Saubones is a show about medical history, and nothing the hosts say should be taken as medical advice or opinion.

It's for fun. Can't you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil?

We think you've earned it. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth.

You're worth it.

Alright, Tommy is about to books. One, two, one, two, three, four.

Two big big came across a pharmacy with a toy and that's lost it out.

Hello, everybody and welcome to Saubones, a Marl to her misguided medicine. I'm your co-host Justin McElroy.

And I'm Cindy McElroy. It's getting spooky out there.

That's right, Justin. It's a very spooky time.

It's a very spooky time of year and we've reflected that in all manner of ways.

But I think this is the first without without, sorry, investigations of, I believe the episode is called A Real Monsters.

Yes.

That is Riley, where I placed on.

And a few others. But this is the first time that I've seen you, city backroig get a little bit spooked.

That's right, Justin. I definitely did when I was doing research for this week's episode.

I realized, and this will become apparent once we get into it, that this, this is the beginning of many a horror film.

I am the science-based skeptical researcher looking into a supernatural topic with great skepticism.

And I am concerned as to what's going to happen to me over the course of the next week until November and then Halloween's over.

And I won't worry about these things.

But we're going to talk about possession and exorcism.

And I want to thank Grace and Megan and Sarah and Haley and First and Lisa and Courtney and Kathy and Maggie for suggesting this topic.

So Justin, you've probably heard of the concept of possession.
