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

Hi friends. Happy Wednesday. More importantly...

🎃 Happy Halloween!! 👻

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 — and it’s crazier than the movies ever showed us.

From a convent full of “possessed” 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 what’s real, what’s hysteria, and what happens when... the devil goes viral.
