About the show
In the first half, guest host Connie Willis (info) spoke with Army veteran and IT analyst Jerry Fitch about a family tradition of witchcraft extending through his mother's line for generations. Fitch noted his mother believed occult ability could be studied but was primarily inherited. "A lot of it, you're born into it," Fitch explained. "You [also] have to have some talent for it." He recalled seeing his mother move a Ouija-board planchette without touching it. "Her hands would be way above it… and it would just move," he explained.
Fitch revealed that his mother dedicated him to the moon goddess Diana during a full moon ritual when he was an infant. His childhood memories included unexplained activity in his family home, including a raspy voice calling his name while he was awake in bed. He recounted that his dog's reaction convinced him the incident was not a dream: "My dog shot up, and she was growling and turning her head around. So right then, I knew I wasn't asleep."
Fitch also recounted a troubling experiment with Satanic imagery as a teenager, undertaken after he learned that an older student had assaulted a friend. He described how he created an inverted pentagram, used his own blood, and placed the alleged offender's photograph at its center. "A greenish flame came out from that picture," Fitch claimed. "Right then, I knew I shouldn't have done what I did." He distinguished his family's practices from Wicca, describing them instead as "plain pagan witchcraft." He also cautioned that "warlock" was not simply another term for a male witch, noting that many practitioners considered it an insult meaning an oath-breaker or deceiver.

In the second half, paranormal investigator and radio host Jimmy Petonito, known as "Mr. Haunted," shared some of his most chilling cases of hauntings and exorcisms. Petonito explained that his fascination with the supernatural began young, when he started absorbing horror novels, UFO lore, and shows like In Search Of and The Twilight Zone. He also recounted seeing a Native American man from an era long gone standing beside a deteriorating fence in the woods when he was a child. "He looked just as shocked as I was looking at him," Petonito said, recalling that the figure disappeared moments later. He later reconsidered the event as a possible time slip rather than a conventional ghost sighting.
Another reported episode from his childhood involved a radio tuning itself and an unseen force pushing his legs down while he lay in bed. Years later, a photograph of the alleged Brown Lady of Raynham Hall helped direct his interests toward paranormal photography. As a young adult, Petonito attended a lecture by Ed and Lorraine Warren, then began photographing cemeteries in search of unexplained images. His photographs eventually brought him into the Warrens' circle after a woman affiliated with the couple saw his work. Petonito noted that Lorraine Warren praised the images, and he later became part of the group's presentations and investigations.
He described the Warrens' cases as often severe because they received the most alarming reports. "They were getting the worst of the worst," he said. Petonito discussed assisting in exorcism cases, noting that the work came to him rather than being something he sought. He described a Massachusetts case involving an 18-year-old woman whose family reported scratches on walls, whispering, and prior episodes of unexplained physical behavior. During an exorcism led by Bishop McKenna, Petonito claimed the woman reacted violently to prayers and holy water, broke restraints, and attempted to attack the priest
