I had an aunt who lived a block over from that house. Never knew that was the house connected to the case until years later. Also, Fr. Bowdern, one of the priests who participated in the exorcism, baptized my brother.
This is the scariest movie ever. No other movie has this affect on people. I can watch it a million times and still get scared and creeped out at the possibility of it
I was 11 years old when this movie came out, my older cousins were watching it and I wasn’t able to. But I was so curious that I snuck into the living room and watched it. It traumatized me for like a whole month. Her face kept popping up every night and I couldn’t sleep. It was horrible 😞 I’m 36 now and still feel creeped out by her face.
I also was very young when I watched it. I also couldn't sleep for a month!!! I had to actually sleep with my mom or my aunties!!! Lol. And to this day now 48 year's old. I still get creeped out by her face!!!! And even mentioning this movie.
@@BadboySmooth-jk8ee it gave us nightmares for a short while, particularly with our older sisters who also watched it with us would quote the scarier scenes when our parents weren’t around.
I just came across this video purely by accident, and I spent the last 3 hours reading the comments. I would like to say, though, that the amount of research you guys put into making this video must have taken a great deal of time. I am impressed and appreciate all your hard work. You are obviously very passionate about what you do, and it truly shows. Thank you for educating everyone on such an interesting topic. Im not even certain I ever really knew that this was based on truth. So many rumors were going around about it back in the 70s, I didnt know what to believe. Fantastic video. I am looking forward to watching more of what you have done. Thank you, thank you!!
I was 19 and stood in line to see it. Made it all the way through, but I certainly took it home with me! I was nervous and on edge for no real reason for several weeks after. No other film has ever affected me nearly as much.
was 16 with high heels and make up to look older could not sleep for nights after watching it now it just looks silly happy days from linda in scotland
Saw it at 18 with hubby. Made my knees shake. Alien did the same with the knees . It had this affect because I did ouija with friends in Jr. High. A ship's captain was conjured up. Things happened. I know now these are demons (fallen angels). The dead sleep until the Resurrection. They know not anything. Study your Bible for truth. Jesuit society are evil. Wolves in sheep clothing.
Amy, I was about the same age when I saw it at the outdoor drive in theater in Aurora, ILL. I did NOT sleep well for a few days anyway. I felt like my bed was going to shake at anytime 🤯 I remember walking from the car in the parking lot to the building with the restroom. I was SO PARANOID 😲 I thought a car was going to start up and run over me. I am 500% serious, I was freaking out. VERY scary movie for back then 😉
We’ve lived in St. Louis our entire lives and Father Bowdern had a nephew named Ned who was a close family friend. Ned would often talk about his Jesuit uncle who performed the exorcism. The scariest thing was the boy spoke and cursed in Latin....a difficult language to learn that he had no prior knowledge of!! He routinely broke free of the leather straps which held him down. Ned said his uncles hair turned grey within days of completing the exorcism and developed a heart murmur that plagued him the remainder of his life. True story!!
I took latin for 3 years in high school and what actually really freaks me out about the latin claims that often accompany exorcisms is that it’s basically so old that the people who teach it will tell you that you basically can’t speak “complete Latin”. We (modern humans) know a lot of it, but it’s definitely not “mapped out” entirely; both of my Latin teachers said it’s not really a “speakable language” anymore. Which freaks me tf; the language is so old that the people who study it don’t have a full grasp, yet these random humans who’ve never been taught a lick are spewing out sentences and curses?? Nah, that’s scary as all hell to me.
When I went to see the Director's Cut, the reactions were nothing like those of 1973. People have become so desensitized to everyday events, that nothing really seems frightening anymore. I remember speaking to an elderly gentlement in 1999 who saw the original "The Mummy" with Boris Karloff back in the early 30's. He was terrified. We've come a long way, but not in a good way.
Absolutely. A similar sort of thing happened to me. I was watching Amityville the Possession with my nephew and his friend, which was a film that caused me and my sister many sleepless nights as kids. Turns out that while watching it with my nephew and Co, they actually found it funny lol
Boundaries are pushed but never contract. Imagine how amazing it was releasing films in the age of innocence around the 60's and 70's as technology and daring marched forwards? Must have been wondeful.
It's not necessarily desensitisation to violence. The idea of a creature with horns in a pit of fire with little demons going about being responsible for the evil in the world is just ridiculous. People are leaving the Dark Ages of religion as education and literacy increases and that is a very good thing.
I mean I'm sorry I just can't let this go. Demon possession is one of the most patently stupid things imaginable. How is not taking that seriously bad? Like honestly. Some of us realised that the real horrors are committed by human beings a long time ago. Get scared about that. The fucking 20th century happened and you're whining that things aren't like the good old days because bullshit? THE GODDAMN HOLOCAUST HAPPENED.
@@martinparsons4743 it's called "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield. Check out "Tubular Bells 2", quite a nice collection of music as well. There's a song called "The Bell" on there that is really good
Yeah even for those of us who grew up on Jason Vorhees and the Ghostface killer, The Exorcist still manages to genuinely shock all these years later. Now that's a feat, it truly deserves its place as an icon in the horror genre.
My friend used to live just across from that house. Her experience living so close to it gave her heavy eerie feeling. She was terrified going alone. She said she always had feeling that someone was watching her. I can’t imagine living close to this house...
When I saw your notification: I got my coffee, closed my office door and took a 22:18 break!! It's truly spin chilling knowing my favorite movie of all time is based on real life events. Outstanding work once again Michael and Jessica!!! Much love from Kenosha!
@Matt Daniel - I didn't know myself till the early 1990's then I bought the book based on the real case and read it. I can't remember the author's name, sorry.
