And this week we have a true tale that inspired one of the most iconic horror novels and movies ever made. But first, if you like what we do, give us a like, and a subscribe and come follow us on social media. We'd love to interact with you all. Okay. So in 1973, the movie the exorcist came out and became an instant hit in the United States. And then the world, it was based on the novel of the same name, by, William, Peter Blatty. And now nearly 50 years later, it is a Cult movie. The story has gone on to inspire many other films and TV shows, including quite recently, the series titled the Exorcist on SYFY. But although the 1971 book was described as a fictional account of the possession of a 12 year old girl, it was actually based on real life events. In 1950, William Peter Blatty was a student at Georgetown university read an article from 1949 in the Washington post about a young boy from Maryland who had been possessed. He'd been named Roland Doe AKA Robbie to protect his identity and William Peter Blatty find the story really grabbed his attention to the point that it inspired him. to write his novel, the Exorcist. He began writing the actual novel in 1969 from the material he had gathered around 20 years earlier. And it was finished in the summer of 1971. He actually managed to contact the priest. Who'd carried out the original exorcism by sending him a letter. The priest told him he would have been willing to help, but the family had requested complete confidentiality to protect the boy's identity. He even went to the family to ask permission, but they refused. So he had to decline to help. But it was then that Blatty became aware of a diary that had been kept by attending priests that recorded the daily events of the whole process, he requested to see it, but he was declined. He then went on to say that there were apparently five copies of the diary in existence. Two were in the possession of people who had watched over the boy two more within the archives of two separate archdiocese. And one was in the unnamed public city hospital where the boy had stayed. it has since been claimed that there are several other copies owned by private collectors, Blatty maintained that you did eventually get to read the diary by father Halloran and father Bowdern. And that most of his book was based on this, but he has never said how he managed to get to read it. He did, however, to protect the identity of those involved changed the boy to a 12 year old girl named Reagan. And the story was also set in Washington DC and the Georgetown area, which should have some significance to the real events as Roland was hospitalized in Georgetown for a week in February of 1949. Although the scratches, shouting, spitting, lines on the skin and cursing, mimicked what Roland had experienced. He's head never rotated 360 degrees and he never vomited pea soup or used a crucifix to masturbate with. When it was released, the book became a bestseller and stayed on the best sellers list for 54 weeks. And it didn't take long before Hollywood began showing interest. Blatty sold the film rights to Warner brothers for$641,000 and was also a producer on the film and wrote the screenplay with William Friedkin as director. The filming began in August, 1972, and it seemed to be thwarted with disasters from the start. Principal photography was difficult and a lot of the big name stars of the time turned the movie down. At one stage a fire broke out that destroyed the majority of the set and Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn suffered longterm injuries in onset accidents. All of these things caused production to take twice as long as it was scheduled to and cost over twice the original budget. Nevertheless, it was eventually released on December the 26th, 1973. And it played to pack out theaters across America with audiences queuing in long lines in the harsh winter weather to see some even going more than once. It also caused a media frenzy after reports of some viewers having adverse effects when watching it. There were reports of fainting and vomiting, but also the fact that children were being allowed to see the film because of the MPAA ratings board, accommodating Warner brothers and giving the film and R rating in instead of the X rating it should have had, in order to ensure its commercial success. This caused several cities in America to attempt to ban the film out right to prevent children from seeing it, I knew that he had been banned, but I thought it was because of the effects and people being traumatized by it not for that reason.

Lou: 5:33

Oh, I didn't know they let children watch it.

Sarah: 5:35

Yeah. Well I think cause R rating is, You can take children, as long as they're with parents, but then what parent would take there, I just don't get it.

Lou: 5:44

Yeah. I mean, that wouldn't be the sort of filmI'd take my kid to go and see the exorcist.

Sarah: 5:48

I mean, I don't know what age children, you know, i'm not saying that four and five-year-olds, we're going to see it, but maybe it was more.

Lou: 5:56

like ten-year-olds and stuff. And 12?

Sarah: 5:59

I don't know, but either way.

Lou: 6:01

I'd never heard that. And I'd never heard about the on set accidents either. I didn't know, about that.

