Arne Cheyenne Johnson: The Devil Made Me Do It | #419

RedHanded

Thursday, 2 October 2025 - 1 hour 1 minute

In 1981, nineteen-year-old Arne Cheyenne Johnson stabbed his landlord to death – but claimed he wasn’t guilty. Why? Because he was possessed by the literal Devil.

With a wild alibi starring a possessed tween, budget exorcisms and even a cameo from America’s most notorious spooky grifters Ed and Lorraine Warren, Satan was going on trial...

But would a judge believe that the horned guy himself was roaming small-town Connecticut in the early eighties? 

Find out as we explore the case that shocked a nation – and almost changed US law forever.
