Join Author Troy Taylor for the uncensored, true story of America's most famous exorcism -- a real-life event that happened in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1949. This local legend went on to inspire both a book by William Peter Blatty and one of the most frightening films of all time, THE EXORCIST.
After spending more than two decades researching the facts behind this chilling story, he created not only his best-selling book but this eerie presentation! Be prepared to learn secret details, anecdotes that have never been told, and a full account of an event that goes far beyond anything you've ever heard before.
From the beginning of the case in Maryland to the exorcism that occurred in St. Louis, you'll hear what really happened in 1949 as Troy reveals the true stories that are more unnerving than anything invented by movies and TV shows. Discover the results of new interviews, never-before-published details, frightening accounts, and even the truth of what happened to the child at the center of the story in the years that followed the exorcism!
Listen to the evidence for yourself and then decide what you choose to believe -- or not believe -- about the time when the Devil came to St. Louis