Sarah: 6:05

Yeah. It did go on to be nominated for 10 academy awards, including best picture. And it won two of them. Best screenplay based on material from another medium for William Peter Blatty and best sound for Robert Knudson and Chris Newman and the film grossed over 428 million worldwide to date.

Lou: 6:25

Wow, that's good for a horror film as well.

Sarah: 6:29

Okay. So let's now go into the story of Roland Doe the boy who inspired the Exorcist. In the late 1940s priests from the Roman Catholic church in the United States were called to perform a series of exorcisms on an anonymous boy who it is only known was born in 1935. The accounts were documented or under the Pseudonym of Roland, Doe, or other accounts named him as Robbie Manheim. And the accounts allegedly said that he'd been the victim of a demonic possession. So what actually happened? Well, it began with a normal 13 year old boy. He was born to a German American Protestant family was pretty quiet, did well in school and was usually found with his head buried in a book. In fact friends of the family described them all as just anice normal family, but that was to change. When Roland's aunt Harriet died, Roland was an only child and depended on the adults in his home for playmates, mainly his Aunt Harriet. She was a spiritualist and he seemed very interested in what she did, especially her ouija board. And she introduced him to it showing him how to use it, but pretty much straight after her death, Roland said he could hear weird scratchy noises in the floors and walls of his room. Then water began dripping from the pipesand walls. At first, the family thought it was mice and called out pest control. But the next event to happen told them rodents were not the problem. Roland's mattress suddenly began to move violently in the middle of the night. And then there was a constant banging coming from the basement and the smell of excrement seemed to fill the air. Then objects began to hang suspended in midair and there was no explanation for it. And it wasn't just the family that witnessed Roland's attacks. A friend was in the house one day and said that Roland, while sitting quietly in a chair suddenly flew across the room from his seat and landed several feet away. This was the first event that was witnessed by someone outside of the family. Then things started to go wrong for Roland at school, resulting in his family, having to remove him. His teachers claimed his desk would move as well as other objects while they were trying to teach the class. And the once well behaved school boy began to be seen as a troublemaker, a fellow student said that Roland's desk began to shake and vibrate really fast. And the teacher yelled at Roland to stop it and he yelled back. I'm not doing it. His family then decided enough was enough when Roland's mother walked into his bedroom to find his bed shaking. They sought the help of every expert. They could think of doctors, psychiatrists,, but the things that were happening made them think it was something more. And they began to believe he was possessed and were convinced it was Roland's dead aunt Harriet. His mother even tried to speak to what she thought was the spirit of his aunt, asking her questions and pleading with her to stop. Not knowing what else to do. They then turned to a local Lutheran pastor who upon realizing how bad the situation was, advise them to contact a Catholic priest. So a local priest visited Roland, and upon seeing the priest Roland proceeded to shout at him in Latin. Now I'm not going to try and pronounce the Latin, but in English, what he said was, oh, priest, you know, that i am the devil, the priest was so disturbed by what he had seen, that he applied to the church to carry out an exorcism, to get the go-ahead tests needed, to be performed for the church to evaluate Roland's mental and physical health, before the exorcism could take place. Roland was taken to Georgetown university hospital, which was a Jesuit run institution to be cared for. But it wasn't long before rumors began to circulate, including one about the fact that the priests had to wear waterproof clothing under their cassocks because the boy kept urinating on them. Numerous attempts to exorcise him began. During the first try, Roland broke out of his restraints and slashed one of the priests on the arm with abed spring, which left him scarred for life. Witnesses also said that Roland thrashed about as the priest tried to carry out the exorcism. And when he was asked, do you renounce the devil and all his works? He went into a rage and had to be restrained. It wasn't long after that Roland's family checked him out of the hospital. Shortly after the word, Louis appeared written across his ribcage. His mother had been watching him at the time and said there was no way he could have done it himself. And they decided it was a sign and the family relocate to St. Louis. They moved into the picturesque Bel nor neighborhood of St. Louis into a beautiful colonial style house on Roanoke drive. From the outisde, it looked normal. With an all brick, exterior and white shutters, framing the windows with huge trees and neatly manicured bushes in the yard. But on the inside, they soon realized that the possession was not over and from then on the strange events continued in the new house. His mother would light candles around the house, but they would always be snuffed out. In one instance, a comb flew across the room and hit a lit candle. The kitchen table overturned. Milk and any food that happened to be on the counters would fly off across the room. A coat came off a hanger on its own accord. Another time a Bible flew across the room and landed at Roland's feet. And he began to spin ferociously in his chair. A relative of the family was attending St. Louis university at the time, and she put the family in touch with, to Jesuit priest named father. Walter H Halloran and Reverend William Bowdern. And they agreed to perform an exorcism on Roland. The men arrived at the house in Roanoke drive at the beginning of March, 1949. There they witnessed scratches on the boy's body and the mattress moving violently. The same things that have been happening back in Maryland, when the first exorcism had failed. Roland himself was in a bad way. He would shy away from anything religious. And was speaking in a deep guttural voice. Records kept by the priest, stated that on four successive nights, scratches would appear on the boy's body. And they eventually began to form letters and words that look to have been written in his skin by claws. But the two priests never gave up, and they continued the exorcism night after night, but on the evening of March 20th, the exorcism reached a new unhealthy level when Roland urinated all over his bed and began shouting and cursing at the priests, his family in desperation had him admitted to hospital, but just five days later, he was taken back home. Public records show that Roland stayed at the hospital under his own name. And that he underwent medical and physical evaluations that all came back normal.

