These Satanists had allegedly exposed this woman to satanic ritual abuse so horrifying that she had repressed all the memories until a psychiatrist helped her recover them.

Now, again, it is all bullshit.

Anything attached to the satanic panic movement is not real.

It is not real.

There is not a single ounce of proof for any of it in any way whatsoever.

Should be called Michelle Misremembers.

But Michelle and her psychiatrist, they were fucking great talk show guests.

They were amazing.

So the satanic panic began to spread.

Then came the McMartin preschool case in 1983, which featured 300 allegations of satanic ritual abuse that were completely and totally unfounded.

Again, not a single bit of evidence for any of it.

Martin only resulted in wasted time, money, and energy.

But while no convictions were obtained, the trial lasted seven fucking years.

It just ruined everybody's life.

I believe it was the longest trial in California history.

Maybe even one of the longest.

I think it still is one of the longest trials in American history.

And it attracted constant and frantic media coverage.

Wow.

Every person involved in the McMartin preschool, they were just people who ran a daycare.
