The fourth and final episode of Spooky Season covers a shocking crime from February 16, 1981, when 19-year-old Arne Johnson stabbed his landlord and friend Alan Bono to death at a dog kennel in Brookfield, Connecticut...the town's first homicide in nearly two centuries. When the case went to trial, Johnson's attorney made legal history by arguing his client was not guilty by reason of demonic possession, a defense no American court had ever considered. Behind the headline was a family divided: an 11-year-old boy whose frightening episodes drew the famous paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, and whose brothers still disagree about what really happened.

Our third episode of Spooky Season takes you back to January 1897, when twenty-something Zona Heaster Shue was found dead at the bottom of her staircase in Greenbrier County, West Virginia...her husband's grief just a little too theatrical, her neck just a little too covered. When her mother began receiving nightly visits from Zona's ghost, she brought what she'd been told straight to the prosecutor, setting in motion the only known case in American legal history where a ghost's testimony helped convict a murderer.

Episode two of Spooky Season covers a case from April 1943, when four boys trespassing in Hagley Wood, Worcestershire, discovered a woman's skeleton stuffed inside a hollow wych elm...her identity unknown, her killer never caught. The cloth forced into her mouth confirmed murder, but 3,000 missing-persons reports and a nationwide dental search led nowhere. In the silence, theories multiplied: a witchcraft ritual, a Nazi spy, and an ordinary woman history was ready to forget.

Welcome to the first episode of Crime House's latest four-part limited series: Spooky Season. In the winter of 1803, the village of Hammersmith was convinced a ghost was stalking its darkened lanes... and armed men took to the streets to stop it. On January 3rd, 1804, excise officer Francis Smith shot and killed Thomas Millwood, an innocent plasterer whose white work clothes made him look exactly like the phantom the village feared. The case landed in London's Old Bailey with a question English law struggled to answer for the next two centuries: can a sincere but deadly mistake constitute murder?
