A fog-draped encounter outside Southend Hospital in 1983 opens a decades-spanning investigation into the life of Bill Ramsey, a man whose violent episodes, eerie wolf imagery, and headline-making 1987 attack on a police officer turned him into the so-called Southend Werewolf. Episode 40 of the Dancing Toaster traces Ramsey’s childhood trigger, the hospital incidents, and the notorious exorcism arranged by Ed and Lorraine Warren, then sifts witness accounts and media coverage to separate verifiable fact from legend. Along the way, we weigh clinical lycanthropy and neurological explanations against a spiritual warfare lens, asking why the violence stopped after a single ritual and what that means. Come for the chills, stay for the careful sourcing, and decide for yourself whether this was psychology under pressure or a brush with something old and hungry.

The Dancing Toaster is a weekly podcast that wrestles with the intersection of faith and the unexplained.

I release new episodes every Tuesday wherever podcasts are found.
