The Conjuring Quadfecta – Part 3: The Devil Made Me Do It

For Part 3 of our Conjuring Quadfecta, we’re diving into one of the strangest and most controversial cases connected to Ed and Lorraine Warren: The Devil Made Me Do It.

In 1981, Arne Cheyenne Johnson became the center of a bizarre murder case after claiming that he was under demonic influence when he killed his landlord, Alan Bono. The case made headlines and became known as the infamous “Devil Made Me Do It” trial — one of the first times in American history that demonic possession was reportedly used as a defense in a murder case.

But what actually happened?

We’re going beyond the Hollywood version of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It to look at the real story behind the movie. We’ll get into David Glatzel, the alleged possession, Arne Johnson, Ed and Lorraine Warren, the exorcism claims, the murder of Alan Bono, the trial, and the infamous “demonic possession defense.”

And, of course, we’ll break down what the movie got right, what it changed, and what may have been exaggerated for Hollywood.

Was Arne Johnson truly possessed? Was there something paranormal happening in the Glatzel family? Or was there a much more complicated explanation behind one of the most famous cases in paranormal history?
