The Mark of the Beast, 666, The Devil, Satanism, Popular Mainstream Television. These are all part of a general stigma of “evil” things. So where did it all begin? What is portrayed with these stigmas and why?

This episode was recorded long before the Warren’s home and guardianship of haunted items was transferred to comedian Matt Rife and ghost hunter, Elton Castee, but falls with perfect scheduling for following the media of what will happen with these very well-known to be haunted items among a team of paranormal researchers that couldn’t be trusted.
