Welcome back, fans of the strange and the supernatural, to Whispers from the Dark. Join Raven Vale as we plunge into one of America's most bizarre and chilling true crime trials: the infamous Arne Cheyenne Johnson case from 1981. This episode unravels the terrifying events that led to the first known U.S. court defense of "The Devil Made Me Do It," arguing demonic possession as the cause for murder.

 

Discover the harrowing ordeal of 11-year-old David Glatzel, his alleged demonic infestation, and the desperate attempts at exorcism witnessed by the renowned Ed and Lorraine Warren. Hear the chilling details of how the malevolent entity supposedly transferred from the boy to Arne Cheyenne Johnson, leading to a brutal homicide in Brookfield, Connecticut.

Was Arne truly compelled by infernal forces, or did stress, fear, and a fragile mind lead to a tragic act of violence? This paranormal true crime podcast meticulously explores the historical context of the case, the shocking testimony, and the profound legal and theological questions it raised. If you are captivated by unexplained mysteriesreal exorcism storiesdark history, and the thin line between the supernatural and the psychological, this episode is a must-listen. Tune into Whispers from the Dark for a chilling investigation into the Arne Johnson murder trial – a terrifying saga that still sparks debate about the reality of demonic influence.
