⚠️ Haunting Warning: This two-part series might just invite hauntings into your life, because it sure did for us! ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains subject matter that discusses graphic and disturbing content, including sexually explicit details of the entity's attacks, so please listen with caution. Prepare yourselves for a deeply chilling dive into one of the most harrowing cases of demonic possession and paranormal torment—the Smurl family haunting. In this episode, we recount the unimaginable horrors this family endured: physical assaults, terrifying manifestations, and relentless demonic oppression. Not only did this investigation stir up something dark for the Smurls, but it followed us home too.  In this episode, the final part of a two part series, we’re coming to you straight from the swamp—literally! Dressed as Shrek and Fiona, we're setting the mood for spooky season. The Smurl family fought for their lives as they became trapped in a house possessed by a demon, with horrors escalating from eerie noises to full-blown attacks. The involvement of Ed and Lorraine Warren couldn't even drive the terror out overnight. Can you survive listening to their story? 😱 We also touch on a wild, ongoing TikTok series from Katie Santry, who might have dug up more than just a rug in her yard. After discovering strange objects underground, her computer screen shattered, and soon, cadaver dogs marked the site, hinting at something—or someone—buried deeper. The story took TikTok by storm, and Katie may have accidentally awakened a spirit. Watch the stories here: https://www.tiktok.com/@katiesantry?lang=en  The Smurl Family was tormented by a dark, malevolent entity that took over their home, turning their lives into a nightmare filled with violent levitations, eerie whispers, and full-on attacks. Janet Smurl sought the help of Ed and Lorraine Warren (yes, those Warrens from The Conjuring) to investigate. But even the famous demonologists couldn't guarantee safety in this possession saga that gets darker and more twisted by the minute.
