    In this episode, Cory and Rossa tackle the terrifying world of The Conjuring—but is it truly a tale of ghosts, or just another cinematic smear against witchcraft? We unpack the legend of Bathsheba Sherman, the film’s Satanic Panic roots, and how Hollywood gets real-world witchcraft all wrong. From blood sacrifices to baby-killing myths, we separate horror fiction from magical fact. Grab your rosary and your ritual dagger—this one’s going to get intense.
