While we've released Demonology 101, 201, and 301 up to this point, there really hasn't been a dedicated discussion as to what is NOT a demon.

JJ fini...

Welcome back to class with part two of Demonology 301. In this last segment which picks up directly from part one, the hosts not only discuss how one can identify a possessed individual but also how Father Malachai Martin frames the opposition between the preternatural and mortal.

Not only does this episode of Southern Demonology continues with the final part of my conversation with Father Birdsong and his son Deacon Josh on the Do's and Don'ts of Exorcism, but it also comes with the very first EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) ever captured on this podcast.
