Halloween 2026 - Touched by the Dead: Possessed by the Dead

It’s Halloween…… In episode 150, our journey through Touched by the Dead reaches its conclusion as we explore one of the oldest, most controversial and most frightening ideas in human history – possession. We'll travel from the ancient world and early religious beliefs to exorcism, The Exorcist, and some of the most famous possession cases ever recorded, including Robbie Mannheim, Michael Taylor, Arne Cheyenne Johnson and Anneliese Michel. But beneath every exorcism, every haunting and every claim of possession lies a far more unsettling question. What happens when somebody we know no longer appears to be themselves?
