  • The Demonic Possession of David Glatzel and Arne Johnson

    The Demonic Possession of David Glatzel and Arne Johnson
    Jul 8 2025
    The Demonic Possession of David Glatzel and Arne Johnson This week we dive into one of the most terrifying possession cases in American history - the haunting of the Glatzel family in 1980s Connecticut. When the family moved into what seemed like an innocent rental home in Brookfield, they had no idea they were stepping into a nightmare that would tear their lives apart. It all began when 11-year-old David was violently pushed by an unseen force while cleaning his new bedroom, coming face-to-face with a grotesque demonic entity with coal-black eyes and melting skin. What followed were months of escalating supernatural terror - mysterious whispers, vanishing medicine bottles, unexplained scratches appearing on David's body, and the boy speaking in foreign tongues while contorting his body in impossible ways. The situation reached a breaking point when renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called in, bringing multiple priests to perform what would become a series of harrowing exorcisms. But during the final ritual, David's sister's boyfriend Arne Johnson made a fateful decision that would change everything - he challenged the demon to take him instead of the boy. Months later, this act of apparent heroism would lead to the first recorded homicide in Brookfield's history and result in the first-ever legal defense of "demonic possession" in an American courtroom - infamously becoming "the devil made me do it."

  • The Cursed Civil War Land

    The Cursed Civil War Land
    Jul 1 2025
    Our first tale comes from Ava in Newfoundland, Canada, who experienced something truly unsettling during a late-night phone call with friends in early 2022. What started as typical teenage conversation quickly turned into a nightmare when mysterious footsteps, slamming doors, and the sound of objects being moved around began echoing through her house. Both Ava and her sister heard these disturbances, but each thought the other was responsible - until they realized neither of them was making the noise, and their parents were fast asleep. Our second story takes us on a decades-spanning journey with Amy, whose encounters with the paranormal have followed her across multiple homes from Virginia to Tennessee. Growing up on Civil War battlefields where cannonballs and bullets still surface in backyards, Amy's family has dealt with whispers in the night, mysterious scratches that draw blood, and furniture that rearranges itself in menacing ways. From her childhood home in rural Virginia through her family's cursed farmland to her current residence in Tennessee, we explore how historical trauma might leave lasting impressions on the land itself.

  • The Revenge of Resurrection Mary

    The Revenge of Resurrection Mary
    Jun 24 2025
    The Revenge of Resurrection Mary Our first story comes from a Sophia in Kentucky, who's been dealing with paranormal activity since childhood - from mysterious balls rolling out from under beds to voices echoing through empty rooms. But things take a terrifying turn when she experiences physical attacks, including being grabbed by unseen hands while sleeping, and witnesses her boyfriend's face distorting before her very eyes. We also explore Logan's fascinating encounters from Chicago, starting with an incredible UFO sighting he witnessed with his father and brother while relaxing in their hot tub. Two glowing oval crafts appeared overhead, hovering silently before vanishing with explosive sounds that left the family stunned. But Logan's connection to the paranormal doesn't end there - his family has had multiple mysterious car breakdowns at the exact same spot near Resurrection Cemetery, spanning decades and involving three generations.
