Tonight on Cryptique Ryan and I discuss Sister Maria Crocifissa della Concezione.  She was a 17th century Benedictine nun who claims to have been possessed by Satan himself when she penned a letter.  It contained characters unrecognized by scholars and linguists present and past.  But a decryption software downloaded from the dark web may have solved some of the text.  Send us case suggestions at [email protected] and tell a friend.  Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Cryptique Ryan and I discuss the Codex Gigas.  It's a book, allegedly written by a monk in one night, with the help of Satan himself.  It contains many sacred scriptures and even has exorcism prayers.  But was it written with the help of the Devil by a monk who suddenly broke bad?  Or could a repentant monk have received a miracle from above allowing him to complete an amazing feat.
