    I’m sure this was the story line to “The Demon Within” or whatever it was called on Netflix. Kids thought they were possessed by the devil and one of them murdered somebody, but it turned out Mum was drugging them all with sleeping aids in their dinner every night and the cumulative effects were possession by the Devil

        The whole family was adamant it was possession, then at the end one brother casually revealed his mum was drugging them throughout their childhood for a bit of peace and quiet, and that he had looked into the affects and it was hallucinations and shit. Other kids denied it all

      Per IMDB:

      A dutiful cop, guilt-ridden over saving the life of a gang leader, becomes obsessed with bringing down the crime syndicate of the man he saved.

        Yeah I may have got the name wrong lol. It was a documentary about the only murder trial in US history that tried to use possession as a defence

    Making people vomit first thing when they wake up on Thanksgiving morning is either very kind or very mean of you and I’m not sure which.
