    The Possession Files: 6 Demons, 67 Exorcisms

    The Possession Files is a Red Treehouse exclusive series, where we go in-depth on the most harrowing--and often tragic--stories of alleged demonic possession. In season 1, we're going to explore one of the most well-known cases: Anneliese Michel. To this point, the line between faith and science, medicine and religious conviction have tracked side by side; but, as the summer of 1975 draws to a close, Anneliese, her family, and religious leaders, will lean into the strong conviction that the only way to save Anneliese was exorcise the demons possessing her. In this episode of The Possession Files, we’re going to explore the exorcisms of Anneliese Michel. Was she truly demon-possessed? And if so, were the exorcisms effective in bringing relief? As Anneliese’s story progresses, we’re going to see that tragedy lies just at the horizon, and every day that passes—and with every exorcism performed—that horizon draws closer. I’m your host, Will; and together, let’s explore The Possession Files: The Trials of Anneliese Michel.

    236: The Moonlit Road (Classic Horror Stories)

    THE RED TREEHOUSE IS DEDICATED TO MY DAD. I LOVE YOU, POP. Join me in The Red Treehouse as I narrate a terrific classic horror story--The Moonlit Road, by Ambrose Bierce. First published in 1907, The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce is a gothic horror story that tells of the murder of Julia Hetman—and the varying perspectives on the event. Part psychological horror, part mystery, The Moonlit Road features unreliable narrators—including the ghost of Julia Hetman. Though one of Bierce’s less-known short stories, to me this is one of his best. With terror at the forefront, we discover how a snap-decision rooted in jealousy can destroy multiple lives—and how the mind may be the darkest and scariest place of all. So, sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Toll-House Follow The Red Treehouse: TikTok/Instagram/YouTube/X: @redtreehousepod Email: redtreehousepod@gmail.com Music: Into the Dark by Shakibhasansayed Sad Rap Beat by Defekt Maschine Learn more about your ad choices.

    234: The Toll-House (Classic Horror Stories)

    THE RED TREEHOUSE IS DEDICATED TO MY DAD. I LOVE YOU, POP. Join me in The Red Treehouse as I narrate a terrific classic horror story--The Toll-House by W.W. Jacobs. First published in 1907, The Toll-House by W.W. Jacobs, is a classic ghost story that tells of four friends who spend the night in an allegedly haunted house. Skeptics by nature, the four undertake the challenge to test their courage. But it’s been said, “if you play with spirits, they may play with you...” And for Jack Barnes, Meagle, Lester, and White—they soon realize exactly what that means. This one is dark and will get under your skin.

    233: The Perron Family Haunting

    The Red Treehouse is dedicated to my Dad. I love you, Pop. Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore the infamous--and genuinely unsettling--Perron Family Haunting. 1971, Roger and Carolyn Perron, along with their five daughters, moved into a centuries-old farmhouse--hoping it would be their dream home. It was anything but idyllic, as strange experiences gave way to vicious and violent attacks from what they suspected was a demon. Was their farmhouse really haunted by a host of spirits? What role did Ed and Lorraine Warren play in this case? And is there a more natural, rather than supernatural, explanation? Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!
