Today we cover the horrific slaying of Elyse Pahler, a beautiful girl sacrificed to the devil by the teenage death-metal band Hatred.

Strap in, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare for horrifying tale of heavy metal, devil worship, teenage angst run wild, and Satanic Sacrifice in Southern California.

It’s a post-modern mirror maze of Satanic Panic where life imitates art imitates life in a horrendous murder inspired by the movie THE RIVER’S EDGE that would go on to inspire the movie JENNIFER’S BODY.

Today we cover the possession and exorcism of murderer Michael Taylor who was a devoted family man and mild-mannered, working-class Englishman before encountering a strange cult-like sect of the Anglican Church.

An utterly bizarre story of strange religious beliefs culminating in a murder so vicious and gory it left seasoned investigators vomiting and shaken to their core. Was it the demons of insanity, violence and murder that caused the horrible killing?

And we get into the tale of Derry Mainwaring Knight, the Satanic Swindler, who ran a scam ridding the world of demonic forces that is too weird for fiction and too crazy to be true.

But true it is! Two tales of true-crime demon possession and exorcism in England.

THE DEVIL RIDES OUT by Dennis Wheatley

When Doctor Benjamin Gilmer started work at the Cane Creek Family Health Center he knew the previous doctor, Vincent Gilmer, had murdered his father, but he just thought it was an odd coincidence that they both shared the last name, something that folks would soon forget about.

Little did he know that he would soon find himself descending into a bizarre rabbit hole, one that began with fear, paranoia, and terror, then became a mission of hope and redemption.

Ladies and gentlemen, today we bring you an utterly bizarre and heart-wrenching tale: The Curious Case of the Two Dr. Gilmers, and ask you, the listener, is Murder Coaster the This American Life of true crime?
