30.02 - MU Plus+ Podcast - The Devil in Texas

MU+ Extended

The "Satanic Panic" became quite a trope in the late 1980s, and many have claimed it was nothing more than people with wild imaginations making up ridiculous stories. However, could there really have been Satanic cults hidden deep within the communities of America, plotting dreadful plans and committing awful acts? We explore the story of a small Texas town where the devil really did seem to play a role. Strange deaths connected to demonic rituals collided with an incompetent police force to create a mess that is only now being revealed. Not only was it not merely a panic, but the very dark forces driving these groups may still be around today, doing everything they can to prevent the details of their terrible activities from getting out.
