3:00

listen to our warnings and for us to set intentions properly right cuz before we were I feel like we also when things were happening we were both a little freaked out but we were trying to play cool we're like oh how weird ha and then a lot happened after well I was trying to play it cool especially because we are recording in your house and you're very much like we're not allowed to do anything like where we summon things and I was like yeah yeah yeah cool cool cool cool Co totally fine I don't feel ringing in my ear and I don't feel laded and I don't feel notes totally fine and then I did I feel like Jinx you a little bit cuz I was like I don't want to say that I hope it follows you home but I hope it doesn't stay here and then and it followed me home it yeah I got like small trickles of things but nothing compared to what you got right we recorded last week last week's episode part one of this two-parter SML possession yeah and I went home and I felt really weird after recording I just had I mean we did two backtack episodes about demonic possessions and then I had a drive through Sal and stop and pick up

4:00

my prescriptions and I was so nauseous and had such a headache that I was like I'm not going to do this right now like I'll do it another time yeah I need to go home jeez so it didn't even get better at leaving the house no and then I was like I'm also hungry I haven't eaten it was like 2: p.m. I hadn't eaten so I like went home and I made lunch and I thought okay I'll get better I went and laid down in bed just like laying there I turned on below deck something like that and I'm in bed for 15 minutes and all of a sudden I hear a loud scream and a ton of noise and I was like what the hell and I you know like freeze in bed kind of like looking around silent and then I hear the noise continuing and it wasn't more screams it was like noise and I was like is the TV on downstairs and sure enough I go downstairs it is on Full volume this is like this is what happened in part one of the SM possession this is some of the beginnings of The Possession but I was

5:00

like okay because our TVs use the same

Most Haunted Podcast Strikes Again | We Haunted Ourselves

remote and I was like did I touch the remote by accident and accidentally send the signal to the downstairs TV and turn it on I came up with every excuse right I but I turned the TV off downstairs I go back upstairs and the dresser drawer had opened by itself and they're all so when you were out of the room it opened open for the like 60 seconds you were gone right and there I mean granted our house has slanted floors so could open like that but it has never happened like that before and the drawers are magnet closed like they stay shut unless you pull them I was like okay and then Leia jumps up and snuggled up in the Open Drawer so I was like guess the ghosts are helping you out I don't know yeah Leia's not freaked out she's like this is great yeah and then I took a three-hour nap and uh did some uh calling upon my ancestors and my Guardians to keep me safe and I have yet to have anything happen since okay I mean those two things are like literally things happened in to the smls well what

6:00

didn't happen to the smls that's also true I feel like nothing that extreme happened to me there was just a few times where God I don't even know what I was thinking about or talking about but there would be like some moments where I was thinking about something like darker and then I'd get same thing that we got recording just like ice cold all around my back but that was it that was the only thing Happ that feels almost protective where it's like don't think about it yeah to make you think about something else yeah yeah but yours was and also when we were recording it remember there was one part you were talking about something about whispering in the ear and I had right before you had talked about that my left ear just felt like weird and ringing almost someone is Whispering to you so this is part two listen if you dare and we'll set our intentions Here and Now gather hands everyone as Shrek and Fiona set intentions this podcast is purely for us

7:00

to talk about and learn about the Paranormal the otherworldly the other side of things that we don't see with our human naked eye and it is just a discussion we do not allow anything negative or dark to be in our spaces or to follow us home to touch us to be in our lives we are surrounded by love and light and positivity and it shall remain as so perfect this swamp is ghost free there are no ghosts and Shrek only donkeys and uh evil Lord F little well then great yeah no that's a good reminder to the spirits that although we might be talking about you we're not trying to summon you we're not trying to hang out no no which feels a little unfair and onesided wine and dine me first you know yeah what but that well maybe they're trying pick out bring the open the drawer pick out an outfit Sabrina we'll have a little movie night turn on the TV you know what's even funnier Sweet Nothing do you want to

8:00

know what drawer it was lingerie yeah no just dirty little dirty little ghost all the lingerie that I have my collection I order my underwear now on Amazon are they comfortable yeah they're actually great oh will you send me the link yeah they're not like thongs I'm I'm a mother now so it's full coverage you're going briefs I'm I'm going full booty I don't care if there's underwear lines it is what it is but they're really great and they're comfortable that's what matters and they tuck in my little c section Shelf love it say that three times fast that's c section shelf C-section shelf okay but we need to talk about someone that did accidentally summon something which is hilarious because Ken right before we're sitting down for recording Ken goes I have something to talk about and I literally look at her I go is it the Katie Santi thing because I have I texted myself the whole thing to talk about oh my gosh and then of course I'm like looking through all of the comments on all of kti sant's posts and I recognize litha is in the comment section I'm like hell yeah the two girls one goes to Universe like we are we are in there so if anyone doesn't know on

9:00

Tik Tok there is this like 30p part series that's been unfolding we're recording this on October 7th so who knows if there's going to be new leads by the time this comes out because two days ago a big thing happened yes so to begin it starts with a woman named Katie Santi on Tik Tok and she posts a video because she's like hey I think my house is haunted there's weird stuff happening my lip balm got moved from my desk things were cluttered and like moved around it just feels like there's a presence maybe that like is trying to mess things up and we just started to dig in our yard so perhaps there's a spirit here who is haunting our house and just like wants its presence to be known cuz her and her husband are putting in a fence so they've been digging holes for the Post MH and before all the Paranormal stuff was happening they found like a shag rug it was the same day it was that earlier that day happened and they were like that's weird was rolled up and it was so far

10:00

underground that they just had like the corner of it and it was clearly the direction that it was going went underneath their fire pit and patio so there was no intention for them to dig up this rug she was simply remarking that it was an odd occurrence what a strange thing to find and then Tik Tok was like Katie what the hell there's a rolled up rug there could be a dead body you have to call the police because also her computer screen had shattered that same night yes that's and and she was like so middle of the night her computer computer is in the office on her desk no one's out there no one's doing anything she comes up there in the morning sees her computer screen is shattered things are moved around and she's like what the hell and so as a joke kind of she posted it on Tik Tok yeah no and then Tik Tok was like call the police she essentially got bullied by Tik Tok into calling the police she calls the police police are like weird okay like we'll look up any cold cases and see if there's any missing persons and see if like this is something worth coming out for and then Katie Falls up again and they're like yeah we're not interested we're not

11:00

coming but then all of a sudden they call and they're like actually we're coming and in the time between when the police first said that they weren't interested and then them saying that they're coming there were hordes of people on Tik Tok and in the community being like we'll bring over a bulldozer we'll help you dig because it was really difficult for just Katie and her husband and also to Katie's Point she was like Hey if the police aren't trying to help here they don't think it's anything yeah like there's only so much of damage I can do to my own property like where she literally would have to to destroy a good chunk of finished property which in the grand scheme of things if you're like there's a dead body underneath like of course you're going to destroy it but she was like I need a little I just need a little bit more reason or like another person like just a few more things need to happen before I'm tearing up my whole fire pit in my yard and the police came with dogs two kadab dogs and they didn't know where in the lawn they found the rug they didn't know anything but these two dogs go and sit sit right on top of

12:00

where the rug is yeah they both Mark exactly where the rug is and Katie was like oh my gosh I hope someone just got like a bloody nose and it like was rolled up carpet or whatever and they just buried it that way bleed all over your carpet and you naturally dig it six feet under the ground well but to people's point they were like dogs Cav dogs are not there to Mark where where there's blood they specifically are trained to smell decaying human bodies so for both of them to Mark in the exact same spot separate dogs they were not like brought out together buddies both sitting together like they had separate searches and for both of them to Mark was odd so then immediately there's CSI there's like I don't even know there's like three different teams that come out everybody's digging the gbi goes we were invited I'm [ __ ] G gbi you want the GB and I ghost Bureau I thought you talking about Georgia Bureau of Investigation I was like they plant

