IN THIS EPISODE: You\u2019ve crawled into bed ready for a good night\u2019s sleep. You begin to nod off, but haven\u2019t completely fallen asleep yet. That\u2019s when you sense something in the room near your bed. Despite your fright, you can\u2019t cry out, run, or scream. The thing then climbs on top of you and suddenly you realize it\u2019s grotesque, but also alluring \u2013 female, seductive, and while you can\u2019t move, your body still responds to her intimate advances. You\u2019ve just become the next victim of the succubus.*** The Devil made me do it" is the oldest excuse in the world; and for nearly every crime it is just that, an excuse. But I said \u201cnearly\u201d every crime. Once in a while there are crimes where the perpetrator is the real deal. We\u2019ll look at real crimes committed by real demons. (The Devil Made Me Do It) *** An exorcism consultant tells us about one of the creepiest cases he was ever called in on. A case very different than other exorcisms he had been a part of or witness to. (The Creepiest Exorcism Case Ever) *** And while on the subject of exorcisms, we\u2019ll exorcise one more demon \u2013 one that is reeking havoc in, of all places, a printing office. (The Demon of the Printing Office) *** Did you know that you are honoring one of hell\u2019s seven princes every time you use the toilet? I\u2019ll tell you about Belphegor \u2013 who prefers offerings of human feces! PLUS\u2026 is a Succubus just sleep paralysis?
