Oy with the Terror Podcast

Woo! Episode 100! Cheers to hundreds more. Imagine us holding flutes filled with champagne.

Danielle kicks off this episode on a somber note with the tragic tale of Anneliese Michel. A young woman from a devoutly religious household in Bavaria who underwent 67 exorcisms. She suffered from epilepsy and often experienced hallucinations as well as hearing voices. She became convinced she was possessed and had to convince a priest to agree to conduct the exorcisms. Her family willingly supported this plan, but unfortunately, this led to her swift demise. The story of Anneliese Michel was the inspiration for the film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Later, Sandra talks about one of her favorite places in Boston: the Granary Burying Ground in Boston. The Granary Burying Ground is located on Tremont Street near the Park Street station and the Boston Common. It was founded in 1660 and today is known for having very famous people buried such as Paul Revere and Sam Adams. There is also one local spirit that still roams the grounds.