13:00

buau ghost ghost Bureau of Investigation yes we do wish we were there but basically this whole series you can hear a lot more details if you look at Katie sandry's Tik Tok series but essentially what happened was up until this point on this day October 7th they come they grab the rug the professionals the police they uncover it and there's nothing in the rug so she's like that's it oh well too bad our fire pits destroyed no body but like thank God oh well the neighbor had died a while ago maybe it's the neighbor who's haunting this area but I was deep in the comment section on Tik Tok and people did say that there have been other cases where there's been like a rug and then the body is even further underground so that the rug can be kind of like a red herring like you first to do that or the body was first in the rug decaying in the rug then taken out of the rug rug rolled up buried again yeah

Stages of Demonic Activity

body somewhere else and so people are

14:00

wondering if the body again Kitty would have to destroy more of her property but both of the dogs were very interested in the deck and they marked right at the side of the deck which is also where the rug was and so people are wondering if the body was buried maybe a few feet over underneath where the deck was built we don't know maybe there will be more updates when this comes out but it started with haunting which is like this person's Spirit whoever it is is clearly trying to get Katie's attention and be like hey you just discovered the rug you're so close to finding me this is the first time in forever that anyone has come close to my body like help me or it's just a weird timing and the a ghost was passing through and didn't like the computer and just broke it and then moved on seems odd seems also Katie said like all she knows is that the previous owners are the only ones who ever own the house they're 90 years old and they moved into a home like a nursing home right and she her realtor good friends with that couple 's daughter so they were asking the

15:00

daughter but people were like oh my god did these people have something to do with it and now they're on their like close to the end of their life thinking they're about to get away with it and it's all golden state killer style I know but let's not maybe they had nothing to do with it maybe it was just a ghost passing through who's ruffled up and uh riled up Tik Tok yeah which you know what I don't know though two cadaver dogs both marking I know that's the part that really convinces me that there's something there's a dead body somewhere on that land yeah so stay tuned okay part two of this moral possession now that intentions have been set we're ready yes we are so West Pittston Pennsylvania we have demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren who are called to this down to help a family the smurl family who had been experiencing a lot of Haunting activity for many many months and it had progressed to the point where it was clearly AP Poltergeist and the family was in danger the very first night that

16:00

the warrant were there it was clear that there was this dark demonic energy it had taken up residence in this home and this would take more than one night for the Warren to banish didn't they do like a whole session and then they were like heading out the door and be like we'll be back cuz this weend one of many the smls were like few the warens came and saved the day and the warens were like we we've been here for a few hours this is going to take a hell of a lot more time don't get ahead of yourself yeah when it comes to exorcism cases It is believed there are four demonic stages the first stage is infestation so this is your typical haunted house stuff this is like hearing footsteps and bells and hearing voices and there's like weird odors drawers are opening objects moved around your computer screen broken after finding a rug yes so that would indicate to most people that they're amongst Spirits right the second stage is oppression and Obsession so the activity will amp up in the house and instead of just objects being affected now people

17:00

are being affected so people will be scratched they'll be marked they'll feel really anxious super depressed people will start fighting people will start to feel more isolated there's physical attacks which was the daughter that was kind of the Sandra or Shannon was the one that got hit by the sh okay well she was thrown down the stairs and also got hit by the chandelier correct yes yes in Obsession and oppression things can also lead to sort of these problems financial problems it really just starts to like ooze out throughout the entire family and what would have been kind of just like a normal haunting becomes something that people obsess about so the people that are afflicted by it like it's all consuming it's all they can think about they're obsessing about the activity in their house they can't just leave go to school go to work and forget about it stage three possession once a person is broken down enough after fighting for months or sometimes even years the demon has weakened them to the the point where the demon is able to occasionally take over

18:00

the person possessing them and then stage four death oh [ __ ] I guess that makes sense yeah it's the ultimate goal of the demon take every bit of life from someone and then move on to the next person and then find their next victim so at this point in the story The smls are likely around stage two in the obsession and oppression stage of the Demonic attack okay so there's got two more to go yeah yeah yeah they're only halfway through no one's died yet so the smls were likely entering stage two of the Demonic attack and after the warrants had initially coaxed the demon out and tried to drown it in holy water and prayers the warrants left the SML home but with an ominous warning that the smls needed to be hypervigilant they needed to do everything that they could to protect themselves against the demon and while the Warren weren't there that was the expectation of them while the Warren weren't there the Warren would be actively working toward W coming up with a plan to help the smals so basically

19:00

survive so the recommendation is not to leave the house like they are supposed to continue living their life in this house with the knowledge that there is a demon still actively trying to possess one of them yes and we will see how leaving the house doesn't help at all okay I was going to ask yeah okay good so the SMS were advised to say this one particular prayer in phrase whenever they started to feel fearful in the name of Jesus Christ in the blood of Christ I command you to leave and return to where you came Lorraine told them Lorraine Warren told them to go to a church stock up on a bunch of religious items get holy water get candles get incense frankincense like do all that sort of thing get everything that they could get which I think we talked about this in part one but just to say it again because I feel like this is a good time to say it if you are experiencing Dark Energy around you yes you can turn to Catholic symbols and Idols but we are very much of the belief that utilizing something that speaks to you specifically is going to be the most

20:00

powerful and your familial line you know so yeah whatever draws you in in this case the smls were a Catholic Family and Ed and Loren Warren were also Catholic right so that's what they it worked out that it all was Catholic items so while Ed and Lorraine were very powerful and had experienced many different cases like this they also advised smurls to bring in a priest cuz although Ed was the only non-ordained priest to be able or non-ordained Exorcist they still wanted the help of a priest so they were like hey also call as many priests as you can let's get this house exercise let's just thr everything we can at this house so the SMS were advised to be aware of a few hot spots in their home as well for Janet and jack it was in their bedroom there was a closet for Mary and John their bedroom closet that is where the entity liked to lurk and that is basically where it would wait and also cross between the two interesting homes

21:00

yeah oh okay that makes it's a duplex sh the wall I'm sure it's like a Mir uh layout floor plan yeah that very night the family went to their respective rooms and they're trying to sleep after Ed and lra and the rest of the team leave and Karen and Shannon are together in their bunk beds and they lie there awake frightened talking to one another as knockings start tapping on their bedside wall so just moments after they try to rid The House of the demon activity starts again a few walls over Jack and Janet experience a different form of Haunting and taunting Janet was slapped the sound of the smack sounded like leather hitting bear skin it was like it was they compared it to like a leather whip hting be this first attempt of ridding the house of this

22:00

dark entity almost aggravated it more yes it it like slinked away and was like oh I'll be quiet until everyone leaves and then I will come out and attack the smls for doing this the smls also that name is I don't know why but it's like the perfect name for a possession there's something about it that screams possess me sorrys out there so Janet gets hit her bare skin gets hit and then it strikes her again and this time it's so hard that Janet like literally Yelps she's screaming in pain the air then swirls around her and Jack and the two grip onto each other they're desperate for safety Jack's feet are now tickled so Jan's getting slapped Jack's being tickled I'd rather be tickled I mean it's creepy but I think I'd rather that than the slap yes but I think this is kind of like well I don't know I think I really long dark dirty demonic nails that are rotting well it's also one of those things where in the last episode in part one there was a part where the entity was trying to rip her from the bed and was try to hold Jack Still to

23:00

not be able to help her this time Janet's being slapped and Jack is so incredibly dickish his feet are being tickled so now he also again can't help her so it's like doing anything and everything that it can it's like showing that it has multiple hands truly literally to yeah literally multiple hands to make sure that even if they're right next to each other in the same bed they can't help one another and they can both be attacked jeez Jack is struggling to maintain his grip on Janet and he flinches and he squirms and he's being tickled and Janet continues to be slapped and she's yelling for Jack this time and the walls are banging but it's not a normal banging it's like this deep echoey banging like it sounds coming from like hell yes yeah 100% like the inside of a drum or something it feels like their room is sinking beneath the Earth and into the depths of hell that's how it felt these deep loud bangs and it's just like the air is swirling around them it feels like they're starting to fall it kind of reminds me of the scene in the Poltergeist the original where they're in the girl the child's bedroom and all the toys and

