Can the devil really drive someone to commit murder? Well, according to these cases it can. On this episode of Para(normal), the girls tell two chilling stories of those who blamed the devil for the unspeakable crimes they committed. Nicolina shares the story of Arne Cheyenne Johnson who, by firsthand accounts by demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, claim he was possessed by a demon when he killed his landlord, Alan Bono on February 16th, 1981, in Brookfield, Connecticut. The story also inspired the most recent instalment of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Marie then tells the horrifyingly true story of Michael Taylor, which became a notable case in Ossett, England in 1974, as a result of his alleged demonic possession that drove him into a murderous rage, killing both his wife and the family dog.
