00:00 The whole issue of demonic possession
00:02 from a reporter's perspective is terribly difficult
00:06 because you cannot prove it.
00:09 You cannot disprove it.
00:11 The best you can do as a good reporter
00:13 is to try and find facts.
00:17 Six days after the stabbing, I was introduced to the Warrens.
00:20 We had made arrangements.
00:25 They were going to let me have some audio tapes
00:28 and that I would be free to put these on the two radio stations
00:31 if I wanted to do that.
00:34 Good afternoon.
00:35 This is Mike Allen.
00:36 Y News has obtained some rather dramatic tape
00:39 said to be associated with the so-called devil made me do it
00:42 stabbing death in Brookfield.
00:44 Good luck to you, old fellow.
00:45 You're the son of the Holy Spirit.
00:47 Come in and believe this, boy.
00:49 The cross is right on your forehead.
00:51 You can't hurt God's chosen people.
00:53 [INAUDIBLE]
00:54 God, you had to help him.
00:55 [INAUDIBLE]
00:56 [LAUGHTER]
00:59 And I was anticipating that we would get a lot of phone calls
01:03 from people saying, why did you put this on?
01:05 You're horrendous.
01:07 Most of the phone calls were, when
01:09 are you going to play it again?
01:13 I was getting mail from across the country,
01:16 from psychics and people in the paranormal field
01:20 offering their services to me.
01:22 Then you would get to the non-believers who were like,
01:24 are you kidding?
01:25 There was drinking.
01:26 There was a stabbing.
01:28 This is an open shut case.
01:29 Why are you even giving this airtime?
01:31 This is ridiculous.
01:33 On a visit to the murder site, none of the neighbors,
01:35 including a priest who was involved in the case,
01:37 wanted to talk about it.
01:39 I did reach out to priests who were
01:42 at the so-called exorcisms.
01:45 So what I said to them was, look,
01:47 there are allegations that during these ceremonies,
01:51 furniture was flying around the room,
01:53 that there was levitation observed.
01:57 All I'm asking you to do is to just say, that's nonsense.
02:01 It didn't happen.
02:02 And that we can all go on our way.
02:04 They wouldn't say that.
