Why You Wouldn’t Survive a Medieval Exorcism

Get early episodes & ad-free audio on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorian Step into the dim, incense-thick air of a 14th-century European village — where illness, misfortune, or even a fainting spell might brand you as someone in need of an exorcism. In this immersive, second-person historical story, you’ll experience the ritual from inside: the cold stone church, the scrutiny of the exorcist, the prayers and commands that blur into heat and shadow, and the uneasy silence afterward. Told in the calm, emotionally restrained style of the Drowsy Historian, this is not a tale of cinematic horror, but of quiet tension, social suspicion, and the heavy weight of belief. Perfect for history lovers, late-night listeners, and anyone curious about the lived experience behind the myths of the medieval world. 🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep Tools Looking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
