After making a pact with the Devil, Clara experiences a terrifying possession. The details of the case are well-documented and were witnessed by over 200 people.

Was Clara Germana Cele truly possessed by Satan? Or was she suffering from an undiagnosed and untreated mental health condition?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore three scary listener stories--including an encounter with The Slit-Mouthed Woman, a harrowing tale of disappearing neighbors, and a devilish murdered who gives you one minute's notice.

What scary experiences do you have? What has given you the creepy feeling that you were being watched? What has made you do a double-take to make sure there was nothing hiding in that dark corner of your room? And is it possible that whatever you experienced is something the rational mind can’t simply explain away?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore an unsettling and mystifying possession story--Lurancy Vennum, The Watseka Wonder. In the late 1870's, a teenage girl began experiencing debilitating seizures that left her in a trance-like state--and claiming she was possessed by the spirit of a young woman.

A young woman who'd experienced many of the same symptoms--and who'd died 12 years before.

Was Lurancy Vennum possessed by the spirit of Mary Roff? Or was it nothing more than a hoax, and if so, how couldshe tell stories and recall details from someone else’s life?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a scary and disturbing case--The Boy in the Attic. In Dublin, Ireland in June 1973, a teenage boy murdered his neighbor, 7-year-old John Horgan. If that weren't unsettling enough, the details of the murder involve religion, Satanism, the occult, and ritual sacrifice.

What compelled Lorcan Bale to commit such a heinous crime? And was he influenced by the Devil, or did he simply act out his own terrifying fantasy?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a genuinely unsettling and scary case--The Belmez Faces. In 1971 in a small home in a small city, a woman discovered a strange stain on her concrete floor--in the shape of a human face. For the next 50 years, the faces would appear and disappear, leading to confusion and speculation.

Are these alleged faces truly paranormal—were they made by a spirit or spirits? Or are these faces the work of human hands and nothing more than an elaborate hoax?
