In this Strange Bite bonus episode, we dive into the uneasy crossroads of demons and diagnosis. From the witch-hunters’ Malleus Maleficarum to Roland Doe and Anneliese Michel, history is filled with cases where medicine and the supernatural fought for the same soul. Was it epilepsy—or the Devil? Trauma—or a true possession? And why do these stories keep coming back, even when science explains so much?
This is the modern story of demons: courtroom trials, psychiatric charts, Hollywood horror, and the questions that never die.