24:00

everything's being sucked into the closet other world terrifying why did I go to halloweent town where it's like all of the Lost items go to that one house all the socks yeah that's the delightful version yeah so then the TV that's unplugged turns on and Jack In a very Zach began's moment demands that the entity show itself so they could have a fair fight so he taunts this entity once more he threatens it the knocking continues and Jack is able to leave the room he goes and he checks on his children and they're all awake they're terrified they also hear the sounds of the banging it's all throughout the house Simon the poor dog Paces back and forth in front of each of the kids' room trying to protect them as best as he possibly could despite all the times he's been attacked himself what a sweetie 3:00 a.m. strikes and the knocking stops but Jack and Simon they stay up together patrolling the Halls protecting their girls Janet went out and she purchased the religious items the next day and she visited a priest

25:00

and she was like hey can you come over can you please bless our house we're experiencing a lot of [ __ ] and we need your help she didn't say [ __ ] she's religious but the priest became a bit skittish which is so unfair you're supposed to be brave and help people they're human they're human as well you're supposed to fight the demon though he didn't want to do it so instead of going and blessing the house he's like how about I just bless all these items that you're purchasing and you can bring these blessed items back to your house so he basically blessed them but he blessed them without holy water and then ran away so he was just so scared so she was rejected by this priest yes the energy in the in the the energy in the wh stupid too much Shrek Is Now British the entire family was just super on edge obviously they had been for months and they never really knew when they would experience another encounter when something would happen when they'd be physically attacked when sounds would just like bust out of the walls and

26:00

their items were constantly going missing too and when Don had noticed the oldest daughter when Don noticed her makeup was missing she is also now at not the makeup not not the makeup so she and a a similar to her dad like had this freak out and she yells I know why you took my makeup it's because you're ugly Don I love you the best [ __ ] you demon yes ever don't [ __ ] with teenagers no they will hurt you where it they will hurt really get you where it hurts yes banging started again throughout the house as soon as Dawn made this threat well is it a threat or is it just an insult Dawn started what could be a rap battle yes like a a Mean Girls Middle School fight but before the rapping could start Janet stepped in she quickly grabbed a tape recorder and she pressed Record She was like we need to collect evidence this is some of the things that they were taught by the Warren I wonder if you can listen to any of this stuff I know I'm so curious it's got to be the a

27:00

collection somewhere she presses record and she states I want to communicate with you and then she's like holy [ __ ] what am I doing but still she continues on and she goes knock once for yes and twice for no okay nothing happens she says do you understand she asks twice do you understand no response not willing to give up yet although she's [ __ ] her pants Janet moves on and asks are you here to harm us no one knock no that means yes the answer is yes she and Dawn are standing there wide eyy and Janet proceeds by asking do you believe in Jesus Christ do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart so she and Don are that was such a hard pivot away from singing Just okay now we're back back to the story so they ask do you believe in Jesus Christ and all of a sudden all down the Halls violent bangs boom boom

28:00

boom boom boom boom boom it's moving up and down the Halls like it's freaking the [ __ ] out and it's running and sprinting and the vibration is so intense that Janet literally was flung she was leaning against the wall and the

The Smurl Family's Struggles: Attacks and Hauntings

wall vibrated so much she was like shoved forward and flung against or off of the wall didn't the Warren say there were like eight Spirits or something like that there were three other Spirits there was an older woman who was confused there was like a middle-aged man who was like kind of mischievous and then there was another woman who was up to no good and kind of down to help the demon so the demons are gathering there's there's a team yeah so Dawn is cowering on the bed as her mom is being thrown from the wall and after four minutes of the banging it finally stopped and they're begging it to stop the whole time too like they are freaking out of course so Janet now had a giant Target on her back she communicated with it and she reminded it of the person that they did not like to hear about and that was JC

29:00

ww JC should we be youth pastors no okay I would be a terrible eth Pastor I just want to be able to say JC often and I feel like that's the only scenario where it makes sense you you could say for um let's see uh just chilling JC JC JC JC JC JC why am I doing this it's shk it's not me it's wck so not much time went by and Janet was attempting to relax in a bath why she dared to take a bath I do not know but the warm soapy water is pooling around her neck and she's trying to relax and trying to forget about everything that happened in the house when suddenly she becomes acutely aware that she's not alone in the bathroom there's a whistle the worst place I can't do much more than that I got one note the sound of it fell heavy

30:00

and ominous almost predatory and she screamed and Jack Sprints upstairs to her Aid staying with her until she finishes the bath so just the ominous whistle and that was it and feelings of negativity when it was time to go to bed Jack dozed off immediately and he'd been so exhausted fighting with the demon who constantly worked to drain him of the energy that he basically passed out but he woke up twice this night and both times that he woke up he was paralyzed again and unable to move in this sort of sleep paralysis State both times he saw two women in the room with him one in her 20s and the other in her 50s both in old dresses wearing Bonnets and chatting to one another could these two women be the two women that Lorraine and Diane had spotted interesting the second time they appeared the second time he woke up one turned and looked at Jack and SM merked an ominous warning a warning of

31:00

what was to come the Warren sent out a team of researchers so they wanted to help them and although the warrants couldn't physically be present every single time they had many people that worked with them and for them and so they sent out Ricky and Jason Ricky and Jason they arve to the smal house to assess how much worse it has gotten they set up tape recording the fact that they know they're like yeah it's definitely going to be worse it's not going to be better it gets worse before is better they set up tape records everywhere and they explain what they're doing to the Sorrels and that the Warren basically meet every investigation with skepticism and even though they agree to take on the case and they fully believe that you know like there's something happening here they just need to capture as much evidence as possible to be able to continue and have this physical proof of Paranormal Activity sure and maybe learn more about the spirit and how to tackle it totally and the recorders can be helpful because then they can capture sounds of voices EVPs bangings like they can understand what's going on right they also would record in their

32:00

notebooks any findings and this is a very thorough thing that they do every five minutes these two men would open up a journal and they would log anything that had happened in the past five minutes so if nothing happened they would write nothing happened but if something happened they would say loud wrappings on the doors provoked by X Y and Z yeah exactly so basically the point of this was to see when things happened if there was a sort of pattern patterns yeah yeah totally it when it gets more intense this is a scientific study of demons and it was so these foul odors were wafting through the house and banging were happening on the walls so Jason and Ricky they are experiencing this and they're writing it down in their notebook and they left certain that there was a demon in the house and they were only there one night jeez imagine living there for years they experience this so with the New Evidence the Warren decided to bring in more help more people they arrive and they do a walkthrough of the house and everything

33:00

else that's happened and they go upstairs they go to Don's room and Lorraine hears rapping and scratching on the window and so Lorraine looks up into the window and she sees staring back at her a dark Mass it was the demon exposing itself to Lorraine that very evening a priest came called upon by the Warren so this time the Warren brought they know who to bring yeah and this priest came to bless the house once the priest had left the group decided let's get out of the house so the Warren and the smls and the rest of the people that were there to help they go out for dinner for one last moment of Peace before they were to try to provoke the demon and draw it out again that night okay after dinner last supper after dinner they return to the duplex and Ed makes his way upstairs to the primary bedroom and this is where the spirit is said to pass between the duplexes the air is frigid the spirit was clearly there Ed begins a prayer but this time he didn't get far because the

