On day 6001 A wakes up to another email from Nathan, and a local newspaper article called "The Devil Made Him Do It." The article is published and accessible online, which gives more people access to reading the story.

On Day 6003 when A is in the body of James, he hears other kids joking about being possessed by the devil. While the kids are treating it as a joke and don't really seem to believe Nathan, the fact that they are joking about it shows that the story is spreading.

On Day 6008, A is in the body of AJ, a boy who goes to school with Nathan. At this school, he sees that Nathan is isolated socially, which also shows how the story is spreading—everyone at school has heard it and are probably aware of the attention the story is getting outside of school, which is why they don't associate with Nathan.

On Day 6014, A spends the morning reading Poole's website and examining the stories others have told. The fact that others are sharing similar stories shows how Nathan's story is spreading. One of the accounts is from a boy in Montana, which is significant because that is not where A is. This shows the story is not just a local tale, and is spreading to other states.