Lou: 13:38

So it wasn't a physical thing then at all?. That was proven, interesting.

Sarah: 13:43

They then decided to have him baptized, but on the way to church, he said to his uncle who was driving the car, you son of a bitch, you think I'm going to be baptized, but you are going to be fooled. He was moved to a psychiatric ward in a Catholic run Alexian brothers hospital. And what occurred while he was there remained a secret for many years as the church does not permit priests to talk about exorcisms. It was around that time that a rumor began to circulate about the diary that one of the priests had kept. And it was mentioned in a talk held about exorcisms at Georgetown university where Blatty was studying. After a student who was the son of a psyciatrist, commented that the diary did exist. The lecturer asked for a copy only to eventually receive a 16 page booklet titled case study by Jesuit priests. Blatty as I mentioned before, requested to see the diary when he was researching, but he was refused. It is said that apparently father Bowdern did speak to someone about what happened, a fellow Jesuit, and the story eventually found Thomas Allen, a writer for the national geographic. Who found father Halloran, one of the priests who'd assisted in the exorcism who was willing to talk about it. And he said that, although he had been suspicious at first, he did admit there was a diary. And then in 1978, the truth was finally revealed. Workman who had been demolishing part of the St. Louis hospital, where Roland had stayed entered a room that had always been kept, locked to remove the furniture. They came across the official records of his visit tucked away in a drawer, and passed them on to supervisors that the hospital who identified the work of one of the priests who had helped out during Roland exorcism, although the manuscript had been locked away, father Halloran had made a copy and he gave it to Thomas Allen who published the findings in 1993. And this is the only public record that's available today. The document went into detail about the four nights the priests had tried to exorcise Roland,father Bowdern had read the rite, while father Halloran, who was the stronger of the two, held the boy down as he struggled and shouted at them. Whilst he was holding him down. Halloran had noticed writing appear in blotches of blood on Roland skin. It's appeared all over his body and included the words, hell and hello. Whilst the whole time, Roland cursed and screamed obscenities in a voice that changed ranges from a deep bass to a falsetto. The priests asked what he called himself to which he answered. I will answer to the name of spite. Roland vomited over the priests and spat in their faces. He also farted belched and contorted his body. On one of the nights, he managed to break away from the grip of his handler and flew through the air towards father Bowdern, who was standing a good distance away from his bed with the ritual book in his hands. One of the priests had written that presumably Bowdern was about to be attacked, but the boys stopped when he reached the book. And when his hands hit it i assure you, I saw this with my own eyes. He didn't tear the book. He dissolved it, the book vaporized into confetti and fell in small fine pieces to the floor. A nurse also spoke about the incidence saying that the priests had a terrible time and believed that what happened was supernatural and added that they had cleared vomit out of the boys' room on several occasions. But the weird thing was Roland was fine during the day and played board games with the staff nd read comics. There are detailed accounts of Roland's violent and strange behavior from attacking paper during his first holy communion to punching a priest in the testicles, as he tried to take him back to Mary land on the train. But finally on April the 18th a miracle occured. It was the Monday after Easter and Roland woke with seizures. He yelled at the priests saying that satan would always be with him. The priest covered Roland's body with holy relics, crucifixes, medals, and rosaries, and at 10:45 PM. The priests called upon St, Michael to expel Satan from Rolands body. They shouted at Satan saying that St Michael will battle him for Roland soul. Roland's body was said to going to a violent spasm. Then he was suddenly still a small smile then appeared on his face and he simply said, he's gone and recounted he'd how he'd had a vision of St Michael vanquishing Satan on a great battlefield. There were some accounts that claim the word exit to pay it on his body briefly before disappearing soon after, and then it was all over. Roland was released and the strange goings on ceased immediately, the family moved back to the east coast and he went on to live a normal life. He claims he doesn't remember any of what went on. So were these accounts really true? As with most things that can't really be explained, it is a case of whether you either believe it or you don't, but whenever there are stories like this, there are always skeptics and it's always good to hear different perspectives on things. At the end of the day, while I was researching this episode, I found many different versions of the story. They all follow a similar pattern, but some of the events seemed to be different. So I do have to wonder. What was, and what wasn't real? Was it fact and was, and what was embellished to sell the story? In 1993, the book Possessed the true story of an exorcism by author Thomas B. Allen came out. Now, I actually brought this book myself. And as I mentioned earlier, he was supposed to have spoken with one of the priests who was present at the exorcism. And the book is based on that, and the diary that was said to be kept accounting, the events of the exorcism. Speaking in 2013, Allen emphasized definitive proof that the boy known only as Robbie was possessed by malevolent spirits is unattainable. And that may be instead he suffered a mental illness or sexual abuse or fabricated the whole experience, which would fall in line with what a lot of today's experts have said about the case. That he was just a deeply disturbed boy and there was nothing supernatural about him. Allen also expressed his skeptism of the potential paranormal events before his death in 2018. Another author, mark Opsasnick questioned many of the supernatural claims that were associated with the story. He proposed that Roland Doe was simply a spoilt disturbed bully who threw deliberate tantrums to get attention and to get out of school. Opsasnick reported that father Halloran never heard the boy's voice change and that he thought the boy merely mimic Latin words. He had heard clergy men say rather than suddenly gaining the ability to speak Latin. He also said when the marks appeared on the boys body Halloran had failed to check the boys fingernails to see if he'd made the marks himself. He also questioned the first priests attempts to exorcise the boy and he's injuries, saying he had found no evidence that this had even occurred, but during his investigation. What he did find out was that the exorcist did not take place in the house in Maryland. The exorcism. what the fuck was that?

