Biography[]
Judy Cassidy
Judy Cassidy was a teenager living in Mathisville in the late 1980s. In October of 1988, she began dating a preppy boy named Jay Jansen. Jay invited Judy to go to a party with him at an old abandoned funeral home known as Hull House, which was being hosted by Angela Franklin. Judy was hesitant at first, but agreed to go along.
At the party, the group found an old floor-length mirror and Angela decided to hold a candle-lit séance in front of it. The purpose of the séance was to see everyone's past lives, but instead, it resulted in summoning demonic forces that began possessing the members of the party group.
Before anyone knew that something was amiss, Judy went with Jay into another room for some privacy. Jay tried to convince her to have sex with him, but she refused. Jay decided to find the next best thing, and went to an adjoining room to hook up with a partier named Suzanne, unaware that Suzanne was now possessed by a demon.
As more and more members of the group became possessed by demons, Judy found that a boy named Rodger and herself were the only ones left. Judy came to discover that the demons could only manifest on this particular night of the year, and would dissipate with the rays of the rising sun. Judy and Rodger managed to get outside, but struggled to scale the brick wall barricading Hull House. As the other demons pawed at her, Rodger succeeded in pulling her over the top of the wall, just as the sun began to rise. The rays of the sun destroyed the demons, and Judy and Rodger were able to walk home.