34:00

spirits were ready to attack invisible fingers wrapped around his neck choking him squeezing him squeezing his throat so much that his voice was like squeaky trying to get out the prayer until he literally couldn't make a noise he was truly being strangled and despite investigating thousands of hauntings Ed this time was like this is the first time I've ever been strangled by a spirit I'm not sure what to do so he does jeez after flailing a bit and like gasping for breath he does the only thing he can think of and he envisions the white light of JC around him that his body was glowing with protection look this episode you get to say JC as many times as you want it's kind of similar to the ribbon wrapping technique actually s like yeah he was envisioning this light just wrapping around him and encasing him and this was a form of religious resistance so it begins to work so he's picturing this the is being sucked out of him yes he's alone they were both he and L were like walking around the house doing their own thing

35:00

doing their own thing looking around the hands loosen slightly and Ed continues to Envision this light this is when a fellow researcher who's also wandering the house walks by and notices that Ed is being attacked so he runs in and he begins to pray over Ed because what can you do it's not like you can fight an invisible force pull the hand off yeah so he's standing there over Ed and he's also praying and eventually they win anded gasping for breath hands are released cross in hand Ed continues to each room planning to complete the religious provocation a prayer and a banishment in every single room despite having just been strangled so the very next room that he enters starts dropping in temperature dramatically and within a minute it is now 30° colder 1 minut 30° 30° colder Ed saying Hail Marys and demanding that the demon leaves and in the mirror a thin thread manifests and starts to spell out a reply it says You

36:00

Filthy bastard get out of this house the smell of rotten eggs filled the room and Ed continues to pray until this Demon's message and smell starts to fade away from the room downstairs one of the researchers Brady who had been filming he was suddenly grabbed by his shoulders and he was tossed around a bit this is a very physical entity and every 's getting tacked it doesn't matter if you're one of the main investigators or just someone random who came along he's starting to feel like this tingling around his body too as he's being like thrown back and forth he said it felt like electricity was being pulsed through his body essentially like he was being feasted on like he felt the energy being removed and sucked from they all had their last supper and the demons were like our last supper is about to begin too slurp up your soul Jes um Lorraine prayed for Brady and the demon seemed to release him but it did not leave it simply diverted its attention back to the SML family now so over that

37:00

next week Jack Was Bitten three separate times bitten bitten three separate times basically they were saying it was like it was mocking the Holy Trinity Mary saw a dark figure Simon the dog was levitated in the air poor Simon on another occasion Janet watched Simon completely disappear in front of her eyes and then rematerialize and he when he came back he was howling in pain like he was being ripped into another world and back and it hurt him badly oh no poor baby The Entity would continue tormenting them as the Warren's team continued to investigate and log all of the evidence every 5 minutes log what's happening they're gearing up for potential exorcism June 21st summer solstice the longest day of the year the most sunlight be the least spooky yeah means something good if only the Sun never set that day because when it did they went to bed and SML awoke in a panic an older woman appeared in front

38:00

of him her skin was pale white and dusted in patches of open [ __ ] swords and odd Serpentine likee scales like she looked a little bit like a snake with like I imagine this scaly yeah pattern on the scabs her hair was white and long her eyes were red her mouth and gums a decaying green around her sharp pointy teeth her body looked to be of a woman much younger but her face was disgusting and Jack could not scream he could not move he was paralyzed stuck there in his bed as he had been many times before yikes but this time would be different and this is a Content warning for sexual

Content Warning

assault the demon approached the bed it crawled into the bed up Jack's body stopping and planting itself on top of him jack is helpless he's terrified his heart is pounding he's sweating he thinks the world is about to end and

39:00

this demon assaults him Jesus the demon climaxes twitching and smiling down at Jack as she does and then she vanishes Jack's paralysis ends the demon had a okay and Jack is covered with its excretion slimy thick sticky I'm sorry but I can't stop thinking about the manual that I was given at church where it was like Family Planning I keep getting this because this is what the picture looks like where it was like based on your time of the month yeah like the secretions look different yeah colors like it's thick and creamy do this to see if it's sticky yeah good to know if you're trying to get pregnant yes natural family yeah so it's absolutely disgusting it's all over him and it smells rancid his penis was so sore that he actually

40:00

wondered if he had passed out from Fear during the attack and that if it happened a lot longer than he remembers it happening because his whole body was so achy and his penis was really uncomfortable that is so sad and so horrendous and unfortunately it does go the other way around too oh no not to the kids not to the kids not to the kids but the kids were not safe either because that very next morning at breakfast his oldest daughter Dawn starts to tell her dad like I had the worst nightmare ever I had this nightmare that there was this old hag that was oozing sores that attacked you and started to have sex with you oh so like she almost made everyone watch it mhm she implanted it in their dreams so somehow Don had been shown what had happened and so now Janet is done she's like I am so done with this I have been trying everything and I'm asking all of the local churches for help that day she

41:00

bypassed the local priests because they hadn't been doing anything for her and she went straight to the dases of Scranton Pennsylvania and she spoke to Father Callaway so ring ring ring hello dicese this is Janet oh this is Father Callaway oh thank god father Callaway I have something to tell you so she that's exactly what happened so she tells father Callaway all of the details and he offers to go to the chancellor to help them make the case for an exorcism and the smrls were thrilled and Jack calls a friend because he knew several people that had worked in the dases office and he calls one of these friends to tell him the news and he's like oh my gosh father Callaway has finally agreed to help us we're finally getting somewhere and the friend is really confused and it's like Father Callaway there's no father Callaway oh my God stop it and they're like perhaps Janet had heard the name wrong and so the friend hung up and called the dicese and then called Jack back and said no there is no father Callaway I just double

42:00

checked it's a fake call and Janet's like no it was father Callaway who I spoke to and they called from the phone at home they called from the phone at home so who had she been talking to Smart demon the friend concerned gave them another name father EMT Doyle also this is reminding me of The Conjuring I was thinking the exact same thing except in that way it was positive where it got paranormal investigators to go investigate the house yes but this was J demons trying to prevent any actual help from the dases well the demon didn't need to do that because this is kind of a [ __ ] on the Scranton dicese episode because they weren't very helpful at all spoiler alert [ __ ] the G gbi and the Scranton dicese sorry I'm coming in hot this episode paint me green and give me a microphone okay so father EMT Doyle Janet calls the dicese again and specifically asks to speak to Father

43:00

Doyle this time and father Doyle he listens to a case he promises that he will call back the next day with some next steps mhm but he never does the

Seeking Help from the Church

church would not help them they had to figure all of this out on their own and the hauntings would continue there would be wrappings on the walls extreme temperature swings paralysis the sound of hooves and large Wings on the ceilings all happening almost daily can I say something almost in favor of the Scranton dicese not in favor but like what if the second call they didn't actually get in touch with EMT Doyle like what if the demon heard the name that the friend had given and just again

The Haunting of the Smurl Family

mimicked another voice it's a nice thought but in the future of this episode there's going to be some media pressure and the Scranton dases is still gonna say bad so sad Janet would be the next victim of an incubus or succubus this time in incub just like Jack had been attacked by the succubus yeah and a new

44:00

haunting now the oinking of pigs they would hear pigs all over the house so when the warrs heard of this update the oinking pigs and the incubus and succubus attacks they felt that this truly could not get any worse this is the peak of demonic activity like possession is about to happen possession is about to happen they are like this is barely how is this even stage two this is like you're about to be thrust so hard into stage three the Roman Catholic Church may have not helped them but that would not stop the smrls and the warrants from planning an exorcism so there was a priest that did agree to help them and this priest was from Monroe Connecticut his name is Father McKenna look at this picture of him he kind of looks like he would be in a rap battle doesn't he he looks bad do I know that name was he involved in another case with the Warren I think they used him often cuz I that name sounds really familiar well cuz he wasn't even local they called on him because con is that haunting Connecticut area it could be

