John Alexander Lawson was born in 1976, and seemed to have a relatively normal upbringing in Clemmons, North Carolina...or at least there seemed to be nothing to indicate why John, at the age of 24 years old, seemed to radically change his personality and his name. He became Pazuzu Algarad. His name was inspired by "The Exorcist" and he claimed his mother was a Satanist (she wasn't). He didn't shower but once a year, and his house became a party house for many people but not for his victims--it was hell on Earth. Listen to this week's episode to hear more.

Karl Denke was beloved around Munsterburg, Germany in the years between the great World Wars. Germany experienced a depression due to its loss during WWI, and Karl sold goods to his neighbors such as shoelaces, and soap but the big seller was his pickled pork. It flew off the shelves, so to speak. Until one day, a man named Vincens was found covered in blood running from Karl's apartment and he told one unbelievable tale--Karl tried to kill him! No one wanted to believe it but as time went on, that was the least of the crimes the authorities would uncover.