I saw this movie with my mother and my aunt when I was 16 in the summer of 1973. Being raised Catholic it both intrigued and terrified me. I began hysterically crying when the young priest fell down those iconic stairs. For the rest of the summer, I had to sleep with a light on and barely could close my eyes in the shower for fear of seeing those scary visions played throughout the movie. Years later, a newly ordained priest was assigned to our parish and was doted on by some of the older ladies in the parish including my mother. Eventually he was moved around to different parishes and then sent to Italy to became an exorcist priest. He'd meet up with the ladies from the original parish for lunches and few times a year. He baptized my son, and came back to our parish to say my mother's celebration of life mass. He's a wonderfully, humble and kind priest to this day and still performing exorcisms.
Thanks for visiting our church! I'm the one you got a candle from. 😁 We actually have a woman here who gives tours, and she's done them specifically about the exorcism before. Next time you're in town, feel free to reach out and I can put you in touch with her. I'm also sending you a couple of souvenirs. Blessings to you! - Angela
That sounds awesome some! I'd love to take a visit, not for the story of the actual exorcism, but for your beautiful church. Maybe one day I'll be able to attend mass there. God bless! ✝️
@@holdingsteadfast You'd be very welcome! We also have our Masses online in the meantime, and any time you're in St. Louis, feel free to stop by! God bless you.
As horror goes? It was very well done. Especially for the time. Compared to horror films created now, this one still tops everything. The majority of of horror now are nothing but gore and they're ridiculously predictable. You need suspense and intrigue and unpredictability. The Exorcist has everything needed to keep you glued to the screen.
I cheer whenever I see these clips of the audience's reactions. Sheer proof of just how much of a masterpiece this movie is. The directing, acting, lighting, make up, practical effects. Everything about this movie is brilliant. I'm writing this 3 minutes in, so now, back to the true stories LOL. Thanks again for the vids man. you're the best
I saw the film when I was 14 back in 1976. I have never seen an audience react to an image projected onto a blank screen the way I did that night (except for Beyond The Door). Seeing grown men and women shudder with shock and horror during certain moments was more frightening than what was going on in the movie itself. Today digital effects do everything and nothing looks real or terrifying. The old ways were better.
I first watched the film aged 8 with my twin sister. Our older brothers put it on the VHS recorder. This was in the age of 'video nasties'. My sister and i were profoundly traumatised. I watched it again aged 20 at a special screening at the cinema. It still scared me witless. That was the last time i watched it. I have loved horror films and all things spooky since childhood. I started reading the book during lockdown but abandoned it as it seemed to be affecting me in a strange way. I am 51 now, and do not think i can watch The Exorcist again. It affected me in a way that other horror films haven't. Great video, thanks so much. Sarah, London, UK.
I am 50 and watched it for the first time when I was about 7. Maybe it was on HBO or maybe we rented it somehow. I don’t know. But no child should ever watch that movie. For years I would jump into bed after shutting out the light, because I imagined she was under the bed, ready to snatch my feet if I got close enough to the bed. I swear, as a seven year old, I could probably jump ten feet! (An exaggeration, maybe.)
Wow those interviews they did with those people in the theater that were watching the movie were fascinating. The answers they gave as to why they left in the middle of the movie were really eye opening. You never see that kind of innocence in people in the world today. People back then were a lot more sensitive and aware of the impact of watching something violent or evil has on an individual. What you saw and what you said actually mattered back then. Today human beings are completely desensitized by such things. Hell The exorcist seems tame by today’s standards, kids today would laugh at it. It’s sad because you will never see this kind of nobility or innocence ever again, mankind has traded decency and dignity for vulgarity and degradation.
Honestly I totes agree with you and that's why these movies get more and more violent and outlandish, need shock value. I saw the exorcist when I was 12 abd slept w the light on for weeks. Scary shit. 😨
My father knew one of the priests who performed the exorcism and told my mom this story before the movie came out. Some of the scenes were filmed at my alma mater, Fordham University. I always felt a major connection to this story. Great video.
I worked in St Louis with a nursing manager who had worked with the priests involved in the case. This nurse had a large stone statue in her office of a weeping angel with a broken wing. She said it had came from the office of one of the priests. She had worked at the hospital where the boy was taken while possessed. She said the elevator would not go to the floor the boy had stayed on no matter how many times they tried to have it fixed. They couldn't find anything mechanically wrong with the elevator. She had a lot of creepy stories about what went on.
@@Karen-yr3fb I will not believe in mambo jumbo things that i have not seen with my own eyes. What i believe is a mental psychological disease known as syhizophrenia, which is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. It is a disease of hallucinations, delusions and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning and can be disabling.
I was a small child spending the night at my friends house. Her teenage sister saw the movie that night, and proceeded to tell us all about it. I couldn’t sleep for days. The only movie that truly still scares me, to this day.
