    The Possession Files: Mental Illness or Demonic Possession?

    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. In this episode of The Possession Files, we’re going to explore whether Anneliese’s afflictions were medical and mental health-related; or if they were spiritual. And as her story progresses, we’re going to see that Anneliese, her family, treatment providers, and religious leaders all had their own beliefs.   I’m your host, Will; and together, let’s explore The Possession Files: The Trials of Anneliese Michel.

    The Possession Files: Demonic Possession Explained

    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 Michel’s have proven themselves diligent to seek medical and mental health care for Anneliese—primary care physicians, neurologists, specialists, medication, hospital stays; all of which have proven largely ineffective. All of this raises two equally important questions—one that is central to our understanding of Anneliese’s story: what is demonic possession? And is demonic possession real? In this episode of The Possession Files, we’re going to explore and explain demonic possession—from a historical and modern perspective. And, along the way, we will grapple with the possibility that Anneliese may have been possessed by demonic forces. I’m your host, Will; and together, let’s explore The Possession Files: The Trials of Anneliese Michel.

    230: Dracula (Chapter 1)

    THE RED TREEHOUSE IS DEDICATED TO MY DAD. I LOVE YOU, POP. Join me in The Red Treehouse as I begin narrating one of the greatest and most influential horror novels ever written, Bram Stoker's Dracula. First published in 1897, Dracula by Bram Stoker, is an epistolary novel that tells the story of the infamous Count Dracula as he moves from Transylvania to England and a group, led by Abraham Van Helsing that is hunting him down. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to narrate this story on the show—so I’m going to do it; though, unlike Frankenstein, I’ll narrate it over the next few months—a chapter here, a chapter or two there. The influence of Bram Stoker’s classic novel is immeasurable—with generations of storytellers, novelists, filmmakers, and horror fans deeply affected by his story. So, sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read Dracula.

    229: Bella and the Wych Elm

    The Red Treehouse is dedicated to my Dad. I love you, Pop. Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore the strange and scary mystery of Bella and the Wych Elm. In April 1943, in an expansive wooded area, Hagley Woods, in the Worcestershire countryside, four teenage boys made a gruesome discovery in a Wych elm while poaching. Unbeknownst to them, their discovery would lead to an enduring mystery, that today—over 80 years later—remains unsolved. What did they discover in the ancient wych elm of Hagley Wood?

  7. The Possession Files: Symptoms and Signs

    JAN 9

    The Possession Files: Symptoms and Signs

    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. As Anneliese’s story progresses, the tension between religion and science, or maybe more specifically, faith and reason, will become more complex. We can already sense the tension as Anneliese’s family tries desperately to find solutions for her struggles. But with her doctors unable to find a cause for her blackouts and paralysis episodes, Anneliese becomes more convinced that her afflictions are more spiritual than medical. As the medical symptoms—and questions—pile up, Anneliese begins showing signs that something much darker may be occurring. And it leaves us to wrestle with a series of difficult questions: Should faith and reason be arch enemies, or is there a way for them to coexist? Does religious conviction require a person to cast aside rational thought? And perhaps one of the most interesting questions of all, and I’ll say up front that it’s a sensitive one—is it possible that what was once understood as demonic possession is actually a form of mental illness? In this episode of The Possession Files, we’re going to explore the symptoms and signs of Anneliese’s struggles and hopefully gain a better grasp of the medical symptoms—and because Anneliese was convinced her troubles were spiritual—the signs of demonic possession. I’m your host, Will. Together, let’s explore The Possession Files: The Trials of Anneliese Michel.
