Today's episode marks our long-overdue first visit to Brazil! We discuss the Catholic medium and "psychic surgeon" João Teixeira de Faria*, who performed healings and surgeries from his spiritual hospital in Abadiânia for 40+ years. Then, we discuss a series of grisly murders*, which some Brazilian citizens have blamed on practitioners of Candomblé and Umbanda, two Afro-Brazilian religions often seen by outsiders as "black magic." At the end of the episode, Liz delivers a shocking revelation to Sarah about her first impression of her!

*Content warning: graphic descriptions of surgery, sexual assault, rape, and murder.
