They Were Accused of Summoning Demons… But History Hid the Real Horror

Описание: What if the people accused of summoning demons were never guilty of the crimes history remembers them for?

Across 16th-century Germany, Salem, and Eastern Europe, ordinary men and women were accused of invoking forgotten demons, practicing dark rituals, and inviting supernatural forces into their communities. But when we examine the preserved trial transcripts, diaries, and court records, a far more disturbing pattern emerges—one rooted not in the supernatural, but in fear, manipulation, coercion, and psychological collapse.

This episode of Veil of Sin uncovers the real mechanisms behind these accusations: mass hysteria, interrogators shaping confessions, social paranoia, and the terrifying power of belief. From Elisabeth von Röhm to the Salem girls and Jakub Šimek, we explore how entire communities were convinced that demons walked among them—while the true darkness may have been entirely human.

Were these people victims of superstition and fear?
Or did some of them truly experience something history still cannot explain?

This is not a story about demons.
This is a story about how fear can manufacture guilt, and how history can bury uncomfortable truths.

Watch to the end, because the final question may change how you see historical justice forever.
