🜏 THE DEVIL WITHIN The Sean Sellers Story — Part One Chapters I–III: The Boy Who Called Himself Ezurate Before the headlines, before the courtroom sermons, before the televised tears, there was only a boy—born in California, raised across the plains of Oklahoma, and restless inside a world too small to hold the storm gathering in his head. In Part One, we walk into the dark heart of the 1980s, when Satanic Panic crackled across America like static, and fear of the occult seeped into living rooms as fast as MTV and microwave dinners. But this wasn’t a case of suburban hysteria clashing with teenage rebellion. This was a child who drifted—from fascination, to obsession, to ritual, and finally into violence. We follow Sean Sellers from lonely adolescence to Black Mass role-play that stopped being play. His journals filled with sigils, his world narrowed to demonology and control, until fantasy crossed the threshold into murder. A convenience-store clerk shot without a word. Parents killed as they slept. A teenager insisting he was possessed. A justice system unprepared for a killer still in high school. This is the first half of a tragedy where belief—real or claimed—becomes blood. 🔪 Chapters • Chapter I — The Making of a Killer A childhood marked by drift, a mind marked by fracture, and a boy who began speaking the language of the occult. • Chapter II — A Pact in Blood The murders that shook Oklahoma — and a confession that blurred the line between belief and convenience. • Chapter III — The Trial of a Child Satanism meets jurisprudence in a courtroom that had no script for a teenage “demon prince.” 🎧 Listen, Rate, Review Follow The Devil Within wherever you listen to podcasts.
