PARANORMAL: The Loudun Possessions

Join Josh as he dives into the dark and chaotic world of the Loudun Possessions — a case where screaming nuns, public exorcisms, and political power plays collided. At the center of it all was Urbain Grandier, a priest accused of sending demons into a convent and burned at the stake for it.