Lou: 21:35

The plugs just fell off there.

Sarah: 21:43

during the investigation. What he did find out was that the exorcism did not take place in the house in Maryland. The boy never lived in Mount Rainier. As it had been reported. He actually lived in cottage city in Maryland. Most of the information about the story was based on hearsay and is not documented or fact checked, and there's no evidence that the first priest visited the boys home or had him admitted to Georgetown hospital. Or that he was injured during the exorcism, but there's plenty of evidence. Refuting claims that the priest suffered an emotional breakdown and disappeared from the cottage city community. Opsasnick said that individuals connected to the incident were in fact influenced by their own knowledge. to any psyciatrist, Roland Doe suffered from mental illness to a priest, it was a case of demonic possession to writers and filmmakers. It was a great story to exploit for profit. Those involved saw what they were trained to see. They looked at the facts. Then manipulate them to fit their own agendas. Opsasnick also wrote that he had located and spoken with neighbors and childhood friends of the boy and concluded that the boy had been a very clever trickster who had pulled pranks to frighten his mother and to fool children in the neighborhood. Another skeptic and paranormal investigator. Joe nickel said there was no credible evidence to suggest the boy had been possessed by demons or evil spirits. He maintains that the symptoms of possession were childishly simple, and fake. He dismissed suggestions that supernatural forces had made scratches or markings that had caused words to appear on his skin in places that were said to be unreachable saying that a determined youth probably with even a small mirror could have easily managed such a feat. Nothing reliable was reported in the case that was beyond the capabilities of a teenager to produce themself. The tantrums and trances, moving furniture, hurling objects, automatic writing, superficial scratches, and other phenomena, were just the kinds of things, someone his age could accomplish. And it had been done before and had been done since. Nickell also dismissed stories of the boy's strength saying he showed nothing more than what could be summoned by an agitated teenager. And he criticized popular accounts of the exorcism, as stereotypical story book portrayals of the devil. So that is the story of Roland Doe, as you have just heard, there are many theories as to what happened. Those who have read the documents and have heard the stories have said he was most likely a deeply disturbed boy in need of psychiatric help, other believe. It was a genuine case of possession. The reason the exorcism gained such notoriety is because of the sheer number of people who claimed to have witnessed the strange incidents. And Roland's weird behavior, not just priests, but nurses, students, family, and friends. As I said before, after the events, Roland went back to being a normal boy and later wrote to father Bowdern to thank him, telling him he had a new dog and was living a normal life. It was as if nothing had ever happened to him. He began to attend a Catholic school and went on to become a devout Catholic, he married and had three children. it is said that he named his first son Michael after the saint that was believed to have saved his soul. And if he's still alive today, he would be in his late eighties. And as to what really happened. Well, father Bowdern took that truth to his grave when he died in 1983, after serving the Catholic church for decades. But father Halloran, who is the only other one who was there. And the only one who has ever really spoken out about the exorcism