Southern Demonology: The Podcast That Explores Angelology, Demonology, Ghosts, Spirits, And Monsters From Antiquity To The Pr

Today we continue our conversation with Father Michael Birdsong. In this episode, we go over some of the specifics around exorcism along with some of his experiences over the years. We also touch on a pretty controversial topic which is the “unforgivable sin” in Christianity. Last Friday, Oct 7, was the release of the very first episode of the mini-episode dedicated to horror reviews which is unimaginatively called Southern Demonology Bites. And that episode focuses on two different series that start with the word “Yami,” the Japanese word for darkness: Yamidouga, also called Tokyo videos of horror, and Yamishibai. If you haven’t had the chance to check that out, then please do so! Another one will be coming your way this Friday as well as every Friday in October.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Southern Demonology Bites!, a limited run series airing in the month of October that takes a look at horror movies that will help you get in the mood for spooky season! In this episode, I bring for your consideration the horror series Yamidouga or "Dark Videos" (also badly called Tokyo Videos of Horror in English) in addition to another long running anime Yami Shibai. Wow, one would almost think that I had a plan for this episode considering both begin with the word "yami" or "darkness."

If I was ever going to have a fanboy moment, then this episode would be it. None other than Hospice Nurse Julie joins us for an in-depth conversation about her experiences while working as a hospice nurse, how her rise in social media has impacted her life, and some of the paranormal experiences she has had both on and outside her job. I'm proud of all of the episodes I produce (I wouldn't release them otherwise which has happened), but this one wins more than a few gold stars in my books just because of how amazing Julie is and the answers she provides. She has built a platform that compassionately normalizes the death and dying process and works to educate everyone about it. She does phenomenally on both counts.Want to support the podcast for as little as $3 dollars a month?

In this episode, JBird delves deep into his experience of falling into the role of performing cleansings of people’s homes. He relates three of these, the last of which was so chilling that he even began exploring Christian Demonology to attempt to explain what he might have encountered. Before we resume that, I do want to welcome our two new Patreon subscribers, Justin and David.

Ever wanted to know more about Buddhism? How about its views on ghosts, hell, and the implications that may have on awakening or reincarnation? Then look no further. I was able to get a practicing Indo-Tibetan Buddhist who is also a member of our discord server to sit down for what turned into a very lengthy and highly informative conversation! The interview is split into two parts, and in this first piece we cover his background, what trainings and experiences he underwent, and the six different realms that Buddhism espouses. In the next episode, we will go over how he cleansed several houses using Buddhist rites.If you enjoy this podcast and want to support it, then please consider becoming a Patreon.

Join us for last part of our interview with Victoria, aka the Demon Folklorist, as she speaks about demonic pacts, categorization, and her writing process.

Her thesis, In the Presence of Evil: Demonic Perception Narratives, can be found at https://t.co/f50y7GMyvqOne of our discord users has started a new writing project (more innocent times may have referred to it as a blog) called Scaring the Kids. The goal is to explore the idea of kids and horror–what scares them, what scares the author, and what is scary to parents in general. I had the honor of reading the site, and I walked away extremely impressed. So much so that I asked if we could do a collaboration where I feature one of the author’s stories as a listener inbox feature.

Join us for our interview with Victoria, aka the Demon Folklorist, as she speaks about her own personal case of possession and how she used that experience along with her academic background to create a new categorization of the demonic.

Her thesis, In the Presence of Evil: Demonic Perception Narratives, can be found at https://t.co/f50y7GMyvqWe also share a new listener inbox story, shared by Livv_133 on Discord (and with her permission, of course).

Welcome to episode 60, and what an episode it is! Today I get the distinct honor of interviewing accomplished author Anna Maria Manalo who has three published works: Portal, the Way through the Woods, and Haunted Heirlooms. She has a wealth of experience in both the paranormal and the demonic, and she was kind enough to share some of that with us. This episode is longer than normal as her accounts are just too riveting. Even splitting the conversation into two parts, this clocked in at over 50 minutes. Here she goes over two of her books, some protection mechanisms she uses, and for the first time ever, reveals some secrets about her true life recounting found in Portal. You can find her website at http://www.annamariamanaloauthor.com.I also go over a few news topics of import.

Jonathan Dugan, a Christian Seer or Discerner of Spirits, has been witness to the demonic ever since he was three years old. Only later in life did he realize that he had the spiritual gift of discernment of spirits. A discord user, Jonathan offered to write a story for our new listener inbox feature. However, given his extensive experiences, relegating his tales to just a few minutes would be a disservice. So he was kind enough to come on and share a few of the horrifying things he has witnessed and felt. He is also a podcaster himself, cohosting the podcast Jumpshots from the Goal line (https://www.jumpshotspod.com).Would you like to ask questions or leave feedback for the episode with either your voice or text?
