IN THIS EPISODE: David Bowie was no stranger to the occult – he even went so far as to have his swimming pool, which he believed to be possessed, exorcised not by a priest – but by a woman named Walli Elmlark who claimed to be a witch. (David Bowie’s White Witch) *** The gruesome true story of two people whose love caused their insanity to grow darker with each passing day, eventually sending them on a crusade to kill anything they deemed evil or immoral – but resulting in the murders of innocent people. (The San Francisco Witch Killers)
