27: The Loudun Possessions - Demons

In 1632, a group of nuns in the French town of Loudun claimed they’d been bewitched by a man named Urbain Grandier - a charismatic, controversial priest who was famously down bad. 

In this episode, we’re diving into the Loudun possessions: the scandal, the politics, the public exorcisms, and the infamous witch trial that ended with Grandier burned at the stake. From demons and intrigue to repression and an (allegedly) real contract with the Devil, this one has it all.
