The true story that is the basis for The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It opening in theaters June 4, 2021. It began with the lust of demons and the corruption of a young boy named David Glatzel. It ended with a murder trial that made headlines across the country--the trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, accused of brutally knifing a friend to death. Johnson's defense startled the nation: not guilty, by reason of demonic possession. Here is the horrifying true story of what happened on terrible summer in the sleepy town of Brookfield, Connecticut. How the Glatzels, an average suburban family, came under a terrifying demonic attack that changed their lives. How their eleven-year-old son, David, suffered monstrous visitations by an entity he could only identify as "the Beast." How a close friend, Arne Cheyenne Johnson, became the tragic victim of forces beyond anyone's control...and how the Glatzels' ordeal has still not ended.

How have definitions of criminal behavior and its punishment changed over the centuries? What were early prisons like? What were the duties of a turn-key?

Drawing on early court dockets, diaries, sermons, gaolers’ records, and other primary sources, Juliet Haines Mofford investigates historical cases from a time when accused felons often pleaded in their own defense: “The Devil made me do it!” Among the questions that emerge in this fascinating book: Would spinster Sarah Booker be punished today for her 1769 theft of three skeins of linen yarn? Would Joan Andrews still get a T for Theft pinned upon her bodice for cheating a client by placing two stones in the firkin of butter she sold him?

“A fascinating and frightening book” (Los Angeles Times)—the bestselling true story about a house possessed by evil spirits, haunted by psychic phenomena almost too terrible to describe. In December 1975, the Lutz family moved into their new home on suburban Long Island. George and Kathleen Lutz knew that, one year earlier, Ronald DeFeo had murdered his parents, brothers, and sisters in the house, but the property—complete with boathouse and swimming pool—and the price had been too good to pass up. Twenty-eight days later, the entire Lutz family fled in terror. This is the spellbinding, shocking true story that gripped the nation about an American dream that turned into a nightmare beyond imagining—“this book will scare the hell out of you” (Kansas City Star).

Praise for Who the Devil Made It “Illuminating . . . These were (and sometimes are: a few yet breathe) men rooted in history as much as in Hollywood. Their collected memories make the past look fearfully rich beside a present that is poverty-stricken in everything except money.”—The New Yorker “Bogdanovich is one of America’s finest writers on the cinema. . . .

Did you ever wonder how the world got to be in such a mess? Why does evil abound? Why do bad things happen to everyone, including “good” people? The book that you hold in your hands will give you a basic overview of just how sin got started on earth and its origin in heaven. “The devil made me do it” was a popularized catchphrase by Comedian Flip Wilson. But within these covers, you’ll learn that God is more powerful than the devil, and He is “able to keep you from falling” (Jude 24). You will also learn to identify the mysterious antichrist by learning the biblical identifiers. Another bit of knowledge that you will gain is who changed—or rather, attempted to change—the Ten Commandments, why, and where they are in print in their modified version. Do you know the five major characteristics of the God Family? You’ll find them outlined and explained here: 1. Holiness; 2. Omnipotence; 3. Omnipresence; 4. Omniscience; and 5. Immortality. By the time you come to the last page, you will know three things for sure: God is all-powerful, He loves you more than you can imagine, and He craves your love in return. And when you’ve finished, share the book with a friend who needs to know who God is. “…It is based in sound biblical knowledge with a sensitivity from one who has traveled life’s road and found God’s unchanging love.” —Jay Gallimore, former president, Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists “Phyllis was a student of the Word and she was a teacher at heart which you will discover as you journey through this book.” —Nadine Whitacre, Retired Nurse

From the terrifying case file that inspired the film The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. From this New York Times bestselling author comes a shocking case of demonic possession, exorcism, and murder starring the legendary demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, who battled the Amityville Horror and whose real-life case files inspired The Conjuring Universe, which includes The Conjuring, Annabelle, and The Nun films. It was one of the most sensational murder trials of the 1980s. When Arne Cheyenne Johnson stabbed an acquaintance to death with a five-inch folding knife, Johnson presented one of the most shocking legal defenses in history: not guilty by virtue of demonic possession. As the press put it, “the Devil made me do it.” Johnson’s shocking story began months earlier, when his girlfriend’s eleven-year-old brother, David, encountered a spectral figure looming at the foot of the bed and then started showing telltale signs of demonic possession. David suddenly spoke in Latin, levitated, and suffered beatings at the hands of an invisible demon. After a team of Catholic priests failed to drive the demon out, the case was taken up by Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Warrens had fought demons across the globe, but the Connecticut Devil would be one of their greatest challenges, and perhaps their most deadly. Now includes an 8-page photo insert documenting the possession with images from the Glatzel family and the Ed and Lorraine Warren collection.