45:00

interesting cuz I feel like we've talked about far from theing house either in Rhode Island sure huh it might be haunting and connected God that episode so long ago I don't remember any of the details well I hardly remember what we talked about last week how you not done a refresher and it was my answer so father McKenna he had broken away from the church 25 years prior because he was disagreeing with some of the changes that we were making like he wanted maass to be said in Latin like he he was old school and he was pretty badass so they contacted him and he agreed to help with this case the evening before the exorcism three figures appeared in front of Jack and Janet's bed and Jack once again laid there paralyzed the same women with their Bonnets and their old dresses and now a middle-aged man so the three spirits that Diane and Lorraine had first sensed when they came into the sml's house all three of these Spirits are huddled together and they're talking likely discussing what to do with the

46:00

smls the trio then turns to Jack laughing and pointing and the man spoke you'll pay for this mourning and the exorcism could not come soon enough the spirits in the house would not go down easy the Warren were supposed to join them for the initial exorcism but the demon tried to do anything it could to make sure that they could not arrive oh no And So It interfered we so Ed and the rain they're driving down ready for this exorcism and Ed is suddenly Afflicted with this crazy sharp pain and it's so bad he's like doubled over they can't possibly continue and so they make the hard decision to turn around and go home but the exorcism would not be stopped screw you demons got to happen yes it's got to happen The Show Goes On also sorry demons I didn't mean to say that but also screw you but I'm scared I'm not Fiona is more open to you no excuse you I didn't say

47:00

that like don't even conjure anything and you just send them my way oh man fair fair fair fair I will take them on so the exorcism would happen and that very Night Janet and Jack prepare the house for the exorcism they open every door every cabinet they're making sure every single corner is exposed and then father McKenna arrives With Many religious tools accompanying him and he plans his route through both sides of the duplex okay he speaks in Latin the entire time he's going to banish the demons in the name of the Lord with his Rosary in hand holy water flinging out in front of him into all of the nooks crevices dark Corners every single inch of this space as he moved through the home the house reacted cabinet doors open items around them are vibrating the sound of a young child crying above them Father McKenna ignores it he continues well yeah there's no child in the house so not going to go up there Relentless

48:00

in the face of evil this man the house eventually settles and the child becomes quiet it appears to have worked at least for that night weakening this entity father McKenna would not leave them without additional help so he filled up a bucket of water and left them with this large volume of water that he then blessed and made into holy water and he was like use this liberally I'm giving you as much as you could possibly hopefully need and there's always more need it use it could you do that where like you fill every tub every sink and plug the drain and then bless it so that they're all filled with holy water like all the water in the house is blessed probably I'm sure but then I'd be nervous about putting it well I guess the same as a bucket like can't they just knock over the bucket like how do you protect the holy water I'm not sure but they're left with this big bucket of holy water instructed to use it whenever

49:00

they want as liberally as possible and it's good that they were left with it because the activity obviously did not stop I imagine like the second father McKenna left it was just all hands on deck again yeah and that's kind of the way it always went so the demon is now pulling out all of its stops to try to cause chaos and divide amongst all of these family members it's hiding clothing it's throwing earrings it's doing whatever could to scare the kids and and make the girls bicker and fight with amongst one another and it's also making them really suspicious of each other so it's like you know why did you take my dress why you take my ear my shirt exactly so all four Spirits or three Spirits I guess in the demon appear to the family members taunting them now scaring them inflicting pain on them Mary SML The Matriarch Jack's mother she is struggling immensely with these haunting her mental health just cannot take it she cannot bear it and she becomes a bit reclusive she becomes

50:00

really quiet yeah she would basically go in between these bouts of almost like spacing out and not talking to anyone to just completely sobbing I mean it sounds like a possession it does it also sounds like postpartum depression like that kind of sounded like me but she was scared to death but the morals had been advised not to talk about the entity do not give it recognition and they were trying their best to ignore it but with that was happening with Mary and with the girls and with all of them they're like oh we have to communicate with one another and try to figure out what to do to help each other and so they would huddle in the garage and Whisper to each other because I don't think anything was happening in the garage they like maybe they can't hear us there and so they were just doing desper I mean that probably wasn't the case but they were desperate and they were like seems like the same Choice it's interesting because I feel like we've heard A variation of recommendations when it comes to not talking about like not talking about dark entities mhm do they get more power by you not talking about it cuz don't

51:00

they want to isolate you and but then also saying their name and speaking about them gives them more power it's like it's almost like the what you're supposed to do is just completely ignore it and be fine but how do you do that but how do you do that it's impossible to do that yeah right so no space in this house was safe and that was clear da narrowly escaped an attack from an incubus while showering one day oh God she broke free and she ran down the hall to her parents thank God Janet experienced another Incubus in the tub as well and this time she actually physically saw it so the first time that she was attacked she didn't see anything but this time she saw it it was small it was 3 feet tall and it was covered in this gelatinous substance it was like oozing goo ew ew ew the physical violence would continue Janet woke up to deep gouges dug into her arm Mary had the same thing happened to her and Jack was levitated in bed again this time thrown across the room instead of just dropped down into his bed what's the time period of this like how long is this going on for it

52:00

was like something like 18 months to 3 years or something like that I don't know exactly where we are this is so long yeah they were there for a while I mean it also reminds me of when we did talk to Andrea perin she was like this

The Exorcism Attempts

was happening on over so many years that yes when you put all of what happened in one book or three books it seems like so much but when you put it over 10 years of time it's like we'd go weeks without being quiet and nothing happening yeah but you know it's there you do it's waiting their youngest daughter Karen SML became extremely ill she dropped a ton of weight she was running a really high fever she ended up needing to be hospitalized and everyone was like oh my God could this be an attempted possession so Simon Simon is that you so basically I think it's safe to assume that the bottle or I guess the bucket of holy water was probably going down and down and down and down and being used quite frequently right it was time for them to

53:00

get out of the house so the family decides let's leave for the weekend and go camp in the Poconos we love camping in the Poconos despite being far away from their house the SML still felt a bit unsettled I mean if Ed is attacked miles and miles away while driving to the house of course this thing has power and a far reach exactly and it freaking did there was is air of evil around the entire campsite and many strange things would happen on the campground their dog Simon became quite reactive and Jack noticed in the distance during the daytime that there was a teenager just kind of looking in on their camp this was a blonde teen and she was standing across from their campsite staring at them smiling and Simon went berserk and this was a very friendly dog so the fact that he was reacting to a child I mean he was on edge probably from months months being attacked at home but this was odd so Simon's going berserk and

54:00

Jack is staring at this teenager and over the next few minutes the girl would just disappear and then reappear and Jack's he's like are my eyes playing tricks on me he's like blinking and watching this happen then eventually he just the teenager disappears for a long enough time that he pivots his attention elsewhere and later that night after midnight the entire family wakes up to hearing a voice call from across the lake help me help me how can you not go try to help of course they leave their tent and they go to investigate just a few of them but no one was there on the walk back to the campsite there was a large dumpster that was picked up and was spinning violently and this is when it became extremely clear to the smls that there was not just a teenager wandering by the camp there was not someone who was calling for help they were followed and the demon was here my question is I mean we get so many emails from listeners about hauntings at campsites or while

55:00

they're camping I mean think of the other campers that are there this weekend this trip who were like oh my gosh this campsite is haunted but it's actually the SML family who haunted the campsite yeah because the demon is no longer attached to their house to the duplex it's attached to the SM so they cannot be safe anywhere the night they got home from camping Shannon was attacked she was levitated in her bed and assaults like this just continued Shannon seemed like easy prey she was the one that was thrown down the stairs as well she the youngest no that was Karen but they were both they were twins so they were B by like 3 minutes maybe not the youngest so not long after the levitation she was thrown from her bed and smacked against the wall Jesus she crumpled to the ground cowering in pain and fear she was sobbing and the spirit spoke it said one strike two strikes three strikes you're out okay he likes baseball baseball the attack woke everyone in the house even

