Dark History 187: Possessed Nuns, Mass Hysteria, and an Influencer Priest: DH of Exorcisms

Hi friends. Happy Wednesday. More importantly...
đ Happy Halloween!! đ»
Grab your holiest water and close the curtains, because I've got the perfect episode to button up spooky season. We are diving headfirst into the real Dark History of Exorcisms â and itâs crazier than the movies ever showed us.
From a convent full of âpossessedâ nuns shouting filthy things in 1600s France (yep, horny demons and all), to the actual story that inspired The Exorcist, to modern-day influencer priests turning demonic battles into viral moments online⊠this episode has everything: mass hysteria, scandal, religion, fame, and a whole lot of WTF.
So light a candle, clutch your pillowcase full of candy, and get ready to question whatâs real, whatâs hysteria, and what happens when... the devil goes viral.