Michael, you've outdone yourself! If you keep putting out material like this, I'll happily sit through all the ads! 😉 My Exorcist story begins with me at age 12, getting into the original run of the movie with my 17 year old sister. It was the most terrified I had ever been, and I spent many sleepless and nightmare filled nights afterwards. To this day at age 61, I still don't think I've ever seen a movie that comes close to the true terror The Exorcist brought me. 👹 Blessings to you and Jessica!
i agree with you. no movie scares me like this one. the first time i watched it, when my mom got home from working the night shift i got into bed with her🤣
@@natashafaulkner8467 demonic possession is real I know about it, there are a lot of people that are possessed . The fight of your life will be against your demons
I first watched “The Exorcist” in 1980 when I was seven. It just happened to be playing late one night on television, and as I watched it alone, I wasn’t scared since it didn’t make sense to me. Growing up I became a fan of horror movies and when I finally understood what the movie was about, I was intrigued by the entire subject and theme of the story even though I was scared of it. At one point I purchased original photo prints from the movie reel, and I experienced a few unexplainable events. My obsession was a little too much. Years later, I tried reading the book “Possessed” by Thomas B. Allen (the account of the real boy Ronald E. Hunkeler aka Roland Doe), and twice I couldn’t finish it. The descriptions are so vivid. It got to the point where I didn’t want the book in my home. I am a big horror movie fan… have it on vhs still. To this day, it is the scariest movie for me. Nothing tops it. However, now I cannot watch it alone, or at night, or in my home. It freaks me out. And those 5x6 photos, I tore them into tiny pieces and threw them away.
I feel the same way. I can watch any horror film EXCEPT the Exorcist or similar possession movies. It scares the hell out of me that possession can and does happen.
Love your story. When I was in high school, my best friend's mom used to take out scary movies, which off course we didn't watch because we were too scared. Anyway, what we then did was to skip school the next day and then watch it before she had to return the movies. Long story short, my friend's mom is the reason why I love scary movies. I will switch off all the lights, and if there's a thunder storm outside, even better.
I didn't realize that this happened in St. Louis! The scariest part of the movie for me was when she was running down the stairs upside down, crablike. Soooo creepy! 😫
I agree with you. It was so bizarre and fast. I think that the first shocker, for me, was at the very second when the demon's voice had took over Regan. It seems like nobody is braced for that horrific voice. It still puts chills up my back to this day + I am 59.
I was thinking the crab walk scene was in directors cut,but I may be wrong.tje only difference I saw was they show the demon three times on the walls. Yes I couldn't believe it happened in St Loo either because that's where Linda's from.Small world!
What is intriguing is that the young people who were being interviewed by the reporter in 1973 were in their early 20s, which was 50 years ago. If they are still alive, they would be around 70 years old or older now. It would be nice to hear from them if they are still around.
I lived across the street from the house in (Cottage City) Maryland where it all started for almost three years while in high school. I heard a lot of stories about strange happenings in the houses on either side of that one, but i never experienced anything myself. However, I was relieved when we finally moved off of that street. Even today, thirty years later, i avoid driving down 40th ave.
Here's a fun fact. I attended Concordia Seminary in the mid 90s. There is a former student's master's thesis in the library on the occult. For part of his research he interviewed one of the old priests who conducted some of the exorcisms on Roland/Ronald. What's described in the thesis is the child sitting in a fetal position on a chair during the rite. The chair would slowly rock and balance on the back legs and communion wafers would fly around the room along with other levitations. For doubters, keep in mind this was a scholarly paper for a degree. The academic board would not accept folklore or fables in the presentation. Go look it up.
I can't say exactly what happened in the true story! I'm not sure anyone can as exercism is something the Catholic church absolutely does not talk about! It's a very protected secretive thing! Mainly because it is a very traumatic process & can be very difficult & embarrassing for the subject & also the family! Some of the things that are said & occur are well like I said! Some actually die! So the movie it portrayed many things but it doesn't truly tell the real story! It uses bits & pieces adds things for sensationalism! So it's very difficult to know the true story! It sure isn't this movie!
I went to a catholic high school and my geometry teacher was a priest. We all got on the subject one time and he actually got a copy of documents from the Vatican about this exorcism, including the priest's official diary and read those to us. That scared the shit out of me because it was real!
You may think it is a toy it is really a door way to the darkest part that if you do not know what your doing could lead to you passing our family members dieing ,you got to know what words to speak an say to close the doorway that you opened if you don't know the demons or false spirits will leak through the board . also burning it you can hear screams comming from the board it is NOT a TOY, anyone one buying it is going to condemn there child an going to cause them to go through trouble all there lives IT IS NOT A TOY TO BE PLAYED WITH

As a St Louis native the story about the exorcism has aways been floating around.. Yet the Richard Pryor skit on SNL was more impactful to me.. THE BED IS ON MY FOOT!!!😂😂😂
The Exorcist was the only movie that stands out over any other scary movie based on how serious and meticulously it was made for its time, other scary movies like Freddy Kruger or Halloween never had such an impact. A movie such as this is rare and I don’t think can be repeated the same.. Thank you for the upload.
I've lived in st louis my whole life and while knowing that the real story of the Exorcist took place here, I had no idea the exact locations. Beautiful video and thanks for filling us all in
I was the cinematographer on Exocist "House of Evil" in 2015. We shot the movie inside the actual house. The boy's bedroom was on the second floor at the back of the house but the basement was the eerie part of the house. There was a drawing on the wall of a small boy with the image of a devil on his shoulder.
My mother went to Xavier High School and nursing school in StL and worked at that hospital for a bit. I started watching this video because I am from St. Louis and wanted to confirm this information my mother told me about the Exorcist. She told me that that part of the hospital, the room he was exorcised was closed off, but not that wing of the hospital. She said that wing of the hospital was very eerie and cold and gave you bad feelings. My father is also buried in Calgary... Wow, good work! thanks for the doc!👍
The Alexian Brothers hospital was completely demolished and a new building was built in its place in 1979. St. Alexius hospital is the one that’s shown in the video that took it’s place. Tours are given in St.Louis stating that St. Alexius had a wing that was closed off but that’s obviously not true and was at the previous hospital.
