Victor Creel was imprisoned at Pennhurst Mental Hospital, where he would spend the following three decades after accepting a plea deal for the gruesome murders of his family. Although he was convicted of the killings, Victor maintained his innocence, insisting that a demon was responsible for their deaths. This piece of information is what brought Nancy and Ruby to disguise as psychology students to (infiltrate) the hospital to get a chance to talk directly to Victor and see if the demon he is referring to is what they think.
