Show Notes Chapter Markers

Don’t you hate it when you’re just trying to clean up your parents’ yard and an evil Mr. Tumnus comes up from the old well and threatens to steal your soul? This week, Hannah tells Katy about the infamous "Devil Made Me Do It" case, in which Arne Johnson murdered his landlord (who was possibly being a belligerent drunk at the time) while allegedly possessed by a demon who may or may not have looked like Narnia'a Mr. Tumnus, but evil. The girls talk exorcisms, water beds, babies, and more! And, how much wine is too much for a Monday afternoon work lunch? 

This one is fun and full of surprises! So pour your (non-alcoholic) drink and settle in for this spooky tale!