56:00

John and Mary on the other side of the duplex ran over because they heard it and they heard the crying in the thud and this time John SML Jack's father brings over a new tool with him he had a crucifix that had a thread of JC's robe inside okay the closest thing they had to God so they were like we need this right and it was clear they were now approaching St stage four of demonic attacks there's infestation oppression possession and death so maybe they were skipping over possession or maybe they were experiencing some of it but what was clear was this demon was now trying to kill them I mean I feel like they were possessed in the sense that the home was the vessel almost and then it did become a member of their family yeah it almost feels like it's going between all members right including Simon yeah well and too I just keep thinking about like Karen in the hospital and Mary in her State like maybe they both

57:00

were experiencing the possessions so this Relic this crucifix is left in Jack and Janet's side of the duplex but it was not enough to weaken the attacks Janet is attacked Once More by an incubus she had this really horrible headache so she laid down on the couch and she's kind of like dozing off and she wakes up to this sort of like suggestive touch someone is kind of caressing her thigh she opens her eyes and it stops and nothing is there and so

Content Warning

then she closes her eyes again she's about to drift off to sleep when she feels the hands again return this time caressing her belly she wakes up and then is attacked jeez hands around her throat she's choked violently so violently that her eyes started to see stars her vision starts to go black she's losing Consciousness she might die holy [ __ ] Simon the hero dog ran into the room and started leaping and snapping at this

58:00

invisible force leaping through the air over Janet's body trying to snarl and bite at anything Janet is now in complete darkness she's basically passed out almost she's hanging on to any life that's being choked out of her and she remembers what Ed had said when he had been choked upstairs so she starts picturing Jesus reaching out to her and she accepts his Embrace and the more she pictures it the stronger and brighter and clearer the image becomes almost as if she wasn't picturing it at all but instead she was Conjuring JC and he was coming to her Aid and holding her a the hands of the demon start to loosen enough that she regains her vision and she grabs the holy water next to her and she throws it in the air above her the demon then releases her slinking away back into the dark corners of the Home Father McKenna came back again and he blessed every room every family member he blessed Simon he used old traditional ancient Latin prayers for

59:00

exercising the demon and the oldest and strongest prayers that he could find to potentially attack this ageless and Old Demon and the house remained silent the demon did not stir did this work for how long not long okay I was going to say remained silent we've heard this before yeah father McKenna left that night thinking back to when he'd exercised another home where pig bones were found under the foundation and when pig bones had been found there was a forensic pathologist that was brought into that case and they were dated 800 years old so there was this old ritual almost um under theum old yeah underneath this one house that father McKenna had worked on and that was the cause basically of all of this demonic activity so he's like could smls have the same problem right because they heard the pig noises too so they heard the pigs that would I would connect that too right and every exorcism and blessing doesn't seem to work so the second exorcism has failed mattresses and SML family members

1:00:00

continued to be levitated Furnitures moved items smashed objects disappearing knocking on all the walls The Entity is lurking in the bathroom there's Phantom phone calls there's electrical and radio interference there's Incubus and succubus attacks two exorcisms many blessings a constant flow of holy water sprinkled throughout the duplex yet it was as if nothing had happened at all this is like the 12 uh Days of Christmas gift song what's that one on the first day of Christmas love gave to me a p and a p and then this is The Possession version something changed though maybe the Christmas spirit did come and save the day because while the foul odors continued to stain the house there was now a new smell wafting through the property the smell of roses a new spirit encounter just out of nowhere out of nowhere but it's a very holy smell yeah roses in the middle of the night Janet was visited by a spirit who appeared to be an elderly woman her hair was tucked into a neat bun she wor

1:01:00

glasses and a house dress beneath a blue cardigan the woman sat at an old table and she looked at Janet and she smiled but not sinisterly it was nice more as if she had something to tell Janet and Janet In This Moment felt no fear she

Smurls Go Public Public Exposure and New Allies

felt very different than all of the other encounter she had with the demon where it had taken on different forms she felt that this Spirit was different the woman then disappeared appeared and a white gold and blue light came and flashed in This Woman's Place H so the next day Janet encounters the glowing woman again three times in the house so bright this woman had shown before disappearing interesting but the third time she saw her that uneasy feeling returned and Janet's skin crawled and she suddenly felt like maybe this woman did mean her harm no no I now just when you think it's going to be okay or was it the demon now impersonating her could be so that evening steam started to pour

1:02:00

from Janet's mouth was this a trick pulled by the demon or the beginnings of a possession sorry she breathed a fog machine out of her mouth yeah they then called Ed and Lorraine Warren and were like oh my God you didn't think it could get worse I think it's getting worse we want to go public we have to try to get more so they're thinking if they go public maybe there could be someone out there that knows something or it would at least put pressure on the Catholic Church to help them more right and so Ed and Lorraine Warren are like Hey we're about to be on this Philadelphia talk show called people are talking we can bring you along and so Jack and Janet agree they drive to Philly and as they're driving there Jack nearly drives off the road because something is kicking him powerfully just kicking him kicking him kicking him trying to get him to drive off the road so much so the entity was coming along to the talk show they did make it there and they spent

1:03:00

the whole day and night just being drained of energy as the demon is trying to do whatever it can to interfere with them before they are set to be on air but they made it to the television show they made it to set and they shared the details of their story the audience believed them they shared pieces of their own hauntings people got up from the audience and said I've experienced something similar I also have these weird things happen they I feel like it's safe to say very few people have ever experienced what the SML family have experienced but maybe fractions of the hauntings yes yes at least enough to believe right what they're experiencing jeez and so they're asking questions about the sml's hauntings and it felt really good to the smls to be believed to have their fears acknowledged when it was so easy to have laughed at them to be dismissive of them but this group didn't everyone believed them and so the smls returned to their haunted duplexes with a little bit of Hope and Janet is then attacked once more her body is gently floated across

1:04:00

the room until she woke and realized and then quickly she's flung against the wall like a rag doll she's then picked up again her body's pulled she's stretched out she's suspended pulled to she said it felt like she wasn't entirely in the waking world like it felt like she was somewhere in between perhaps where they brought Simon she didn't think that she was fully in her room is that where they put her soul when a demon takes over her body oh I just got chills cuz it's like the stretching feeling where you're being stretched out of your body yeah you know oh my God ew yes I'm like thinking of being put in like a one of those like sensory depriva deprivation tanks oh my God I just stuttered so much over that but yeah so she felt like this was somewhere in between she didn't know where she was Jack had the next encounter a slobbering Pig like creature snarling at the edge of their bed appeared the demon would now take on the images of other family members so it would imitate them impersonate them it

1:05:00

would borrow their voices it would lur other family members into rooms it would hit them it would throw them it would assault them it would clot them it would bite them it would burn them it was going to kill them but maybe first it would try to kill the dog no one night Jack I know one night Jack lay in bed awake when he heard Simon suddenly gasp sucking in desperate to get air into his lungs Jack sits up to check on Simon when his right arm is grabbed so tightly it feels like his arm is being crushed the bone is about to break and shatter and a foul odor fills the room this thing is so strong now so strong Jack grabs the holy water he douses it all over himself The Entity then Retreats from the room and Simon regains his breath whimpering scared Jack encountered the demon again later that night it had taken on many forms but in this moment perhaps it showed Jack its true form it was over 7t tall a humanlike head with an animal snap out and horns brown fur that covered its face yeah its legs looked

1:06:00

like that of a horse it had clawed hands human-like eyes that reflected light just like an animals would and it snarled and it lunged at Jack Jack then turned and sprinted back into his bed and he grabbed the holy water and a prayer book The Demon then jumped on the bed it followed Jack it rushed him but vanished right before it reached him God I'm like when does this end like I'm untable and I'm just hearing it regurgitated like I cannot imagine and this I mean this was a book I didn't even write down all the details there's more and those are just details that even made the book I'm so sorry SML family I know so the demon was upset and its energy and Terror would soon move beyond the smal duplex and into some of the neighbors homes scratching screaming temperature fluctuations doors and cabinets opening and closing tapping noises it was like the demon was close to killing the smals and being done with them so now it was trying to find its next victims it also sounds like it's at

