Mucho’s supernatural guide
Season 1 is mainly about Sam and Dean trying to find their Dad whilst hunting for demons and ghosts/spirits.
Ghosts are repelled by salt (guns, loaded with rock-salt for example) or iron. To kill a demon you must trap them in a “devil’s trap” which looks like a star that you paint on the floor, in the ceiling or whatever. Within the devil’s trap the demon won’t be able to use his “powers” or get away, they are defenseless. Then you have to perform some kind of exorcism involving a chant of some kind, sending the demon back to hell.
Easy peasy.
When Sam is 6 months old, a demon - “the yellow-eyed demon” - comes into his bedroom, bleeds into his mouth and gets caught by Sam’s mother who he then kills.
Sam, however, develops a psychic ability which enables him to foresee the future (at special occasions) It starts of as nightmares but then he starts getting visions during day-time and in the end he can also control certain objects, like telekinesis, if he’s pissed off enough. Sam and Dean finds out that there are more children like Sam, all of them, born on the same day - all of them 23 years old and all of them have psychic abilities of different kinds. They fear that the yellow-eyed demon may have evil plans for them, and Sam wonders if he might be evil (as he has demon blood in him).
After a fight with Dean, Sam befriends a girl called Meg, what Sam doesn’t know is that Meg is actually a demon, following him and Dean. They do however send her back to hell after a while.
Their priority is to find the demon who killed their mother, the yellow-eyed (demons have black eyes), so that they can get they vengeance and along with their father (who they find) they go on a mission.
As yellow-eyes is so strong, they don’t know how to kill him until they find a gun, a colt, that a man named Samuel Colt made in the 1800’s - the colt is said to be able to kill anything.
They find the colt but they have no idea where yellow-eyes is.
They get in a car accident, causing Dean to get fatally wounded, his Dad makes a deal with yellow-eyes, if he heals Dean he will give him the colt and his soul.
John dies, and Dean lives - though with grave feelings of guilt, knowing his father is in hell.
After their dad’s death, they get to know Ellen and Jo - a mother and her daughter. Ellen was friends with John back in the days and Jo wants to be a hunter even though she’s pretty young. (18-21) Ash, who works at the roadhouse (ellen’s restaurant for hunters) is a genius and with his help they start keeping track of omens, like electrical storms and so on, to be able to tell where yellow-eyes will appear.
They come across a crossroad demon, which is a demon you summon to make a deal. Like - all the money you could think of, in exchange for their soul. The demon will collects it’s prize in 10 years. So, you get what you wish for, then 10 years later - the hellhounds will come for you.
They also encounter the croatoan virus, which is a virus that makes you go insane and incredibly violent. The virus is however obtained, but they are still worried.
Sam gets obsessed by a demon, meg, who commits murders on hunters (in sam’s body) as a revenge for sending her back to hell. They send her back once again.
They reunite with an old family friend, Bobby, who helps them with their investigations.
They have consistent trouble with the police and the government because they use fake ID’s, fake credit cards, dig up graves, and they are also wanted for murder. When they are arrested, trying to explain the whole “ghost/demon thing” (without success) they are attacked by a group of demons, proving their innocence.
In the end of the season, Sam’s worst nightmare is confirmed as he and other “special children” (born on the same day, psychic abilities) are taken to a ghost town to fight each other until there’s only one survivor left.
Sam accidentally dies in the end, after having won the “war” and Dean is devastated so he makes a deal with the crossroad demon - Sam’s life for his soul. The demon accepts but she only gives Dean 1 year, not 10.
They unravel yellow-eyes’ plan to unleash the hordes of hell (through the devil’s gate) and discover that Samuel Colt built a railway, in pure iron, all around a specific area - all together the railway formed a gigantic devil’s trap. Samuel Colt had tried to keep the demons from getting out. Yellow-eyes unleashes hundreds of demons before they shoot him. They get their revenge but Dean is still going to hell.
