Debbie Glatzel

Whatever had been waiting in the back room had already followed the boy home.

His mother and his sister Debbie later told the Warrens what they witnessed.

They literally watched David choke on nothing.

His small body would jerk and jerk upright, his hands clawing at his own throat, his face going red and then darker as his fingers that no one could see had closed around his neck and were squeezing.

Something just felt wrong that day, he said.

There was something heavy in his body, and he really couldn't name it, but it was like a pressure that a captain gets at sea before a storm, except the storm was building somewhere inside him.

He and Debbie picked up his sister, Wanda.

Debbie's nine-year-old cousin rode along with them.

Good guy.

And then the four children were Debbie, who in this year, 1980, Debbie was 25 years old.

Carl Glatzel Jr. is 15 years old.

Again, it counts slightly different.

Maybe he was 14 and maybe Debbie was 26.

So, you know, it's between a 10 to 12 year gap.

And then the next son is Alan Glatzel, 13.

His name was Arnie Cheyenne Johnson, which, ding, ding, ding, you clicked on this episode, you know that this episode is largely about him.

Yeah.

When Arne Cheyenne Johnson and Debbie Glatzel, who claimed their 11-year-old son David had become host to a demonic entity, contacted Ed and Lorraine for help, they agreed.

Lorraine and Ed played into the family's delusions about their son, who likely needed professional help, and not provided by a priest.

Lorraine reported witnessing a dark mist form beside David, which she interpreted as evidence of an evil entity.

What's next, Arne? You wanna ask Mr.

and Mrs. Glatzel if they want you and Debbie to christen the bedroom for them? Arne didn't need a demon inside him to get creepy.

He was doing just fine on his own.

This waterbed's on for some time.

He's got a-

a-How can this demon manipulate a phone call between Debbie and Ed when it hasn't even connected with these two yet? Ed doesn't get cursed until he goes back home.

If this demon could interrupt phone calls, why didn't it do so when the Glatzels called the Warrens and a priest to help them out with their son?

God gives everyone the right to defend themselves.

But what's interesting is what had happened in his life a couple of years previously, because he had been involved in a really strange series of events.

His then, his girlfriend, who was the same girl that he'd been dating when he commits the murder, was called Debbie Glatzel, and her little brother was allegedly possessed by the devil.

And so Arne Johnson, the Glatzels, um, so, so the little boy's family, contact Ed and Lorraine Warren, the Warrens, and they have literally just finished investigating Amityville, weirdly.

And they go and meet this little boy, and they agree that this little boy is clearly possessed.

It starts with a child.

In the summer of 1980, Arnie and his fiancée, Debbie Glatzel, were getting ready to move.

They'd found a rental place in Brookfield, and the family went over to clean it out before moving in.

Debbie's youngest brother, David, came along.

Yeah.

So I'm going to keep it real short, but it all started back in 1981 where Arnie Johnson and Debbie Glatzel, along with their 12-year-old brother, who we believe he actually might have had autism, like I did, believe it or not.

They moved into their own house in Brookfield, Connecticut.

And it first started with their brother.

They recovered.

But unfortunately, and you see this with some, the very few rare cases with demonic possession, it started to all relapse.

Arnie Johnson, you can pretty much say his soon-to-be brother-in-law because Debbie Glatzel was David's sister.

He finally had enough and was yelling out to these entities saying, you know, quit picking on him.
