Ep. 117: Holy Hell, Mom!- The Case of Theresa Knorr & The Possession of Clara Germana Cele

Happy (almost) Mother’s Day, spooky fam! While everyone else is posting pastel bouquets and #blessed brunch selfies, we’re over here diving into the dark side of motherhood and the spirit world. This week, we're serving a two-course nightmare feast featuring one monstrous mother and one terrifying possession that turned heads.First up: Theresa Knorr- a woman who redefines "toxic mother." She claimed to be a victim herself, but the brutal abuse and eventual murder of two of her own daughters tells a much different story. Then we head to South Africa in 1906, where 16-year-old Clara Germana Cele supposedly made a deal with the Devil- or at least, that’s what the nuns believed when she started levitating, speaking fluent languages she’d never learned, and exhibiting classic signs of possession.
