    Ep. 21: EVIL | True Stories of Demonic Possession, The Real Exorcist, the Demon House & Anneliese Michel

    Three true stories of demonic possession, real exorcisms, and pure evil. This week on Scary But True: the terrifying 1949 case of demonic possession that inspired The Exorcist — a real boy, a Ouija board, and the priest's diary the Catholic Church kept hidden. Then, the haunted house in Gary, Indiana that police officers and government caseworkers couldn't explain: the infamous Demon House, backed by 800 pages of official records. And finally, the true story of Anneliese Michel, the real exorcism of Emily Rose — 67 exorcisms, six demons, and audio tapes so disturbing we made a choice you'll have to hear to understand. True paranormal stories. Real hauntings. Documented evil. If you love scary stories, ghost stories, demonology, and unexplained supernatural encounters, this episode will keep you up tonight. Listener discretion advised. That second paragraph is doing the SEO grunt work: "paranormal stories," "hauntings," "ghost stories," "demonology," "supernatural" are all category terms Spotify's search weighs, and stacking them as natural sentences beats a bare tag dump, which Apple can penalize as keyword stuffing. The "we made a choice you'll have to hear" line teases your tapes moment without spoiling it, and teasers like that measurably help completion rates. I would love to feature YOUR story!

    Ep. 17: I am having dreams about UFOs & Sleep Paralysis; I’ve been followed by this thing for half my life; Entity asked to follow sleep paralysis; My Sleep Paralysis Demon Bit Me

    What happens when something finds you in your sleep, and refuses to let go? In this episode, we dive into four deeply unsettling true stories from real people who encountered something terrifying in the night. A person stalked by an unknown entity for over half their life. A visitor that appeared during sleep and asked to be followed back. Vivid, recurring UFO dreams so real they blur the line between vision and visitation. And a sleep paralysis demon that left a physical mark — a bite — on a waking body. These aren't nightmares. These are experiences that followed people into the day. We explore the terrifying overlap between dreams, the paranormal, and the unknown, and ask the question no one wants to answer: what if something on the other side has been watching you sleep? Topics covered in this episode:True scary stories • Sleep paralysis demons • Shadow figures • Paranormal encounters • UFO dreams and alien visitation • Entity contact • Dream visitors • Followed by a shadow being • Real paranormal experiences • True horror stories • Supernatural encounters • Sleep paralysis experiences • Unexplained phenomena • Paranormal Reddit stories • Scary true stories Scary But True is a podcast featuring unsettling, unexplainable, and horrifying experiences.
