The Devil Made Me Do It: The Arne Johnson Trial

from Paranormal Lens Hosted by Jamie Widener, Chad Thomas and Kirstin Truccano from JOTT-NYX Paranormal

Season 4, Episode6: The Devil Made Me Do It: The Arne Johnson Trial A murder. An alleged possession. An exorcism. And a courtroom defense unlike anything most juries had ever heard. In Season 4, Episode 6 of Paranormal Lens, Kirstin Truccano hosts as Jamie Widener and Chad Thomas join her to examine the case of Arne Cheyenne Johnson—the man whose 1981 murder trial became famous for the claim that the Devil made him do it. Before the murder, the Glatzel family claimed their young son David was experiencing terrifying supernatural phenomena. The case eventually involved Ed and Lorraine Warren, an alleged exorcism, and claims of demonic possession. Then Alan Bono was murdered. What followed was a criminal trial that brought paranormal claims into the courtroom. We'll examine the documented history, the testimony and claims surrounding the case, the role of the Warrens, and the strange path that led from alleged possession to murder and trial. Was this a genuine case of demonic possession? A tragic situation with another explanation? Or a paranormal legend that grew larger with time? Join Kirstin, Jamie, and Chad as we put one of America's most infamous paranormal cases Under the Paranormal Lens.
