  • File 14 - Hierarchy of Angels

    The word Angel comes from the Greeks, they used the word “Angelos”, which is actually a translation of a Hebrew word for “Messenger”. When we talk about Angels, the actuality of these beings is, they are actually in their own classification and other beings exists as well in their own, for a lack of a better word “angel” classifications.

    Christianity has its own tiers of Angels, so do other religions, such as Judaism and Islam.

    There are many types of divine spirits or beings like the Seraphim, Cherubim and Archangels.

    Come with us today, in our 14th episode of the Demented Files, to learn a bit more about angelic hierarchy and how they can be everything from intimidating, terrifying to helpful and loving.

  • File 13 - The Unhinged Story of Katherine Knight

    LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED

    We cannot warn you enough if you have not heard the story of Katherine Knight before - this story is very violent and graphic in nature.

    Prior to Knight becoming the first woman to be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in Australia, she was making the life of her partners a living nightmare. Unbelievably abusive and toxic - inflicting so much physical harm upon her families that we do not comprehend how she wasn't arrested for domestic violence!

    Unfortunately, John Price (her last boyfriend), became the reason she was put behind bars in the end. But not before the details of her deranged atrocities towards John came to light and were shared with the World.

  • File 12 - UFO Abduction of Antonio Villas Boas & an Italian UFO Sighting

    Today we will be covering one of our favorite topics ever; UFOs and Aliens! You know we cannot resist talking about these phenomenons! We have two incredible and hard to believe (but we WANT to Believe) tales today.

    The first story is about farmer Antonio Villas Boas who had an alien encounter in Brazil back in 1957.

    For the second story, we travel from Brazil to Florence, Italy back to 1954 to ponder in deep thought about the UFO sighting over a large sports stadium. 10,000 people all saw similar unknown objects flying over them for a good amount of time.

    Come join us and decide for yourselves if Alien/UFO encounters are real and if soon enough we may be exposed to a lot more unacknowledged information than we ever expected!

  • File 10 - The Exorcism of Michael Taylor

    Listener Discretion is Advised

    Demons, jinns, dybuk - all malevolent forces that have been around for thousands of years in some of the world's oldest religions. They seem to travel our earthly realm and terrorize innocent people and their souls. Where do they come from? How can they take possession of our bodies?

    Today we will be telling the story of Michael Taylor, a pretty normal man from England, who has one of the most frightening possession and exorcism stories ever told.

    Let us know what you think of Michael's story and whether you believe it is a true terrifying story of possession or just very evil human behaviors that may lie dormant in all of us.

  • File 8 - The Turpin Case (House of Horrors)

    Listener Discretion is Advised

    Welcome back to the Demented files. In our 8th we will be descending into the darkness that is the Turpin Children's case. Please be advised it is a dark and sensitive case and it involves the story of child neglect and abuse - for some children, for more than two decades. We still cannot comprehend how this could have happened at all, let alone (for some time) in the middle of the Suburbs.

    We only wish all the Turpin children the best in the World! They are so brave and courageous. We hope now that they are free people, for them to always have security, protection and much deserved happiness!
