In 1981 Brookfield, Connecticut, an altercation ended with Alan Bono losing his life—and a courtroom battle followed that tried to introduce demonic possession as a legal defense. We trace the full timeline: 11-year-old David Glatzel’s reported afflictions, the involvement of Ed & Lorraine Warren and multiple clergy, Arne Cheyenne Johnson’s alleged transference challenge, and Judge Robert Callahan’s decision to bar possession evidence at trial. We also examine alternative, earthly explanations—including the Sominex (diphenhydramine) theory—and how side effects might mimic “possession” in a child.

What you’ll hear

  • Verified timeline of the Brookfield case and trial strategy
  • Priest involvement, alleged exorcisms, and the Warrens’ role
  • Why the “Devil Made Me Do It” argument never reached the jury
  • Skeptical takes and the Sominex angle: could symptoms be pharmacological?
  • Lasting impact on pop culture, documentaries, and true-crime discourse