had the final say when he was asked, if he believed it was real, he simply replied. I've always thought in my mind that it was.Halloran lived until 2005, when he passed away of cancer. The room in the Alexian brothers hospital was boarded up and sealed following the exorcism. And then the entire faculty was torn down in 1978. The house the family lived in, in Maryland was abandoned in the 1960s and is now an empty lot. It is believed the real name of Roland Doe was Ronald Hunnkeler. And as for the house on Roanoke drive, it sold to new owners in 2005 for$165,000 maybe the buyers embraced, the legend, and we're happy to live in a house that once claim that satan and lived in an upstairs bedroom. Decades after the release of the Exorcist, it still remains one of the most iconic horror movies ever made, for many different reasons, but for me, I think it's because it makes you think, and no matter what you believe in, there are people that believed what happened to that boy was real. He was possessed by a demonic entity and remember, this is not the only account of that type of thing. And if even for a second, you believe that maybe it was real, then you're opening up your mind to the possibility that there are other forces out there that exist. And that's what this story does. It makes you believe that there are other things going on outside the realm of what we normally have to deal with. And if it is real. And it did happen. It could happen to anyone. So that's the true story that inspired the Exorcist. Anything you want to add Lou?

Lou: 27:26

One of them where it's as you say you either believe it, or you don't, but as you were saying, some of the symptoms and that I mean, I was thinking is it like a mental illness, perhaps that he had, you know, if it's not true, but there's things that were witnessed, like, the bed shaking and things like that, I mean a mental illness, isn't going to explain that. Unless he sitting in on the bed, making it shake.

Sarah: 27:50

But then it's also one of those things. You've just got to believe the person that said that they, saw that happened. There's no documented evidence as in. I mean back then that there were no, they didn't film it or anything like that. So there's no hard evidence that what those people said actually happened.

Lou: 28:08

No, cause it's all hearsay, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, some of the stuff there, I didn't know about, I don't really know much about exorcisms, I know there's been a lot happen. Obviously, we watch a lot of horror films and we've seen based on a true story come up before when they start how true those things are I don't know, but there's a lot of things that are happening then that seemed to be similar if there aren't things causing it, if you know what I mean?

Sarah: 28:37

Yeah. But I guess going back to, when I did the episode of the Enfield Poltergeist look at that, and they found in her bedroom, that magazine had an article about a boy in America that had, had pretty much they said that something to do with a teapot and she'd said the exact same thing. Yeah. So.

Lou: 28:57

I suppose it goes back to the same thing with like alien abductions. You've got the story about an alien abduction. They generally tend to have the same sort of things happen to them don't they? The bright lights, the,

Sarah: 29:11

and also there's no proof again, only that person it's happened to. Why this became so popular is like I said, because there were so many witnesses to different things that happened.

Lou: 29:22

And it wasn't just family members, nurses. So, yeah. I don't know. I don't know if I believe it or not. I kind of sit on the fence. My immediate thought was, is it a mental illness?

