In the annals of American justice there is a 1977 case where the police were tipped off to the identity of a murderer by a woman who said she was possessed by the victim.
In this creepy installment of Short Stuff, Josh and Chuck dive into one of the strangest murder cases in American legal history that took place in Chicago—a city Josh insists is genuinely haunted. The episode covers the 1977 murder of Teresita Bassa, a Filipino respiratory therapist found dead in her apartment, and the absolutely bizarre way the case was solved: through the supposed psychic visions of another woman who claimed to be possessed by the murder victim. The guys explore whether the trance was genuine supernatural intervention or something more grounded in psychology and guilt, while also examining what this case means for law enforcement and justice in America.
