Not everyone who claimed to have seen such devilish acts was ever in danger, nor did every person who made such claims come to deny them later (how could they? And confess to the statements that put innocent people do death?).
Group-think has an interesting way of taking over the minds of the masses. The tradition of babbling in incoherent tongues was popular in the early Mormon church as well as it was among the holy rollers. Was that an example of devilry, group-think, or the divine?
