Summary
A while back, I covered this case live—and it’s one that’s stuck with me ever since. In this episode, we’re revisiting the infamous “Devil Made Me Do It” case, the chilling story that inspired The Conjuring 3. We’ll walk through what reportedly happened to 11-year-old David Glatzel, the controversial involvement of Ed and Lorraine Warren, and the murder that led to the first-ever U.S. legal defense based on demonic possession. Was it supernatural—or something far more human?
