implicated because doctor Ioanna Gaka allegedly sent him a photograph of the famous artist shortly before he died in her clinic. Mr. Nasos Komianos had previously received media coverage, notably from the newspaper Efimerida ton Syntakton, where he gave an intriguing interview about his field of work. He also earned the admiration of former TV presenter M. Tsekou, who hosted the launch of his book titled “Shadow Infiltrations” at the 50th Book Festival at the Zappeion in 2022.
The Mazonakis case: When the hypnotherapist claimed that “the dead speak or call” the living
This particular “hypnotist” — who rejects the title of “doctor” — was on the receiving end of glowing praise for his supposed expertise during the book presentation. He appeared visibly flattered that those around him and in conversation with him did not treat him as the village eccentric, but rather as someone capable of offering healing to anyone troubled by metaphysical concerns.
There is a recorded moment from the event, hosted by Magda Tsekou, in which he recounts a decidedly “miraculous” story — one that, notably, comes without any supporting evidence. He claims that at the moment an elderly woman was passing away, the sound of a “funeral bell” began ringing on her daughter-in-law’s mobile phone. The way he “describes” this supposed miracle is entirely unsubstantiated — something he himself attributes to his own mistake in failing to record or film it at the time. Yet to convince his audience that “the dead speak or call” the living, he presents it as a prime example. Below is the controversial video featuring the “miracle.”
Watch his full speech at the Zappeion, as well as the special feature dedicated to him by Efimerida ton Syntakton, and draw your own conclusions…
