_________________________________________________________________
Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore the infamous, controversial, and creepy “Devil Made Me Do It” case. In February 1981, a young man named Arne Johnson committed a horrific act of violence against his landlord—stabbing him several times in the torso and killing him. What appeared to be an open-and-shut case was anything but, because Arne Johnson claimed he’d committed the act while being possessed by a demon.
Was Arne Johnson possessed by an evil spirit when he killed his landlord, Alan Bono? Or did Ed and Lorraine Warren exaggerate the situation?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore arguably the scariest doll in existence--Annabelle, The Cursed Doll.
The Annabelle movies, part of the larger Conjuring universe, introduced the cursed doll to the masses. And while the movies depict her as terrifying—and murderous—at first glance, she isn’t particularly striking or scary. And, since 1970, she has sat in a glass enclosure at Ed and Lorraine Warren’s Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut—with a warning at the bottom of the case that reads: “Warning, positively do not open.”
But how did a regular Raggedy Anne doll become a harbinger of evil?
Is Annabelle really cursed? Is she possessed by a malevolent force, or is she nothing more than a child’s plaything?

_________________________________________________________________
Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore the terrifying case of Pazuzu Algarad--and the tragedies that unfolded at his hands.
The story of Pazuzu Algarad is truly wild and involves illicit drug use, his version of Satanism, a “to hell with everyone and everything” attitude, and murder. And it’s possible he may have been a serial killer.
Speculation aside, we know for certain he is responsible for the tragic deaths of at least two individuals, Joseph Wetzler and Tommy Dean Welch.
What compelled Pazuzu Algarad to commit these horrible crimes? And could they have been prevented?

17: Spontaneous Human Combustion
The Red Treehouse: Scary Stories to Keep You Up at Night
11/10/23 • 35 min
Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a genuinely terrifying phenomenon--Spontaneous Human Combustion. There's something disquieting about the possibility that a human body--mine or yours--can erupt in flames at any moment, reducing us to nothing more than ash and bone fragments.
What is spontaneous human combustion, and is it a possibility, however rare, that the human body can erupt in flames at any time? Is it supernatural, or nothing more than an oversized myth with a natural explanation?
