About this listen

One of these days we'll get back to telling ghost stories, but real quick, can we tell you this absolutely bonkers true story of a weird virgin who summoned the devil?

This is the story of John Dee. Come for the devil's hoofprint, stay for a professional ghost, a good male midlife crisis, this horoscope can't be right, cyclops cowboy, 12,000,000 degrees Celsius, book smart not street smart, and the devil changing a lightbulb.

Thanks to listener Caroline Jones for the research!
