Southern Demonology

Welcome to the second to last episode of season 3! In this episode, I not only share a listener submitted story that answers the question of what constitutes a positive paranormal experience much better than I ever could, but we also have a dual guest interview with the Birdsongs, the father and son exorcist duo that have been on more than twenty cases in the last two years alone. Father Birdsong has at least thirty years of experi...

Gather around as JJ shares a paranormal question, a listener's experience, why Shudder should NOT raise any prices, and finally a review of Evil Dead Rise. Yeah, the last two go about as well as you might think!

JJ will be a guest on Vestiges after Dark on Tuesday, August 29th. You can find their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@Nicholean.

Southern Demonology is back after a family emergency in Tennessee, and this time JJ shares not only a at once funny albeit heartbreaking story that really puts the "Southern" in Southern Demonology, but he also goes over what can happen when a horror lover gets what one truly wants and finds something that's truly scary.

Southern Demonology was listed as one of the top 10 paranormal-related podcasts by American Paranormal Press!...

Looking for a movie to watch that features demons and exorcisms? Southern Demonology has you covered! In this episode, JJ reviews Prey to the Devil, The Pope's Exorcist, and Drag me to Hell. Two of these are very recent films yet only one is deemed worth watching with copious reasons listed as to why.

Also, Southern Demonology was recently listed in a FreeSpot blog article as the number one ranked podcast concerning demonology! ...

Come on a journey through time as I take a look at the Dead Sea Scrolls, their importance, the effect they had on academia as a whole, and their overall importance. I then embark on an analysis of my favorite scroll, 4Q510-11, and how it helps determine not just the mindset of the Essenes but also perhaps the Second Temple period itself.

Welcome to the first interview of season 3! In this special episode, we welcome back Brandon from Cookeville Ghost Hunters who shares some more paranormal cases he has investigated, a new piece of equipment he uses in the field, and some of the more idiotic remnants of Satanic panic he's encountered over the years.

Check out the joint episode we did together on his podcast about Zozo, the supposed demon of the Ouija board: http...

In this episode, we begin with a review of the movie Skinamarink from Shudder, trace the decline of the streaming service's originals, and cross-apply that to the current state of generative AI and how all of that is a race to the bottom unfortunately.

As a thank you to Apple Podcast and Patreon subscribers, Southern Demonology will be producing new monthly episodes. The content will be a little different as these bonus episodes will focus on anime and doramas (non-animated). As a preview of that type of content, this episode is all about what's best for the mostly closed out winter anime season.

I have a hot take on demonology as a field. It may be unpopular, especially with so many books out there that claim to provide ALL the knowledge about the hierarchy of hell and what foods and leisure activities demons enjoy, but I make my argument using the limitations on human knowledge of the preternatural, historical anachronisms, and the troubles just demonic names pose to make my case. I also delve a little into the power of c...

I've explained before how the research behind the movie The Prophecy propelled me into hunting down the origins of the angelic script it depicted. However, did the cheap knock-off sequels to this movie get anything right at all? To answer, we delve into the actual text of 1 Enoch and along the way find out not only how dangerous the Nephilim are to theology but how they may even form the modern template for the undead. Highlander m...

As promised in last episode, tune in to listen to the tales and tribulations of a month long excursion to Japan, including but not limited to hot springs, varying interpretations of societal rights, the latest urban legends from the land of the rising sun, and much more.

Welcome back to the final part of our Halloween conversation with the amazing Christy where she shares two final spooky tales, the first involving a cursed object that's been in her family's possession since the 1950s and the second involving an ancestor from the Salem Witch Trials. Along the way we also discuss other cursed objects such as Robert the doll, so be sure to don't miss it!

For the cursed object, Christy provided sev...

The long wait is over, and Halloween is once again upon us! To commemorate, I have invited Christy--the phenomenally awesome academic who taught us all about Aramaic Incantation Bowls in Episodes 38 & 39 and one of my besties from online--to share some of her favorite true ghost stories. We also delve a good bit into lucid dreaming and the nature of spirits, so only the first tale is covered in this episode. Stay tuned for next...

Beyond two pieces of huge news, this episode offers another great entry to our listener inbox feature (share your own at https://southerndemonology.com). Yet the main topic for today's episode is a direct contrast to the Bites! limited run series. While the latter is meant to help you get into the Halloween spirit, episode 73 is all about those things that horror films, series, and even content creators do that kill (or at the very...

In this penultimate episode of Bites! for this lovely October, let's examine Zombie films and why they are near and dear to my heart! We look at One Cut of the Dead, Zombie for Sale, Pontypool, the Girl with All the Gifts, and I Am a Hero! I even sneak in a reference to my long abandoned novel the Eating Apology.