I’m live in STL and have my whole life.. there is a lot of hidden stories here. One being a apartment building here for low income residents which used to be a hospital.. my mom worked there and have been there myself. A man died on the 13th floor from demonic activity. Many people on that floor started experiencing paranormal things so they shut the floor down. Another is the house on Plant Ave in Webster Groves... lots of history there as well. It’s said that if you look in the window you will sometimes see a boy and women in the window which many people have encountered. The Lemp Mansion is another on the list.. the list goes on.
St. L is demonic because of the heavy Catholic influence that goes on there behind closed doors that the sheep are oblivious to. Luciferian priests in high places. The Mother church is the Harlot and Great Babylon which leads all the other denominations to follow and wonder after this Beast power.
Yes girl!! I can attest to the Lemp mansion. I used to live right around the corner and it always gave me such a weird vibe too. Not sure the history behind it, but the Melvin Theatre was another that I always hated having to walk past to the bus stop.
Love this movie. The first time I saw it was the censored version on cable when I was 10. Years later, I finally bought the DVD with the commentary and thoroughly enjoyed it. I learned so much about the movie. Great video.
I was (1974-75) a chaplain assistant at the old hospital, and truly Ronnie's room was untouched and sealed in fact, the whole floor of the hospital was CLOSED. Imagine how much revenue was lost and therefore a new hospital was built to replace it. When the building was torn down some witnesses claim an unidentified creature was seen escaping from Ronnie's chamber. Despite my attempts to visit the vacant floor, I never succeeded but was told by the hospital administration "Nobody goes up there".
My dad was 17 when he watched it with his friends (cinema) . They ended up sleeping in a temple, too afraid to cycle back home. Now he is 65 years old.
I'm not sure how old the two of you are, I'm 56 and a horror movie fan. Also know history fairly well, I've watched a number of your videos, and I'm greatly impressed with the knowledge you have of these events and what was going on at the time. That goes for every video I've watched. Its enlightening then hear the true stories that some movies were based on, and I appreciate the time you take to research before touring the locations. Also the footage of the films as well as archival news tidbits is excellent. Keep up the great work. We need to remember these atrocities just as you say in the hopes of preventing future acts, and sadly, stopping current ones. Humans are quite vicious at times and we must be aware that the faces we show the world on the outside do not reflect who we are on the inside. Great job.
Back in the early 80's I met one the doctors from Saint Elisabeth's hospital in Washington DC. He told me that while working as an intern at the time he assisted the medical doctor that evaluated the haunted boy. He said the boy had a severe multiple personality disorder with violent outbursts and was treated as a psych patient. He said after a week of treatment at Saint Elisabeth's hospital the boys parents checked him out and left.
Very well done video. It is so hard to imagine in our world today how it would have felt to have NEVER seen a film like that before and I think what scared them even more was knowing it was based on real events. I feel bad for the audience that got affected in that way.You and Jessica always do such a great job making these videos and I learn so much.
I remember watching The Exorcist and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre one after the other when I was 8 years old. I was terrified, but never looked back. It started my love of horror and all things spooky 👻
Yes I too saw it at the age of 8, yeah our father took us to go see this movie at a very young age, which was in the 70's, and The Exorcist is the reason for my obsession of Horror's and Thrillers...
A very big horror fan myself... And I'm definitely going into my Horror dvd 📀 collection which Consists of over 1000 movie's... And watching this horror classic Tonight of course with the light's On... 😂
This is soooo awesome to see!! I remember those reports of people getting sick and some running out of the theater!! I was a latch key kid during that time, and I would be home by myself and just hearing that music during the trailer was just so scary!! I did not watch The Exorcist until my mid 40s, I love horror movies; but I think that The Exorcist is the scariest movie ever made!! Thank you for all of your hard work and for making these videos for us!! Take Care!
It has to be. I don't think any horror movie comes close. They can create whatever horrific image you can think of with cgi but nothing will compare to what the makeup artists did with the posseses girl. It's the scariest thing I've ever seen. I don't think I'm alone
I, as a life-long horror film fan and former Catholic, agree with you. I can think of no other film that comes close, maybe " The Omen," but, for my money, "The Exorcist," is, no contest, "the most frightening film ever made!"
The video of the church is beautiful, the video of the inside is gorgeous. You did a great job on capturing it. So cool that you guys unearth so much history and take us along for the ride!
I love the stories, but what keeps me coming back is the respect you show in all aspects of your videos. It really sets you apart. Thanks for another great video.
It’s crazy you can tell those people were really affected after watching the movie…. OMG why did u just flash that demon pazuzu face on screen?! Scared the hell out of me 😂😂😂😂
Hi Guys!! I've recently found your youtube page and I really liove the work you guys do in yourn short documentaries! I just wanted to say hello and that I truly enjoy what you do -Brad
The parts that still upset me the most are all the painful and intrusive medical tests she had to go through. They looked absolutely dreadful, and you know there would be people who would have to go through similar treatments in real life for various ailments to find answers.
I would say the most upsetting scene besides that was her stabbing her private area with the crucifix while saying F Jesus. That scene left a heavy impact on me. Very intense. The medical scenes were upsetting as well too.
I was 9 years old, when I first saw this movie,and 50 years later, it continues to be the scariest movie I've ever seen. I NEVER forgot her face, and ALWAYS pray when I'm home alone. It really impacted me and NO other movie will ever compare to this one!!🤯🤯🤯
Thank you for recognizing the beauty and history of St. Louis. The past 10 years have made things really rough for the city but hopefully things will improve! Edit: they do tours of Bellefontaine and Calvary each October--both have famous people buried in their confines. Come back anytime!!
It's hard to imagine that it was when The Exorcist was released in the theaters, another family is experiencing the horror of their lifetime at a farm house at Rhode Island which later came to be the inspiration for the film 'The Conjuring'.
