The paranormal comedy podcast where we probe the famous Ed and Lorraine Warren case that inspired The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. But did the devil make him do it? This is a real life paranormal mystery and a true crime conundrum rolled in to one from 1981 Brookfield, USA. Debbie Glatzel’s boyfriend Arne Cheyenne Johnson would be arrested for the murder of Alan Bono after allegedly receiving a demon or 40 from Debbie’s little brother David. The claim of demonic possession made it all the way to court but how did the judge see it? Tune in to find out more.
