174. Demons

Zozo, Pazuzu, Asmodeus and the terrifying true stories behind the Ouija board, plus three real possession and exorcism cases. Girls Gone Spooky Ep. 174.

This week Liv and Amy take on demons in two very different ways. Liv digs into Ouija board demons: the ideomotor effect vs. the paranormal, Zozo's infamous "figure eight" pattern and where the legend really began, listener stories that will make you say goodbye every single time, and what Christianity, Judaism, and Islam each say about talking boards. Then Amy covers three possession and exorcism cases: George Lukins, the "Yatton Demoniac," Arne Cheyenne Johnson and the Glatzel case that inspired The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and Sister Maria Crocifissa's mysterious "Devil's Letter." Plus Practical Magic 2 and ACOTAR rereads (spoilers!).