Sarah: 29:37

Yeah. well today, probably that's what they would have said it was, rather than going down the exorcism route.

Lou: 29:44

Yeah. Because you don't seem to hear about these things happening now so much. I mean, you don't open the newspaper and see. Young boy, is showing demonic possession.

Sarah: 29:57

No. I think that's because, like I say, they would go more down the route of it being a mental illness or so they'd evaluate them for that.

Lou: 30:06

So science has sort of, kind of destroyed the idea of that.

Sarah: 30:12

And yeah I mean, in our country, I don't know it around the world, but are as many people as religious now as well. that believe in that sort of thing. I mean, I don't really know either, but that could be another factor.

Lou: 30:25

Well, that's it. I mean, it was back in the forties, so, you know, was it Washington, you said wasn't it it's america.

Sarah: 30:32

The real story was Maryland and he based his book, the Exorcist in Washington.

Lou: 30:39

Oh, right. Okay.

Sarah: 30:40

And Georgetown because that's where he he saw it in the Washington post story. And he was at university there but he did go and stay in a hospital in Georgetown for a few days. At one point, but that was the only real ties to that area.

Lou: 30:57

Yeah. I dunno. I'll sit on the fence. where do you sort of sit with that?

Sarah: 31:02

I don't know. I do. it's one of them because I've never experienced anything like that. I don't know. 100%. I think I do believe in things like ghosts and not so, sure about demonic possession, but, I don't know. It's I feel like I mean, I do, but I can't say 100% because I've never experienced things. I mean, I've been to mediums and things before, and they've told me things that I'm like how would they know that, you know, specific things. I said to you when I went to that medium and my dog had recently died and she said to me, she saw a dog, a black dog, and she explained what this dog running around by me. She didn't know my dog had died.

Lou: 31:48

No, she didn't have no way of knowing that would she.

Sarah: 31:50

No. But she even explained what she looked like.

Lou: 31:53

So there are that's the thing, because there are things that are unexplainable, you know, I mean, I've been to see a medium, but one of them shows that go on and yeah, I mean, that kind of thing you're kind of like

Sarah: 32:07

you don't know is they are in the audience.

Lou: 32:09

no exactly its entertainment. And so I think that's the thing, but I think when you go to a medium that's specifically for you, if they tell you something that they've got no way of knowing. You know, you will believe that. I think, yeah.

Sarah: 32:24

Yes. and it is what it is it's the unexplained

Lou: 32:30

yeah. Don't I don't know if it's true or not, but interesting story.

Sarah: 32:35

Its Very interesting. I mean, I do find all that sort of stuff, which is why I like this side of it, you know, the supernatural Yeah. So, I mean, I do find it very interesting, but yeah, up until now have not had anything happened to me that I would say, oh yeah. You know? Yeah. It's real, it's true.

Lou: 32:56

I mean, I've had something happened to me once years ago. just after my dad passed away. I can remember being sat down on the floor. In my living room. So this is like the morning after he passed. And I mean, I'll swear, or I remember this happening. I remember looking up the stairs and I just saw his feet at the top of the stairs, not his body, nothing like, you know, not his legs, just literally his feet. And it was one of them where you sort of look away, you look back and it gone.

Sarah: 33:33

Yeah, but that's probably because of what had happened and you were upset and I mean, yeah. There's no, again, there's no evidence, no set evidence that you can hundred percent say. Yes, no, I saw my dad's feet there or i saw my dad.

Lou: 33:49

No, I can't say that for definite because, and also nobody else in the room saw it. It was just me and it was,

Sarah: 33:55

it could just be your mind, you know, you're wanting to see him because he's just, passed I guess.

Lou: 34:01

So that's the thing it's hard to know. I mean, I've never had anything concrete happened to me where your like. Okay. Yes, that definitely happened. So yeah. It's personal experience isn't it,

Sarah: 34:13

yeah, definitely.

Lou: 34:14

Good one.

Sarah: 34:15

Well, that's it then I guess for another week, I hope everyone enjoyed that one. We'll see you all again next week with another one fromLou. So sweet dreams until then spooky kids. Bye.

Lou: 34:27

Bye..
