#9 The Devil on Trial

In 1980, during the exorcism of an allegedly possessed boy, Arne Cheyanne Johnson challenged the demon to enter his body. Months later, Johnson stabbed a man to death, claiming that at the time of the murder, he was possessed. Amidst the mayhem, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren assisted, advised—and profited—from the boy’s family and from Johnson’s case; a case so intriguing it led to a book, two films, and a new, revealing Netflix documentary. This episode examines the Warrens’ most notorious investigations—The Demon Murder Case—as well as the movie adaptations it conjured. (36m.)