Great movie.I watched it when I was about 13..it had been released over 10years by then and people were still talking about it and how scary it was...a classic nowadays..Great video.
The thing I LOVE about The Exorcist is that the horror grows with you. I saw it as a child and related to Regan, then I grew up and became a mother, I now relate to her mother and the horror of watching that happen to your child. I also relate to Father Karras and his terror and guilt over the aging and death of his own mother.
Imagine a 13 year old Linda blair..doin this movie..what she did with the cross..no way..dont care how much you pay us..thats total blasfemy..10th degree.
Being from St.Louis, I’ve always been interested in the history of the Exorcist. There are a lot of rumors and misinformation out there about this and it took me awhile to figure out the facts.Thanks for getting it right.
I knew I recognized that green hair. I saw you two filming this the other day (She was sitting next to the lady/baby statue while I was at the light in a black 6 seat🤣) and I wondered what you guys were doing...now I see. Very interesting video! Cool to know this actual story
I stood in line to watch "The Exorcist" in 1973. Yes, some of the older people exiting the theater as we were entering looked a bit pale and shell shocked, but there was none of the fainting, vomiting, hysteria that the media were going overboard on reporting. The green paint puke and a couple of the special effects looked hokey, even to a 1973 audience. Still. the film was a cultural phenomenon. Good job on your video!
The theater that showed the original Exorcist got turned into an Aldi. I wonder if molecules reassemble and people freak out somewhere near canned goods.
It actually wasn't green paint, it was pea soup. Also, the film was not a "horror film". It was criticized by the catholic church only until the middle 2000's when they revisited the film again. They changed their mind about the film and now acknowledged it's importance. It was a film about sacrifice, redemption and Satan's workings through guilt. It's a horror film only if you are a non believer.
I saw the "Exorcist " when it first came out in 1973. I was a sophomore in high school. I learned It was based on real events. It was literally the scariest movie I've ever seen....still is.
Went to Saint Louis University. One of the young novice priests present at the exorcism. He became a professor at SLU and taught a class in evil and demonic. I didn't attend that class but had an impromptu conversation with him. Incredibly smart and kind man. You could see it in his eyes, he'd seen some crazy business in that room.
I wasn't allowed to watch the exorcist until I was 18 and even then, I was bothered. My mom was right there to help me calm down, and this is one of the only scary movies my dad refuses to watch because he hates it.
I watched it when I was about 17 I think. I didn’t read the book till I was 21, and I listened to the audio book. I watched it during the day, so that helped my mind at night, but my uncle read it before bed when he was in his mid 20’s and he had to sleep with the lights on for about a week, cause he was so scared.
I've lived in St. Louis my whole life and my family lived directly across the street from St. Alexis hospital. My aunt and grandmother worked at the hospital during the exorcism! The floor that it was performed on was closed off from the rest of the hospital.
I grew up in the suburbs of St. Louis and had a teacher who said he previously worked at the hospital and told our class one day about the exorcism that occurred there. He said that they first closed off the hospital room and then the entire floor. I also recall him saying there was a very loud boom (he said similar to a sonic boom) heard within the hospital at the last exorcism. performed at the hospital. Who knows if that was an embellishment.
The Exorcism actually took place next door to the hospital at a Jesuit rectory. The building was torn down. I was born in Alexian Brothers hospital and my Uncle worked there for awhile.
Great coverage of this topic. Certainly more respectful than the ghost chasers who showed up several years ago and did an embarrassing live broadcast from that house. I read the book in high school during study hall over a few weeks, despite reading in broad daylight it was terrifying and stayed in my head for weeks.
I grew up in St Louis right down the street from their house so I know a little bit about this and you've done a really good job putting it all together very impressive it was very hush-hush and kept very quiet from the public for a very very long time it was not talked about and it's good to finally listen to it all knowing the facts you really did a fantastic job thank you
Interesting video!! I grew up right across from a drive in theater and one summer I would try to sleep with the sounds of the Exorcist!! It freaked me out for sure!
Exorcist! Finally!!! Thank you guys so much for doing this iconic film that I’m personally proud of sharing my birthday with it’s release date. 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽 Still my fav horror film.
Im from St Louis, my Aunt was in the choir at that church, and when she passed away, her funeral was held there as well. I had never been there, and was stuck by how pretty it was. Im not even really religious but that church is worth a look regardless of your religious standing. I did not know, however, the history of it in regards to the exorcism. Very cool.
My mother grew up in STL as well as myself, and she told me this story many times. One particular story she told me was that when the hospital demolished the building where the exorcism room was located that during the demolition the building stopped in mid air before crumbling into a pile of bricks and rubbish. I will never forget that story.
This was so interesting as I am from St. Louis! I was always told that the elevator in the hospital would not stop at that floor and that floor was left as is until it was torn down
I live in St Louis and this story was something I wasn’t allowed to talk about. I’ve got to see that gorgeous sanctuary you showed. That was breathtaking.
I live in St. Louis and anytime anyone says anything supernatural here they bring up the Exorcist. Hell my husband was born and raised and was Catholic and talks about it every time it comes up or we drive over that way for anything lol
You'd be welcome to come visit! We keep the church open during the day, usually from 7 am to 2 pm or so. St. Francis Xavier College Church, corner of Grand and Lindell.
I was born and raised in the CITY of STL. My Dad worked security at Alexian Brothers Hospital when I was a baby. He doesn’t like to talk about it but confirms the wing was closed off. I am a St Louis University Alumni and one of my professors spoke openly about being a young priest that attended part of the exorcism. First time I’ve heard ANYONE tell the entire story CORRECTLY. You guys are AWESOME!
