This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Charity Miranda case. Charity's mother, Vivian, and a classmate, Serena Martin, engaged her in a two-hour exorcism because her mother believed that Charity had a demon inside of her. Charity died during the exorcism process and, to cover her death, her mother placed her in a plastic bag, leaving her at the bottom of the stairs. edit »

He claimed his neighbor "Sam" was a Satanic High Priest who sent his dog to Berkowitz telling him who to kill. These encounters with the dog were portrayed in the 1999 film Summer of Sam. edit »