1:07:00

its strongest that it's so strong it can even contain its energy to just the SML duplex totally there were six additional houses now under attack by the same Demon Six one neighbor called the smls six or seven times in a weekend trying to get a hold of Janet and each time they called this little girl would answer and said the smals don't live here anymore and then would start to laugh my God the SMS I don't even want my feet on the ground like the smls have been out of town too they weren't even in town at this point how horrifying right the SMS are then they're like okay yeah the demon does follow us but let's try to escape again so they leave this time for a weekl long camping trip maybe the demon would say behind it's too much of a time would go to Hawaii or I don't know somewhere warm and tropical I would not go camping to the woods terrifying so they thought maybe this demon would relent a little it did not so the smls went public again this time bringing their story to the newspaper and it immediately drummed up a lot of

1:08:00

attention dozens of reporters called numerous people drove by the house and Aug at this haunted house and that week more than 1,600 cars drove by to look at this haunted house see that's the hard thing I I don't know if I would want to say my address I know but I guess different in this day and age too yeah people were kind of crazy though they climbed trees to try to look inside to try to get a view of the Second Story and this was not what the SMS had intended obviously this article they were simply looking like desperately seek more help they weren't looking to be kind of the spectal to to look at they weren't trying to be a show yeah the police had to barricade the house oh my God but this attention that the smals got wasn't for nothing because it did pay off for this is how the smls found Betty an Moore a psychic medium Betty Anne walked through the entire SML home and in the basement a spirit appeared to her a woman named named Abigail in her mediumship Betty Anne would enter a trans-like state allowing her to channel

1:09:00

and communicate with the spirits in the other realm and Betty Anne did that she shook fearfully as she relayed what she had learned Abigail an elderly confused woman this perfectly matched Lorraine's description which was not printed in the Artic say none of this she had no idea yep so this felt like a corroborating fact yeah upstairs in the middle bedroom Betty Anne sensed a man with a mustache named Patrick who died here and he was afraid to move on again matching Lorraine's profile of that male Spirit but Patrick's story was much more detailed with Betty Anne she said that she sensed he had lived there in the 1800s and he had a lot of extreme anger issues he used to lash out his wife and physically abuse her his wife sought comfort and safety in the arms of another man and Patrick caught the two of them in his home together and he murdered them both right there and interesting he beat the man to death he strangled his wife Elizabeth until she

1:10:00

was lifeless beside her lover Patrick his life is soon ended because he's then beaten and hung by a mob outraged by 1800s yeah okay Patrick would not move on because he was fearful of the punishment that he would have once he fully transitioned to the other side I feel like his punishment that he got in the in between is pretty shitty too he's now working for a demon yeah but he gets to strangle people in his free time which apparently he like to do that's true Betty an pointed out an interesting fact and very important detail she said that the image that she saw of Patrick's wife looked a lot like Janet he might be confusing Janet with his wife a very Haunted Mansion interesting so do you think like all of the Demonic activity started happening to the SML specifically because of this connection well no cuz things were happening in that house before but not to this extent not to this extent but also the was the first time in a long time that there was a family that had permanent residence

1:11:00

there before it was like tenants that just like came and go yeah yeah and then the other side of the duplex was vacant so Betty Anne now sens a third Spirit similar to Lorraine and this Spirit who was quote insane dangerous unpredictable and she wasn't sure if it was a man or a woman but this Spirit controlled Patrick and it supported the demon and then there was the demon it sounds like there's like almost like a mid-level lower level tier demon yeah right who's controlling the spirits yes and then working for the higher demon mhm hierarchy jeez the demon that was nearly finished with the smls was sensed by Betty Anne and it was now torturing six other neighbors one evening Jack was in the bathroom when he glanced at himself in the mirror and then he froze in fear staring back at him was a man no not behind him not beside him he was the man yeah decomposing rotting his skin

1:12:00

basically falling off was it a decomposing version of himself I think so okay okay so this is where it marks that there's a noticeable change in Jack and his behavior his skin became pale he became really Shifty really paranoid yes to his family he appeared really depressed but to Jack himself the image of himself in the mirror made him really paranoid of becoming possessed so he was just it put him over the edge jeez so he was waiting for this demon to just basically take him over and once that happened the other stages of the Demonic attack would continue and he was like oh my gosh the last is about to be here I'm going to be possessed and then die yeah so with increased media pressure from the smals going public now twice the dases starts to offer some help but had not yet followed through they're like we'll help you and then just like never made follow follow plans so that when reporters called they be like yeah we offered help yeah tells you he's going to call and he never does yep while the Catholic Church continued to be somewhat useless to the smals the team they'

1:13:00

created along the way banded together and they mobilized they were going to conduct a Mass Exorcism like everyone who's ever been involved yep bringing M everyone numerous priests everyone from church Ricky Billy Joe Betty an yeah all of them names so then the dases stepped in again when they caught wind of this a Mass Exorcism and they said hey we hear you're trying to use numerous priests we won't allow that you can't use our priests rude oh my God gag what so the smls are then like screw you and so they gather 50 friends and acquaintances from church and they have them over for this massive prayer Practical Magic it is the house is filled with these like religious people so during the prayer during this Mass prayer two separate people claim to see the image of mother Mary on the wall but the Paranormal Activity never stopped after this oh then the dicese finally did do something they were like we'll dispatch a priest

1:14:00

fine monor Joseph Brown he'll come stay at your house and investigate the haunting for one night and so the priest he comes in his car he sleeps over the spirits and demons were completely silent nothing happened at all so the priest was like I do declare this house not haunted and the dases says see look waste of time we're not helping you ever again so the smls then call Father McKenna again third time the charm he's already blessed him twice he comes he moves through the entire duplex he exercises the house and when he left friends and church colleagues then came filled the house to have a constant flow of people over the next few days constant prayer basically they were like let's do the exorcism and then let's continue to bring people in bring people in for days and days and days because before it was kind of like people would leave and then within a few minutes it' happen again it would happen again yeah so over the next few days there's constant prayer they would drown the demon and prayer and holy water weaken it and it worked the house soon filled with the scent of Roses again and

1:15:00

weeks went by and nothing happened they continued to pray R scent came back yes interesting they continued to pray the smell of roses continued to appear it wasn't constant with like kind of appear and disappear and it seemed like the fight was over and so now they're approaching Christmas weeks have gone by the srls they're in good spirits decorations were up kids were inviting friends over again everyone's feeling cheerful feeling a little more safe and so again they let their guards down and then it happened in the wee hours of the morning around Christmas time Jack unable to sleep turned on the TV downstairs and he said a prayer and when he finished the demon appeared what a black mass this demon and it was calling for Jack it wasn't giving up hopes on possession Jack is essentially clutching his pearls in this moment but literally he was clutching his Rosary the demon starts to move quickly towards Jack and Jack fumbles trying to move away from

1:16:00

the demon to create some distance between the two of them he backpedal towards the stairs and the demon is closing in Jack is searching fumbling for the handrail behind him not willing to turn his back to the demon in an attempt to bolt up the stairs and the demon moves faster it readies its body it's about to Lunge at Jack Jack is fumbling he's tripping up the stairs he knows he cannot outrun this demon his heart is beating out of his chest his breath is short and quick his shirt drenched in sweat and so he did the only thing he could think to do and he held out his Rosary to the demon he prayed loudly eventually shouting the prayers at the demon and the figure starts to retreat but the hauntings began again and it came in full force they continued to pray they Contin to do everything that they'd learned from the team of investigators and Priests and eventually the hauntings did settle a little a couple years later the smls decided enough is enough we have to move and just see if that works so they moved to a different County and the demon did not

