In this episode, JJ discusses two recent horror movies, Late Night with the Devil and You'll Never Find Me. Late Night with the Devil received great reviews and was praised for its interesting plot and lack of predictable twists. On the other hand, You'll Never Find Me was criticized for its forced dialogue and lackluster execution. JJ recommends Late Night with the Devil but advises against watching You'll Never Find Me. The episode also serves as a preamble to a conversation with Father Birdsong about the dark and the evil eye.

Get ready for a truly chilling tale that will make you think twice about taking a nap. On today's episode, our host JJ goes deep into the nightmarish realm of demonic dream invasions.
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 play.
Brace yourselves, folks. This one is a true nightmare fueled by over 40 years of chronic nightmares. Sleep with one eye open after this bone-chilling edition!

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.

Christians have created numerous artifacts and and icons in order to help ensure that they get into heaven, but none are as mysterious as the Bandlet of Righteousness (lefAfa Sedeq), the Ethiopian Book of Life. In this episode, JJ runs through the tradition and incantations that make up this amazing work, compares it to protection scrolls created by Ethiopian Orthodox priests that use demonic energy to fuel God's will, and demonstrates some of the aspects that truly make this work magical.

Not only does this episode of Southern Demonology continues with the final part of my conversation with Father Birdsong and his son Deacon Josh on the Do's and Don'ts of Exorcism, but it also comes with the very first EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) ever captured on this podcast. And it could not be more chilling or disturbing, especially to me as it was captured on my own audio line.

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. What follows is the first part of the conversation wherein we discuss a few of the principles that Father Birdsong outlines in addition to an anecdote from JJ's own life where he demonstrates exactly what one should NEVER do.
Father Birdsong has started his own podcast entitled Ending the Curse. You can find that on any podcast platform now or at https://shows.acast.com/65615eeed175620012091d66.

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. He agreed to speak to us about several different items. Namely, JJ wanted his input on the movie Nefarious and how was the field of psychiatry was represented in his professional opinion. 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.

Father Michael Birdsong and his son Deacon Josh join JJ yet again to provide an update on a very troubling case that he introduced in the season finale of season 3 on Southern Demonology, that involving a person codenamed Paula. One of the most eerie aspects of this possession is the infected's penchant to carry around her "friends" and actively pray with them. These friends are dolls.

Welcome back to season 2 episode 2 of Bite, the limited run series that reanimates in October to cover all things horror. In this chapter, JJ delves into a recent horror anime, what makes it special (especially given its surface level presentation), and how it explores some of the general perceptions of both yurei (ghosts) and the divine in Japanese culture.

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.

Welcome to the final installment of season 3! There's a few treats awaiting! First is the continuation of the interview with the exorcist duo the Birdsongs. They go over the hardest case Father Birdsong has dealt with in his time in the ministry, that of Paula who goes around with a bag of dolls. He also goes into detail of some of the demons that have surfaced during this investigation, one of which is of course our good friend Lilith.
This is then followed up with a review and thoughts on perhaps the most impactful film I have ever seen on the subject of demonic possession, and that is not a claim that I make lightly. Will you also see perhaps a glimmer of what season 4 will bring? Only listening may reveal the truth!

Father Birdsong has at least thirty years of experience as an exorcist.

Come on a journey through time as I take a look at the Dead Sea Scrolls, their importance, the effect they had on academia as a whole, and their overall importance. I then embark on an analysis of my favorite scroll, 4Q510-11, and how it helps determine not just the mindset of the Essenes but also perhaps the Second Temple period itself.

As a thank you to Apple Podcast and Patreon subscribers, Southern Demonology will be producing new monthly episodes. The content will be a little different as these bonus episodes will focus on anime and doramas (non-animated). As a preview of that type of content, this episode is all about what's best for the mostly closed out winter anime season.

I have a hot take on demonology as a field. It may be unpopular, especially with so many books out there that claim to provide ALL the knowledge about the hierarchy of hell and what foods and leisure activities demons enjoy, but I make my argument using the limitations on human knowledge of the preternatural, historical anachronisms, and the troubles just demonic names pose to make my case. I also delve a little into the power of crossroads and Sylvester Sty-lone.

I've explained before how the research behind the movie The Prophecy propelled me into hunting down the origins of the angelic script it depicted. However, did the cheap knock-off sequels to this movie get anything right at all? To answer, we delve into the actual text of 1 Enoch and along the way find out not only how dangerous the Nephilim are to theology but how they may even form the modern template for the undead. Highlander may also be mentioned.

Welcome back to the final part of our Halloween conversation with the amazing Christy where she shares two final spooky tales, the first involving a cursed object that's been in her family's possession since the 1950s and the second involving an ancestor from the Salem Witch Trials. Along the way we also discuss other cursed objects such as Robert the doll, so be sure to don't miss it!
For the cursed object, Christy provided several links which I have included below. The second requires either a subscription or a free trial, but I wanted to include it for completeness.

The long wait is over, and Halloween is once again upon us! To commemorate, I have invited Christy--the phenomenally awesome academic who taught us all about Aramaic Incantation Bowls in Episodes 38 & 39 and one of my besties from online--to share some of her favorite true ghost stories. We also delve a good bit into lucid dreaming and the nature of spirits, so only the first tale is covered in this episode. Stay tuned for next week for the remaining two!
I joined up for the second Halloween in a row with the awesome folks over at Your Worst Friend podcast to talk all about horror movies. You can check that episode out at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ywf-halloween-2022-hatcheted-to-death-part-2/id1505651599?i=1000584322922

Yet the main topic for today's episode is a direct contrast to the Bites! limited run series. While the latter is meant to help you get into the Halloween spirit, episode 73 is all about those things that horror films, series, and even content creators do that kill (or at the very least splash very cold water) on spooky season festivities.

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.

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.

One 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. You can find the website at https://scaringthekids.com

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. First, I have partnered with Galas.fm to make interacting with episodes, either by typing or via recording your own voice, easy and fun. You can do that with this episode by going to this link: https://galas.fm/episode/e5afd6fa-acf8-53b2-8ef6-badc12c1253e

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).