@@princesssplts9152 well, this is gonna blow your socks off… Even nuns have jobs 😆 What were you under the impression Catholic Clergy did with themselves? Every single principal I’ve had elementary through undergrad was either a Priest or a Nun. Father “Al Sal the Principal” at Our Lady of Lourdes. Sister “Mount Helen” at JFK Catholic HS. Of course the Jesuits are professors and professionals at SLU (St Louis University). It’s their damn school!
I grew up in St. Louis and was too young to see the movie when it came out, but we all certainly knew about it. In the 70's, we always had to drive by that old hospital on the way to my grandparent's house. After the movie came out, even driving by the hospital scared to crap out of me. Even after it was torn down, it still scared me. I was relieved when my grandparents moved and we didn't have to drive by that site anymore. There was a common rumor around town that when the hospital was torn down, the wrecking ball was swerved away from hitting in the area where the exorcism took place. No clue if that really happened or it was just legend shared by kids. There's a video on youtube somewhere of a medium walking around that parking lot where to old hospital once stood. She said she senses a female presence that is being protective, but she also senses a dark/negative energy there as well. She thinks the female presence is a nun that died there and she is keeping the place safe.
I absolutely love this movie and book. The latter I've read over half dozen times. The former I've watched even more. Wonderfully acted and portrayed. I walked home, many a night hoping there wasnt a blue moon present. Thank yoy again guys for this. 😊
St. Alexius Hospital has been closed awhile...but there has always been the knowledge that the particular room in the hospital was closed off and nursing staff would talk about seeing and hearing things that alot of nurses would quit. it definitely is a big scarey part of St. Louis!!
I'm 42 . I watched that movie when I was 10. Never again did I watch that movie. The most disturbing movie ive ever seen. I was scared to sleep for weeks.
I loved this episode. This is now my 2nd favorite one you have done. Really amazing work. Thank you so much. My #1 favorite was with Tom Savini. Keep up the great work guys. Looking forward to your next episode.
I am from The Netherlands so sorry for my poor English, but i highly appreciate your story telling and camera work. I love too listen to it, it is so relaxing. No rushing etc and camera work always steady and again no rush. Great job, as always!
I am from the St. Louis area and I have a supernatural/ haunted history show on TH-cam called "Belongs to the Shadows" thank you for doing this episode.
Omigosh, I didn't know Jessica is from St. Louis! I am originally from/live now in, Western New York, but I lived in St. Louis for 10 years...worked at Grant's Farm. Could you two ever visit Alton, IL? There are so many ghost stories there that you could spend a long time there.
I went with a Ghost hunters group and investigated a bar in Alton. Got hit with a static surge in one area. Made my hair on my arms stand up straight. A window blew out after we left another location north of there that used to be a night club. Very active region.
Probably the scariest movie I seen as a kid but didn't remember the quija board. I would never mess around with another quija board though and after 30 yrs i still haven't. I seen things happen that I never care to see again. Never knew the whole story though, I definitely enjoyed it . Great job you two . God Bless
The Ouija board was being PLAYED in the basement by Reagan alone. Mom told her it won't work with just one person and the slider shot over to NO when it was asked if mom could play.
Ouija boards are not by themselves evil and are not going to get you possessed. It's simply a divination tool that must be used properly like any other. If you leave the spiritual doorway open with any divination tool you leave a space for things to come through good and bad. Don't blame the ouija board blame the person misusing it.
@@ultimatepitviper I agree and the same goes with guns or anything that has the possibility to harm a person. The problem is when people lay them around with other board games like monopoly. It's easy for a young person to associate it with fun and games and not take it serious. Unfortunately nobody down here is perfect and can walk on water. God Bless
My friend her sister n law and myself was dumb enough to try one when I was like 21 I still Try to erase it from my memory. That thing spelled out my grandparents name's my social and told me what was going to happen to me. I'm scared even typing this. We we're fucking stupid!
@@DGsKattKatt I was a teenager and the one communicating with the spirit. It took about 15 minutes or so before anything happened and it definitely give some answers that spooked us. It wasn't until later that night by myself when I tried it that objects moved by themselves with alot of force. The house was known for it's paranormal activity and was warned not to do anything. But like a young punk I didn't listen and learned a lesson. Thanks for your story . God Bless
Loved the video.. I can't imagine how terrifying this movie was when it came out. It's top horror movie along with hereditary. I like how you added the face at the end... very cool!
I had an aunt who lived a block over from that house. Never knew that was the house connected to the case until years later. Also, Fr. Bowdern, one of the priests who participated in the exorcism, baptized my brother.
Great video , scary very informative and a kind of weird , my wife doesn't like exorcist and I amid I've never watched it but quite interesting
Grimlifecolllrctive Always satisvies
So, a professional. That's Ultra Cleansing.
WOW! 😱
Whoa! That's crazy
This is the scariest movie ever. No other movie has this affect on people. I can watch it a million times and still get scared and creeped out at the possibility of it
It genuinely is, and it holds up SO good to this very day!
Yes. Same here. But still fantastic
Nooe
It's Hollywood fake. Bit even close to real
Except, maybe......Jaws🦈🦈🦈
I was 11 years old when this movie came out, my older cousins were watching it and I wasn’t able to. But I was so curious that I snuck into the living room and watched it. It traumatized me for like a whole month. Her face kept popping up every night and I couldn’t sleep.
It was horrible 😞 I’m 36 now and still feel creeped out by her face.
I also was very young when I watched it. I also couldn't sleep for a month!!! I had to actually sleep with my mom or my aunties!!! Lol. And to this day now 48 year's old. I still get creeped out by her face!!!! And even mentioning this movie.
