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 two scary listener stories--including a terrifying encounter with an evil creature--and a strange rain--while on a road trip; and a devilishly anxiety-inducing tale of a NYC subway train.

What scary experiences do you have? What has given you the creepy feeling that you were being watched? What has made you do a double-take to make sure there was nothing hiding in that dark corner of your room? And is it possible that whatever you experienced is something the rational mind can’t simply explain away?
