  • 67 Exorcisms: Anneliese Michel
    Jan 14 2026

    In 1976, a young woman in rural Germany died weighing just sixty-eight pounds.

    Her name was Anneliese Michel.

    For ten months before her death, she endured sixty-seven Catholic exorcisms, formally approved by the Church, carefully recorded on tape, and witnessed by her family and clergy who believed they were saving her soul.

    This episode of True Haunting Files examines the most infamous exorcism case of the modern era—not as spectacle, but as a slow, devastating descent shaped by faith, fear, obedience, and certainty.

    We explore Anneliese’s deeply religious upbringing, her medical diagnoses, and the cultural atmosphere of post-war Catholic Germany. We reconstruct the exorcisms themselves—what happened in the room, why they continued, and what the recorded voices claimed. We analyze the demons said to possess her, the theology behind their identities, and the belief that suffering itself could be holy.

    Then we follow the story beyond her death—into the courtroom, the public outrage, and the Church’s quiet internal reckoning that permanently changed how exorcisms are handled worldwide.

    This is not a story about whether demons are real.

    It is a story about what happens when belief replaces intervention… and when suffering is mistaken for purpose.

    Listener discretion advised.

  • The Ten-Hour Exorcism: Sara Williams and the Violence of Faith (1586)
    Jan 2 2026

    On New Year’s Day in 1586, while Elizabethan London stood frozen between one year and the next, a teenage servant girl was bound to a chair and subjected to a ten-hour exorcism.

    Her name was Sara Williams.

    What followed was not a miracle, but an ordeal. Forced prayers. Induced vomiting. Burning brimstone. A ritual carried out with absolute certainty that pain was proof, and suffering was deliverance.

    In the Season Two premiere of True Haunting Files, we descend into one of the most disturbing and revealing exorcism cases in recorded history. Set against the religious paranoia of Elizabethan England, this episode explores a world where demons were expected, women’s bodies were suspect, and faith routinely overrode consent.

    This is not just a story about possession.

    It’s about power: who had it, who didn’t, and how belief turned a young servant’s body into a battlefield between Catholic and Protestant authority. It’s about how silence became evidence, how confession became survival, and how history preserved the spectacle while forgetting the girl.

    Season Two begins not with screaming demons, but with certainty.

    And the most unsettling truth of all is this: The demon never needed to speak.

  • Episode 10: Amityville: Murder, Haunting, Hoax?
    Oct 31 2025

    SEASON 1 FINALE

    Long before the movies, before the sequels, before the endless retellings, there was a real house on Long Island — a home soaked in tragedy, myth, and the human need to explain the unexplainable. In this 90-minute season finale, Lucien V. Crow takes you beyond the headlines and the Hollywood lore to uncover what truly happened inside 112 Ocean Avenue: the DeFeo murders, the Lutz family’s twenty-eight days of terror, the Warrens’ investigation, and the half-century of fear and fascination that followed. Was it possession, deception, or something that lives between? Amityville: Murder, Haunting, Hoax? pulls back every layer of legend until only one question remains — what, if anything, still stirs inside the house that never slept.
