    From Crime House: Crimes Of... with Sabrina Deana-Roga and Corinne Vien
    Nov 17 2025
    We’re introducing you to one of Crime House’s newest shows, Crimes Of... with Sabrina Deana-Roga and Corinne Vien. Crimes Of... is a weekly true crime anthology series that explores a new theme each season, such as crimes of the paranormal, unsolved murders, mysterious disappearances, and more. For Season 2, Sabrina and Corinne are delving into paranormal crimes, real cases where the evidence doesn’t end at bloodstains and fingerprints but drifts into the unexplainable and unknown. The line between fact and fiction blurs, forcing you to ask yourself: what do you really believe? In this episode, Sabrina and Corinne uncover the chilling true story that became the basis for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, the first U.S. murder trial to argue demonic possession as a defense. ⁠Crimes Of...⁠ is a Crime House Original Podcast, powered by PAVE Studios.
