This meticulously researched account examines high-profile trials like the McMartin Preschool, West Memphis Three, and Ricky Kasso cases, revealing how moral panic, media hysteria, and recovered memory therapy turned unverified allegations into courtroom drama.
Discover how occult conspiracies and demonic scapegoats influenced families, communities, and justice itself, and learn the real-life aftermath of a panic that destroyed lives and reshaped the legal system.
Perfect for fans of true crime, historical true crime, psychological manipulation, and paranormal conspiracies, this book uncovers the chilling intersection of occult crime and mass hysteria.
