On this week's episode it's possessed bodies and bodies without identities! First up: we've of course covered specific exorcism cases on the show, but on this episode, Felicia exercises the demons and explores the broad history of exorcisms, dating all the way back to written text to modern day, with roots in religion and the Catholic church. Then Lauren covers the mysterious case of The Somerton Man - this well-dressed mystery man was found on the shores of a beach in an Australian suburb with no clear cause of death, no identification and only random objects in his pocket, including a scrap of paper with the Persian phrase "tamám shud" ("is finished"). It's one of the most perplexing mysteries from down under that has plagued amateur sleuths and armchair detectives alike for nearly 75 years! But has the who in this whodunnit finally been solved in this year thanks to forensic genetic genealogy?!
