In 1949, a 13-year-old Maryland boy named Ronald Hunkeler underwent a series of harrowing exorcisms that would inspire the film The Exorcist. Decades later, a young German woman named Anneliese Michel died after enduring 67 exorcism rituals over ten months, a tragedy that led to criminal convictions and became the basis for The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Finally, meet Father Gary Thomas, one of fewer than 175 trained exorcists in the United States, whose Vatican apprenticeship inspired The Rite.

The fourth and final episode of Spooky Season covers a shocking crime from February 16, 1981, when 19-year-old Arne Johnson stabbed his landlord and friend Alan Bono to death at a dog kennel in Brookfield, Connecticut...the town's first homicide in nearly two centuries. When the case went to trial, Johnson's attorney made legal history by arguing his client was not guilty by reason of demonic possession, a defense no American court had ever considered. Behind the headline was a family divided: an 11-year-old boy whose frightening episodes drew the famous paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, and whose brothers still disagree about what really happened.

Our third episode of Spooky Season takes you back to January 1897, when twenty-something Zona Heaster Shue was found dead at the bottom of her staircase in Greenbrier County, West Virginia...her husband's grief just a little too theatrical, her neck just a little too covered. When her mother began receiving nightly visits from Zona's ghost, she brought what she'd been told straight to the prosecutor, setting in motion the only known case in American legal history where a ghost's testimony helped convict a murderer.