Our older brother was babysitting us and rented this, my fraternal twin brother and I were seven when we first watched it.
@@princessmarlena1359 AND???? What did you guys think about it at That age????
@@BadboySmooth-jk8ee it gave us nightmares for a short while, particularly with our older sisters who also watched it with us would quote the scarier scenes when our parents weren’t around.
You were 11 when the movie came out but now 36? What ?
I just came across this video purely by accident, and I spent the last 3 hours reading the comments. I would like to say, though, that the amount of research you guys put into making this video must have taken a great deal of time. I am impressed and appreciate all your hard work. You are obviously very passionate about what you do, and it truly shows. Thank you for educating everyone on such an interesting topic. Im not even certain I ever really knew that this was based on truth. So many rumors were going around about it back in the 70s, I didnt know what to believe. Fantastic video. I am looking forward to watching more of what you have done. Thank you, thank you!!
I was 19 and stood in line to see it. Made it all the way through, but I certainly took it home with me! I was nervous and on edge for no real reason for several weeks after. No other film has ever affected me nearly as much.
was 16 with high heels and make up to look older could not sleep for nights after watching it now it just looks silly happy days from linda in scotland
I'd say it ranks up there with alien the 1st one.
I won’t watch it
Saw it at 18 with hubby. Made my knees shake. Alien did the same with the knees . It had this affect because I did ouija with friends in Jr. High. A ship's captain was conjured up. Things happened. I know now these are demons (fallen angels). The dead sleep until the Resurrection. They know not anything. Study your Bible for truth. Jesuit society are evil. Wolves in sheep clothing.
Amy, I was about the same age when I saw it at the outdoor drive in theater in Aurora, ILL. I did NOT sleep well for a few days anyway. I felt like my bed was going to shake at anytime 🤯 I remember walking from the car in the parking lot to the building with the restroom. I was SO PARANOID 😲 I thought a car was going to start up and run over me. I am 500% serious, I was freaking out. VERY scary movie for back then 😉
We’ve lived in St. Louis our entire lives and Father Bowdern had a nephew named Ned who was a close family friend. Ned would often talk about his Jesuit uncle who performed the exorcism. The scariest thing was the boy spoke and cursed in Latin....a difficult language to learn that he had no prior knowledge of!! He routinely broke free of the leather straps which held him down. Ned said his uncles hair turned grey within days of completing the exorcism and developed a heart murmur that plagued him the remainder of his life. True story!!
Uh huh sureeeeeeeeeee as true as me having a 40 inch fucking cock 😂😂😂😂😂 or being a trillionaire
Its Jamie Davies I live in the UK how are you 65GTO my mate and brother?
I took latin for 3 years in high school and what actually really freaks me out about the latin claims that often accompany exorcisms is that it’s basically so old that the people who teach it will tell you that you basically can’t speak “complete Latin”. We (modern humans) know a lot of it, but it’s definitely not “mapped out” entirely; both of my Latin teachers said it’s not really a “speakable language” anymore. Which freaks me tf; the language is so old that the people who study it don’t have a full grasp, yet these random humans who’ve never been taught a lick are spewing out sentences and curses?? Nah, that’s scary as all hell to me.
you learn latin in school
@@alexf1525 Its Jamie Davies I hated it at School alexF1 my mate and friend.
When I went to see the Director's Cut, the reactions were nothing like those of 1973. People have become so desensitized to everyday events, that nothing really seems frightening anymore. I remember speaking to an elderly gentlement in 1999 who saw the original "The Mummy" with Boris Karloff back in the early 30's. He was terrified. We've come a long way, but not in a good way.
Absolutely. A similar sort of thing happened to me. I was watching Amityville the Possession with my nephew and his friend, which was a film that caused me and my sister many sleepless nights as kids. Turns out that while watching it with my nephew and Co, they actually found it funny lol
Boundaries are pushed but never contract. Imagine how amazing it was releasing films in the age of innocence around the 60's and 70's as technology and daring marched forwards? Must have been wondeful.
It's not necessarily desensitisation to violence. The idea of a creature with horns in a pit of fire with little demons going about being responsible for the evil in the world is just ridiculous. People are leaving the Dark Ages of religion as education and literacy increases and that is a very good thing.
@@blackoctopusproductions Why was it an age of innocence? Violent crime rates were higher in the 1970s than they are now.
I mean I'm sorry I just can't let this go. Demon possession is one of the most patently stupid things imaginable. How is not taking that seriously bad? Like honestly. Some of us realised that the real horrors are committed by human beings a long time ago. Get scared about that. The fucking 20th century happened and you're whining that things aren't like the good old days because bullshit? THE GODDAMN HOLOCAUST HAPPENED.
THAT MUSIC IS ICONIC I STILL GET THE CHILLS WHEN I HERE IT DOES ANYONE ELSE CMON BE TRUTHFUL
you bet😅
I used for Halloween ringtone and Halloween teme for Tex!!!😊😊
@@martinparsons4743 it's called "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield. Check out "Tubular Bells 2", quite a nice collection of music as well. There's a song called "The Bell" on there that is really good
Yeah even for those of us who grew up on Jason Vorhees and the Ghostface killer, The Exorcist still manages to genuinely shock all these years later. Now that's a feat, it truly deserves its place as an icon in the horror genre.
Absolutely!... 100%. A place in horror movie history- forever! 😱❤️
I remember when I first watched it I was like wtf. It’s so different from other horror movies. Gives me unsettling feeling watching it.
@@gertskook yes!
