MAURICE THERIAULT STORY:
Maurice, also known as Frenchy, had a childhood marred by trauma and abuse. Bullied by his peers and subjected to unspeakable acts by his own father, the roots of his torment ran deep. These early experiences left scars on Maurice’s psyche, which would manifest in strange occurrences throughout his life. Seizures and even a car being controlled by unseen hands became the norm for Maurice, a constant reminder of the darkness lurking within him.
Despite the hardships, Maurice held onto hope for a brighter future. He found solace in Nancy, a woman who shared his dreams of owning a farm and building a life together. Yet, their journey soon took a sinister turn when the strange occurrences that plagued Maurice’s life continued. Objects flying through the air, outbursts of physical pain, and Maurice experiencing bleeding eyes left them grasping for answers.
Seeking answers, Maurice and Nancy turned to renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Having witnessed countless cases of supernatural phenomena, the Warrens agreed to investigate Maurice’s case and unravel the mysteries that consumed his life. The introduction of holy water and prayers provided a brief glimmer of hope, but the forces at work proved to be far more menacing than anticipated.
During the investigations, it became increasingly apparent that Maurice was not merely haunted but also possessed by a malevolent entity. Objects flew around the room, Maurice exhibited violent outbursts, and an upside-down cross was frequently scratched into his back. As the Warrens delved deeper into Maurice’s story, they discovered a connection between his possession and his troubled childhood, leading them to suspect a demonic presence.
With the situation spiraling out of control, the Warrens enlisted the help of Bishop Robert McKenna, a renowned exorcist. The exorcism was a harrowing ordeal, with Maurice entering a trance-like state and displaying ominous signs of possession. The ritual itself triggered convulsions and intense shaking, leaving all witnesses on edge. Although the exorcism provided temporary relief, the true extent of Maurice’s possession and the motives behind it remained shrouded in mystery.
As Maurice’s story gained public attention, allegations of his past sins began to surface. Accusations of rape by one of his stepchildren haunted him, yet Maurice vehemently denied these claims. Some sources suggest that he entered a trance-like state, displaying bleeding eyes and a changed voice, casting doubt on his culpability. However, regardless of the allegations’ authenticity, the trauma and abuse suffered by Maurice in his early years cannot excuse any actions that he may have taken.
In a final tragic twist, Maurice’s life came to a devastating end. In 1992, after breaking into his own house with a shotgun, he shot Nancy, injuring her severely. Then, turning the weapon on himself, Maurice took his own life. The circumstances surrounding his death were laden with supernatural elements, as strange phenomena continued to surround him even in his final moments.
JACKIE GALLOWAY STORY:
In the world of true crime, there are some cases that captivate us with their chilling details and unanswered questions. One such case is that of Jackie Galloway, a woman whose life was abruptly cut short in a horrific act of violence.
Jackie Galloway was a vibrant woman who vanished without a trace. The perplexing nature of her disappearance left the community and law enforcement in turmoil. Days after her disappearance, her lifeless body was discovered, revealing disturbing signs of torture and strangulation, unveiling a horrifying truth that shook the town to its core.
The initial investigation led the authorities down multiple paths, exploring various possible suspects and motives. Jackie’s boyfriend, Bruce, was a person of interest due to his controlling behavior, but his alibi and a passed polygraph test cleared his name. Another angle considered was the involvement of a Gainesville serial killer, but the discrepancies in his modus operandi didn’t align with the details of Jackie’s case.
The breakthrough in the investigation came when another survivor, Wanda, came forward with a strikingly similar tale of terror. The connection between the two cases urged detectives to explore further. As the web of suspicion expanded, the focus shifted to Jackie’s landlord, Terry Allen, who displayed controlling tendencies. Although Allen passed a polygraph test and his involvement seemed unlikely, the investigation was far from over.
As the investigation continued, a suspect named John Waterman was arrested for prowling in the area. The discovery of evidence in his possession, including a pistol, cords similar to those used on the victims, and a book that resembled the gruesome details of the attacks, added weight to the possibility that John Waterman was responsible for Jackie’s heinous fate. However, due to decomposition, DNA evidence that could link him definitively to Jackie was inconclusive.
John Waterman ultimately took a plea deal, providing some semblance of closure, but leaving behind haunting questions about the true extent of his involvement and the location of Jackie’s murder.
