Dear Jesus and Mary,
I ask that, if it be Thy Holy Will, all curses and evil sent against President Trump,
our country or the election process be sent back from whence they came. Amen.
Thank you for sharing this.
If you call for the devil, the devil’s gonna come.
I seem to recall an article about a reporter who eventually found out who the boy was and contacted him by phone as an adult. The man admitted that he was that boy and was the subject of an exorcism but he did not personally remember the details of what happened.
its funny, as the years went by, reviewers of the movie kind of laugh at Ellen Burstyn, who played the girls mother in the movie....her acting is so over the top, they think its the mother who needed the Exorcist, not the girl...lol...i thought the movie was very good...the book was even better.
Watched it on Halloween. Good show.
The battle is real. At my Christian Scientist grandmothers funeral a cold breeze blew under the tent where the immediate family and pastor were when the pastor started to pray. The breeze was strong enough to knock his notes off his lectern. Family members outside the tent didn’t feel it.
***The success and immediate impact of The Exorcist was so jarring***
I remember Paul Harvey telling of a play in England called THE EXORCISM which was playing up on THE EXORCIST movie craze. The star was Mary Ure, wife of Robert (JAWS) Shaw.
After the disastrous opening Mary Ure drank alcohol and took barbituates, and died.
This so scared the British that they could not get anyone to go near the play and it too died the death.
I saw that movie when it was in it’s first release. It freaked me out, and the two adult men I saw it with.
It was a dark and stormy night after we came home from the movies. As I was sleeping, the wind blew open the garage door below my bedroom with a crash. I nearly levitated out of my bed!

Too bad, there were no smartphone cameras to take videos then :)
RE: Watched it on Halloween. Good show.
If you like it, try the other movie that is also listed among the scariest of all time -— THE OMEN ( Starring Gregory Peck ).
It is ever true:
Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
I really enjoy listening to George Noory/Coast to Coast, late at night as I have insomnia. He makes it clear to never let that board into your house, especially in the hands of children.
Satan doesn’t need that any more. He has television
Snoopy: “It was a dark and stormy night...”.
A couple of years after my college graduation and the publication of the book, I was visiting on of my former instructors, Fr. Kaiser. Some how the book/movie came up and he told me that he was acquainted with the priest who did the exorcism and that the case was quite real. He said that the movie’s scenes of the girl’s reactions was more Hollywood than what really happened. And reemphasized that the case was real and some aspects were worse that what was written by Beatty.
Many years later, the topic came up at work with a colleague who told me that he new the younger priest who had been the pastor of my friend’s Catholic church. He said that the priest only slept during the day as the emotional residue from the exorcism, left him with a fear of being spiritually attacked during the hours of physical darkness.
Amen
