This week we discuss the case that was the inspiration for the movies The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Requiem, and Anneliese the Exorcist Tapes.Anneliese Michel was a devout Roman Catholic from Bavaria that began experiencing seizures, and hallucinations. After seeing several specialists and being diagnosed with epilepsy, her symptoms worsened in 1975. Anneliese began refusing to eat or drink, ate bugs, and developed an intense aversion to any religious items.

Between 1975 to 1976, Anneliese underwent 67 exorcisms conducted by Father Alt and Father Renz, who believed she was possessed. Anneliese and her family believed the same, and Anneliese began praying rigorously to save herself. On July 1st, 1976, Anneliese died from dehydration, starvation, and physical exertion, leading to four individuals getting charged with negligent homicide.

While it’s easy for us to listen to these cases and get lost in the “story” behind it, it’s important for us to remember this isn’t fiction. This is a real case, where people lost their lives, people were injured, people lost loved ones. Let us all take a moment to think about the victims of this case, and remember those impacted, hoping that those who survived have found some peace.

At a young age, David felt isolated and struggled with depression. Eventually, David begins hearing voices compelling him to kill. David attacked two victims with a knife on Christmas Eve of 1975, but the voices didn’t stop. After acquiring a .44-caliber revolver illegally in the summer of 1976, David begins his reign of terror across New York.

This week we discuss another case that allegedly has some spooky elements, since it’s Halloween until at least October 31st. Brookfield, Connecticut is a quaint, picturesque New England town. But, Brookfield has a sinister history… and by sinister I mean, it unfortunately made history for being the first place in the United States to attempt to use possession by Satan himself as a defense.
Now known as The Devil Made Me Do It case, and the inspiration behind The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (it was not a good film), we dive into the events leading up to February 16th, 1981, when Arne Johnson brutally murdered his landlord, Alan Bono.

Spoiler alert: The Warrens are involved, again.
