Can unseen forces truly take hold of a human life? In this episode, we explore disturbing phenomenon of spirit possession — not just as religious dogma or psychiatric diagnosis, but as a real-world enigma that challenges both science and faith. While some cases can be dismissed, others present undeniable signs: levitation, supernatural strength, bizarre skin markings, and personalities that emerge with impossible knowledge.

We examine the terrifying case of Maurice Theriault, whose possession was caught on video, and revisit the diary that inspired The Exorcist, revealing a world where invisible entities — the so-called “Mutated Ghosts” — may be infiltrating the vulnerable. Are these truly demons, or something far more deceptive?

Then, in our Plus+ extension, we follow a chilling encounter involving a well-known paranormal researcher and a shape-shifting Native American spirit. What begins as a dreamlike connection escalates into an abduction story laced with ancient trickster lore, fractured reality, and dark intent.
