Are you curious—or perhaps a bit wary—of the "D word" (demons)? This episode dives into the fascinating and chilling world of exorcisms, the ritualistic practice of expelling supposed evil spirits. We explore the history of exorcisms, from ancient Mesopotamia to the modern-day Pacific Northwest! We discuss the three stages of possession—infestation, oppression, and possession—and how exorcists differentiate between paranormal activity and a mental heath crisis. And unpack how the fascinating (and sometimes absurd) elements of exorcisms, like blaming Ouija boards, drug use, or the oft-cited trope of "Native American burial grounds," play into possession stories.
This episode isn’t just about the sensational aspects of exorcisms—it balances spooky stories, thoughtful insights, and a touch of humor to explore humanity’s age-old battle with the evil. Whether you believe in demons or think it’s all in the mind, we hope this episode leaves you with chills and questions.
