In a Connecticut courtroom in 1981, a defense attorney argued his client wasn’t guilty of murder because a demon — not the man standing before the court — had committed the crime.
It became known as the infamous “Devil Made Me Do It” case, inspiring The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and becoming one of the most controversial murder trials in American history.
But the trial didn’t begin in a courtroom. It began months earlier, with an eleven‑year‑old boy who claimed an old man appeared beside his bed, whispered a warning, and slowly transformed into something inhuman.
Soon came unexplained bruises, voices speaking in languages he’d never learned, and an exorcism witnesses claimed involved more than forty demons.
Then someone uttered four words: “Take me instead.” Five months later, a man was dead.
This episode examines the real Arne Cheyenne Johnson case, the events that inspired The Conjuring, and the mystery that continues to divide believers and skeptics more than forty years later.
Was this America’s most extraordinary murder defense — or one of its greatest paranormal myths?
