About this listen

Tonight, Bishop Long delves into a chilling true story from 1632. At the Ursuline convent in Loudun, France, 18 young nuns began experiencing terrifying visions and exhibiting signs of demonic possession. What started as eerie, ghostly encounters escalated into one of the most shocking and controversial cases of the 17th century. The hysteria would span six years, ultimately culminating in the execution of local priest Urbain Grandier, who was burned at the stake after being accused of witchcraft and sorcery.
