REAL EXORCISMS GONE DEADLY: True Cases of Demon Possession That Ended in Tragedy
From the real case that inspired The Exorcist to a man who murdered his wife after priests claimed to cast out 40 demons, these documented exorcisms didn't just fail—they ended in starvation, madness, and brutal death. IN THIS EPISODE: Demonic possession… it’s real – and sometimes even more terrifying than even Hollywood can portray. A demon can take hold in a variety of ways and show itself in a variety of forms. And sometimes, when a case is deemed to need an exorcism, the spiritual battle that takes place can appear worse than the possession itself… both during the exorcism and in its aftermath.
