Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

It started with a young boy in Connecticut and a new home with a dark secret. By the early 1980s, what should have been a fresh start for the family turned into a terrifying ordeal of possession, blessings, and exorcisms. When the spirit refused to leave the child, Arnie Johnson did the unthinkable—he invited it into himself. What followed was one of the most controversial murder trials in American history, with a defense that shocked the world: the devil made me do it. Author and paranormal expert Jeff Belanger takes us deep into the real-life horrors that inspired The Conjuring 3, revealing the dark truth behind the headlines, the haunting, and the spirit that refused to be forgotten. This is Part Two of our conversation.