1:17:00

follow the smls were free what who lives there now I have no idea and Google wouldn't tell me maybe someone else will be better at looking it up all that and eventually they move nothing helped literally nothing it just kep coming all of you are screwed if you're possessed that house is the Demon's house okay let's just condemn it leave it be yeah I mean it's the hell house didn't they knock it down uh maybe I think they did I didn't finish watching that documentary cuz I got scared yeah I watched it by myself well I attempted to and then they're like we're about to show the image and it hunts people and I was like never mind I'm not gonna do it hate this hate it so much yeah for so many reasons because there's nothing there's like the conclusion is they moved and that worked but there's nothing that the banish the demon like this is a possession case of a house and a house being exercised time and time again like this is an example of it not working and it's like yes this has a happy ending and I'm really glad everyone in that

1:18:00

family and in that house is okay aside from trauma and [ __ ] that they have to deal with but it truly is just this depressing story of possession that doesn't give you hope at all no and so we made it a two-parter for October yay you're welcome Joy I guess the one piece of Hope is that it did eventually stop I mean moving did work um we don't know what's happening to that demon no who it's got in its teeth right now uh not us yeah do you have a spooky story from someone else who's experienced something hopefully not nearly as bad as this well it's called the demon in Rhode Island okay so not in Pennsylvania and it's from our listener Mina hello background before I start I need to tell you my family and I have always been spiritually aware and I'll start should I end with the

1:19:00

light-hearted yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm a dog begging for the light-hearted story okay so I'll start with the spooky [ __ ] so I was at my cousin Mor's parents house listening to your podcast and every Thursday we have family dinner with all my cousins because I live on the same street so let's call my older cousin let's call her boob okay okay hey boob my older cousin notices what I'm listening to and she freaks out she's like what the [ __ ] are you doing how could you be listening to this [ __ ] in quotes was literally what she said I was on the episode of demons and the ones that have sex with the living I told her I enjoy it and she goes okay but do not listen here so of course I'm like what the [ __ ] why then she tells me that there's a demon in her house and I'm like excuse me the owner of the house my cousin Mor's mom is a [ __ ] and I don't mean regular [ __ ] I mean bad vibes 24/7 her presence literally used to scare me as a child

1:20:00

and make me anxious oh obviously I got older and then started to ignore the bad vibes but I think and my older cousin boob thinks that her negative energy attracted a demon apparently there's a bunch of [ __ ] that happened here the husband woke up to his wife moaning in her sleep morg woke up to three scratches on her arms a couple of nights and her parents told her it was a rash but her dad knew it was paranormal yeah especially three it's a classic yeah classic move this woman would say weird [ __ ] in her sleep and her dad was convinced the demon was after him and trying to kill him he used to tell boob's Mom all of the stuff that happened and she told boob who told me they invited a psychic over and as soon as she entered the house she said the Archangel Michael had his wings around the house protecting it that's great then she got to one side of the house and pointed with fear in her eye saying something bad was over there she told them to be careful and left they never heard from the psychic again anyway I

1:21:00

hate being abandoned T stuff there this person but here's the lighthearted okay it's good that we are ending with this okay this is about my dad's brother when I was growing up I lived in a raised ranch and for the first three years of my life my uncle lived with us I remember everything about my uncle his jokes his car his smell his smile and his voice and he used to tell me how every time I sleep Angels fly around my head so before I went to bed I would try to trick the angels and try to see them I used to have night tears which I don't remember but my mom would tell me I

Lighthearted Story

would sit up my eyes wide open screaming bloody murderer and when my uncle passed away I stopped having night tears to this day I believe that he is the angel that flies above my head and years later my mom allowed me to see a medium I saw her many times but the last time I saw her I was in Middle School and while we were talking I look over and there was an imprint on the bed where she did raiki I asked do you have any other clients today and she responded no that's just your uncle letting you know he's here

1:22:00

that's beautiful one time my mom and I were fighting screaming at each other and all of a sudden we heard this huge thud we thought maybe my puppy had gotten into something so we ran into the kitchen to find my puppy seina sound asleep and the vent from my ceiling had been thrown across the room there was no fan on no AC no heat and my mom and I looked at each other and greed let's stop fighting I been around death and loss from an early age and I've been to mediums and card readers since I was about 12 years old my mom always referred to me as an old soul so since I was young she introduced me to the other side every medium I have seen has literally stopped what they are doing looked me dead in the eyes and said he loves you and is proud of you and he's always right there by your side that is so special yeah when I was about eight years old my best friend passed away from cancer I used to write to her in a notebook and another time with Cindy the medium I go to a lot she told me to stop writing to Amper when I was angry she wants to hear about

1:23:00

when you're happy I did not tell a single soul that I was writing to my best friend so how did Cindy know oh my gosh I just got chills right Shivers all down my body that's also really cute that her friend wanted to know about happy times Well no I know but like just the connection to like just to know that yeah wo so cool my dad is not so supportive of the other side making contact granted he's a 72-year-old Italian greenhorn and it's not that he doesn't believe it's just that he's anti- scary things because apparently my grandmother who was consumed by the Paranormal attracted some scary stuff to their house and my dad claims that one night after my grandmother went to a psychiatric hospital he woke up and saw the devil hovering over him so I kind of get why he's anti-p paranormal but another funny story for you about my dad every Halloween I work in a spooky house and I asked him why he would never come in to see me and this is his story he used to live on Federal Hill in Providence Rhode Island there was an old

1:24:00

Italian woman who had a son and a daughter and Trigger warning apparently the daughter was sexually assaulted by the brother my dad always used to see this woman walk down the street with several garbage bags for a whole month apparently she had killed her son and was disposing of him so they sent her back to Italy for her crimes because she was not a US citizen and my dad and his friends decided to go see this lady's home after it had been foreclosed and abandoned little did he know that his friend was already in there hiding in the closet and he was investigating the house by a window when his friend jumped out to scare him oh my God and my dad literally fell out of the window oh no this is why he never visited me at the haunted house I worked at Jes you guys rock I hope you read this on the show I can't wait to listen love Mina Mina what the heck that is wild that last story is horrifying for so many different reasons I know but it

1:25:00

also not hear about this I feel like this should be like a giant case I mean I guess it's not to be I guess this stuff kind of happens a lot unfortunately it kind of reminds me of the When Tiffany Reese was telling us about the house that her and her friends all went to in Sacramento oh yeah where they would all scare each other but yeah terrifying that is terrifying holy crap there's a lot lot going on there and also I want to say Mina the light-hearted one one was beautiful but you also included some things that were not light-hearted in the light-hearted section like the demon that was attached to and the throwing of the ceiling vent and all that stuff I'm like wait a second her dad waking up to a demon like hovering above him every other sentence was actually in fact not lighthearted so dang and I guess her cousin's house is uh haunted so good luck Mina best of luck Mina it sounds like everyone you know is haunted including you but I love

1:26:00

that Mina has a psychic medium that she goes to all the time Cindy I know yeah one that she actually can go to all the time not one that abandons yes them like in the beginning yeah but to be fair if I were a psychic medium who's doing house calls yeah and I don't know someone but I go to their house and it ends up being terrifying that's true you have no obligation maybe you're just like I'm trying to help you connect with your past dog and your great grandma like that's what I signed up for and who knows if something followed her home and she had nightmares and she's like I'm never going back there again I just cleansed myself tell them she also told them something evil was there like she did what she needed to do she did what she came for I'm sorry that I was rude to you before there's something honestly this paint is making me so itchy I can't believe you're not itchy my nose is uh dripping a little bit yeah I'm dying over here I hope you're not dying because death is the last Every Breath we take is a little bit further to closer to our last yeah that's true
