Summary

In the darkest corners of the human psyche, evil can take root. It can lurk, hidden, waiting until it compels you to commit unspeakable acts. 'The Devil Made Me Do It' is a sinister tale of possession, exorcism, and a chilling courtroom battle. Join us as we delve into the abyss of the supernatural, where demons walk among us, and innocence is just a facade. Prepare yourself for a journey into the heart of darkness, if you dare...

In 1981, 19-year-old Arne Cheyenne Johnson pleaded not guilty to the gruesome murder of his landlord and friend, 40 year old Alan Bono. Initially, the Brookfield Connecticut Police claimed the motive for this murder appeared to be connected to a jealous love triangle, but within days, a bizarre story began to emerge, told mostly by Ed and Lorraine Warren, self-professed demonologists. The Warren’s professed their belief that Arne had been possessed by an evil entity when he had stabbed Bono more than 20 times.
