THIS EPISODE:
Walking to the grave of one of the priests who was there, while telling the true historical story of the famous exorcism that was given by the Jesuit Brothers of St. Louis University and Alexian Brothers in St. Louis back in 1949. Telling the story of that lesser known priest who was in a more minor role as a participant and witness.
OVERVIEW:
In the late 1940s, in the United States, priests of the Roman Catholic Church performed a series of exorcisms on an anonymous boy, documented under the pseudonym "Roland Doe" or "Robbie Mannheim". The 14-year-old boy (born circa 1935), was the alleged victim of demonic possession. Events were recorded by the attending priest, Raymond J. Bishop. Subsequent supernatural claims surrounding the events were used as elements in William Peter Blatty's novel The Exorcist in 1971, and the movie that followed.

TIMELINE FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE REAL STORY,
(JUST PRIOR TO THE JESUIT PRIESTS TAKING OVER):
The family lived in a small house in Mount Rainier, a Maryland suburb of Washington DC. Cottage City Maryland.
He was an only child, and he had to depend on the adults in the household for his playmates, a slight boy, weighing in at about 95 pounds, not much for sports but like board games.
The first event was on January 15, 1949
— “a dripping sound”. They seem to locate it in the sloped ceiling from the grandmother’s bedroom and there was a painting of Christ which began to shake as if someone was bumping the wall behind the painting.
When the parents returned in the evening then they all heard scratching, like claws scraping across wood within grandmother’s bedroom.
The spiritual Aunt died in St. Louis (where they had a lot of relatives) on January 26, —11 days after the first scratching sounds occurred. Interestingly, at the same time of her death, the scratching stopped.
At this time, the boy was obsessed with the Oijia board. It seemed he was trying to reach out to his dead Aunt.
But at the same time, NEW noises started that only the boy could hear in his room, the squeaking of shoes, like someone was walking around his bed.
Now the boy, the mother and the grandmother all together lay in his bed and had the experience of the mother calling out to her sister and her sister answering in pressure waves/knocks, then mattress shaking with the corners of the bed sheets “starched up”.
The scratching and continued night after night, for more than three more weeks.
At School - desk moving around. The boy compared it to the planchette of a Ouija board.
Next all sorts of things would happen in the house where ever the boy was present, like a Bible rising from a bookcase, and then land at the boys feet. Or an orange and a pair fly across the room. Kitchen table tip over. Breadboard sliding off the kitchen counter. Scattering of clothes all over the kitchen.
Then in front of relatives and family members the big heavy chair that the boys sat in slightly rose and then flipped over all by itself with him in it. Everyone was stupefied.
Then they all went to friends house 40 miles away for a rest bite, yet yeah you are witnessed him sitting in the rocking chair spinning like a top. Many many witnesses to this event.
Return to physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, psychic, and a Lutheran minister.
But still, first, the Lutheran minister went to the house and after witnessing the paranormal events, he (with a fellow priest) planned an approach to solving the problem involving something else that had nothing to do with religion:
“Hunting a poltergeist”
(If the will is weak, the devil can move in).
Pastor at home finally states: “You need to get a Catholic priest, they understand this stuff”.

When I was a child going on many vacations with my beloved family they knew how much I loved visiting old cemeteries. I don’t understand my fascination with cemeteries, maybe just history of the people who lived before me. Thank you so much for allowing us to follow you and listen to the most interesting stories!!!!

The moral of the story is DO NOT EVER MESS WITH A OUIJA BOARD! My mother, sister, and aunt did back in 1968 and it started just spelling out discusting things. It was absolutely a demon. Me being the youngest (only 3 yrs old) have been attacked throughout my life. Thank God after asking Jesus Christ into my life has this deceased. 🙏

St Michael has a place of honor in my home over the main door. Always felt safe and protected.
-
Archangel Michael protect us in battle.....Ouija board is not a game. Please stay away from them.

My friend, Susan and I would daily walk past a house in Mount Rainer. It gave us the creeps and we would run past it. There was a strange feeling around the house. No one believed our feelings but then the Exorcist came out and we were validated.
-
This man is like a walking history book!!! So interesting listening to your stories ❤️

Father William Bowdern is buried at Calvary cemetery in St. Louis. Been there many times. He’s buried with the other priests there. I’ve been to the house where the exorcism was on Roanoke in St. Louis. I didn’t go inside but went by there. The area of the old St Alexian brothers hospital where the exorcism was finished was torn town several years ago. Supposedly a copy of the priests notes were found in an old desk in the room where the exorcism took place. The room was closed off after the exorcism and was only opened when they were in the process of demolishing the hospital

I was at a prison, where they had a small museum attached to it. While viewing the museum, they had the actual electric chair for the prison on display, made of wood. It was only 2 - 3 feet away, I think 18 men had been put to death in that chair (at least). I leaned over the railing, to touch the arm of the chair... but then thought... no. Bad juju I thought to myself. I did not touch the chair. I think that was a wise decision.

You are a brilliant story teller. So calm and respectful. Please keep them coming xxxx ❤

I love the way you tell the story. You are so thorough with your knowledge. St Michael is the patron saint in my parents town in southern Italy. My great grandfather told us stories of how in world war 2 he and his troop witnessed a sea of angels in the sky coming to help. He said that Archangel Michael was leading his heavenly army. I believe in his power and I carry him everywhere. My phone, my car, my home and in my heart.

I live not far from The Novitiate. It was an Alexian Brothers monestary back in the day. So thankful that there was help for that young man. God truly is great.

This was absolutely terrifying even more so than the movie. Reality is way more scarier than any tale. That part of the pillow only keeps getting me awake.
