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

We're talking about visions so vivid and terrifying, they'll make your skin crawl. From a withered demon whisking him away to see the apocalypse up close...to an eight-foot crow beast with spiraling eyes of madness hunting him through non-Euclidean labyrinths. Just when you think it can't get any more spine-tingling, JJ gets visited by a trilogy of fresh hell in March 2024. A desert piled with smoldering corpses ruled by a leather-clad demoness who casually flays the skin off his face...a sickly yellow "angel" infecting his very brain...and a multi-headed dragon monstrosity slaughtering people left and right in a sacred church. You'll feel the pain and anguish as vividly as he did, all through the terrible magic of dreams. To top it off, you'll hear from religious experts weighing in on whether there are diabolical forces at pla

Welcome to the final episode, lucky number 13, of season 4 of Southern Demonology. Not only does JJ detail some of the goodies that season 5 will offer, but he also presents an interview with the listener Elizabeth who goes over how she was underneath the dominion of demonic oppression for decades and how hearing Father Birdsong's iteration of "God is not angry with you" helped her to recognize the predicament and break the cycle. This is definitely a heart wrenching episode that will highlight the depths that the infernal can plunge a person before one can even realize it due to its slow, insidious nature.Find all of Southern Demonology's social links and information at https://www.southerndemonology.com Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology.

While recording an episode of the other podcast to which JJ belongs, the Paranormal Rundown, Father Birdsong recommended having a show dedicated to the Do's and Don'ts of Exorcisms, and I could think of nothing better.

Dear Southern Demonology listeners: JJ would like to introduce Dr. Bert. He is a medical doctor and psychiatrist from the Netherlands who has been practicing in the field from more than a decade.

But that was only the entrance to the doorway as in this conversation, we bounce from that to multiple personality disorder (or the more modern term dissociative personality disorder), to the nature of evil, some of the cases that he has dealt with which exhibit at least mortal evil, and finally some of the more paranormal experiences that he has encountered.Get access to all of Southern Demonology's links at https://www.southerndemonology.com Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology.

Horror movies are hard enough to get right. However, when the producers focus on only one aspect and leave the rest horribly underdeveloped, then what's made is a gimmick film. Or perhaps a little more elegantly put, a macguffin movie. In this much longer than normal SD Bite!, JJ looks at two very popular horror movies and why they are exactly gimmick films.
