Summary

In 1974 after experiencing financial hardship, Michael Taylor joined a local church in the rolling hills of Northern England. After falling in love with a young, beautiful preacher, Michael’s personality began to change. The mild-mannered family man became abusive and unhinged. His new church believed he was possessed by no fewer than 48 demons and would require an exorcism to save his soul and protect his family from evil. But the supposed remedy would come at a very steep price. The podcast THE DEVIL WITHIN returns with a second season that will send chills down your spine. THE DEMONS OF YORKSHIRE tells the terrifying true story behind Michael Taylor’s brutal exorcisms, and seeks to answer the question, who is to blame for the vicious murder of his wife?
