DISTURBED Ep. 4 - Satanic Panic

The Satanic Panic refers to a period of moral panic that occurred in the United States during the 1980s and early 1990s. It was characterized by widespread fears that satanic cults were engaging in ritual abuse, kidnapping, and even murder, and that these practices were occurring in communities across the country.
The Satanic Panic had a number of negative consequences, including the imprisonment of innocent people who were falsely accused of involvement in satanic cults. It also had a chilling effect on religious freedom, as some people were afraid to practice non-mainstream religions for fear of being accused of involvement in satanic activities.
In the years since the Satanic Panic, it has become clear that many of the claims made about satanic cults were unfounded. The panic has been widely criticized as a moral panic, and it serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of mass hysteria and the need for critical thinking and skepticism in the face of sensational claims.
