“Satanic Panic” as we know it today didn’t see it’s height until the mid-1980’s, but in 1972, when Jeannette DePalma was found dead on the Devil’s Teeth in an abandoned New Jersey quarry, America was starting to feel this “Satanic” fear permeating the air; a fear that Satan and other unholy beings were starting to influence the “disillusioned” and “misguided” youth of the time.

After the investigation into Jeannette’s untimely death seemingly stalled, newspapers started publishing articles informing the public that her body was laying in the midst of a Satanic altar surrounded by occult symbols and relics. Worst of all, it was reported Jeannette had been a human sacrifice murdered by Satanic witches practicing black magic…

These shocking details sparked fear in locals that quickly spread across the country. But were the reported details true? Was Jeannette sacrificed within a Satanic altar by a coven of witches? Or was someone or something else to blame?