💯
I agree. The movie scared me shit
My friend used to live just across from that house. Her experience living so close to it gave her heavy eerie feeling. She was terrified going alone. She said she always had feeling that someone was watching her. I can’t imagine living close to this house...
I wouldn’t doubt that the demon was still in the area.
@@Lulusvideos1LOL! 😂
The demon probably got on a plane and went somewhere else
Someone is ALWAYS watching.
Lol people are so easy to buy into crap
Cctv and ring doorbells will usually give you that feeling nowadays
When I saw your notification: I got my coffee, closed my office door and took a 22:18 break!! It's truly spin chilling knowing my favorite movie of all time is based on real life events. Outstanding work once again Michael and Jessica!!! Much love from Kenosha!
me to Liverpool where i am England is a sinister place
@Matt Daniel - I didn't know myself till the early 1990's then I bought the book based on the real case and read it. I can't remember the author's name, sorry.
You are a true fan of the paranormal 👍 You are 1 of us and we are many .
Rollin-in-dough is the head priest....what a badass dude!!
I want a job where I can do that. What do you do?
I saw this movie with my mother and my aunt when I was 16 in the summer of 1973. Being raised Catholic it both intrigued and terrified me. I began hysterically crying when the young priest fell down those iconic stairs. For the rest of the summer, I had to sleep with a light on and barely could close my eyes in the shower for fear of seeing those scary visions played throughout the movie.
Years later, a newly ordained priest was assigned to our parish and was doted on by some of the older ladies in the parish including my mother. Eventually he was moved around to different parishes and then sent to Italy to became an exorcist priest. He'd meet up with the ladies from the original parish for lunches and few times a year.
He baptized my son, and came back to our parish to say my mother's celebration of life mass. He's a wonderfully, humble and kind priest to this day and still performing exorcisms.
I thought tha was banned for the church after Emily rose case
Thanks for visiting our church! I'm the one you got a candle from. 😁 We actually have a woman here who gives tours, and she's done them specifically about the exorcism before. Next time you're in town, feel free to reach out and I can put you in touch with her. I'm also sending you a couple of souvenirs. Blessings to you! - Angela
That sounds awesome some! I'd love to take a visit, not for the story of the actual exorcism, but for your beautiful church. Maybe one day I'll be able to attend mass there. God bless! ✝️
@@holdingsteadfast You'd be very welcome! We also have our Masses online in the meantime, and any time you're in St. Louis, feel free to stop by! God bless you.
It's a magnificent Church
Your church is lovely
Such a beautiful church and so peaceful I’m sure it’s even more wonderful in person
As horror goes? It was very well done. Especially for the time. Compared to horror films created now, this one still tops everything. The majority of of horror now are nothing but gore and they're ridiculously predictable. You need suspense and intrigue and unpredictability. The Exorcist has everything needed to keep you glued to the screen.
Thank you for interesting story.
Ya For sure. Movies today never will compare to the movies back in the day when they actually did acting and makeup. Now a days it's all cgi
One of the most terrifying true horror films ever. Still can't watch it at 55. 😮
Emily Rose...
Glued to the screen and scared to sleep at night. 😂
I cheer whenever I see these clips of the audience's reactions. Sheer proof of just how much of a masterpiece this movie is. The directing, acting, lighting, make up, practical effects. Everything about this movie is brilliant. I'm writing this 3 minutes in, so now, back to the true stories LOL. Thanks again for the vids man. you're the best
I saw the film when I was 14 back in 1976. I have never seen an audience react to an image projected onto a blank screen the way I did that night (except for Beyond The Door). Seeing grown men and women shudder with shock and horror during certain moments was more frightening than what was going on in the movie itself. Today digital effects do everything and nothing looks real or terrifying. The old ways were better.

I first watched the film aged 8 with my twin sister. Our older brothers put it on the VHS recorder. This was in the age of 'video nasties'. My sister and i were profoundly traumatised. I watched it again aged 20 at a special screening at the cinema. It still scared me witless. That was the last time i watched it. I have loved horror films and all things spooky since childhood. I started reading the book during lockdown but abandoned it as it seemed to be affecting me in a strange way.
I am 51 now, and do not think i can watch The Exorcist again. It affected me in a way that other horror films haven't. Great video, thanks so much. Sarah, London, UK.
I am 50 and watched it for the first time when I was about 7. Maybe it was on HBO or maybe we rented it somehow. I don’t know. But no child should ever watch that movie. For years I would jump into bed after shutting out the light, because I imagined she was under the bed, ready to snatch my feet if I got close enough to the bed. I swear, as a seven year old, I could probably jump ten feet! (An exaggeration, maybe.)
Wow those interviews they did with those people in the theater that were watching the movie were fascinating. The answers they gave as to why they left in the middle of the movie were really eye opening. You never see that kind of innocence in people in the world today. People back then were a lot more sensitive and aware of the impact of watching something violent or evil has on an individual. What you saw and what you said actually mattered back then. Today human beings are completely desensitized by such things. Hell The exorcist seems tame by today’s standards, kids today would laugh at it. It’s sad because you will never see this kind of nobility or innocence ever again, mankind has traded decency and dignity for vulgarity and degradation.
I'm not so sure. There are horror movies today but that one was on a different level. A very different and more personal kind of horror.
Honestly I totes agree with you and that's why these movies get more and more violent and outlandish, need shock value. I saw the exorcist when I was 12 abd slept w the light on for weeks. Scary shit. 😨
Absolutely, but in a way I think it still depends on the souls of the innocent
Kids today.......Boop.
No, I don’t think that kids will laugh with all strange inexplicable phenomenon occurs !
My father knew one of the priests who performed the exorcism and told my mom this story before the movie came out. Some of the scenes were filmed at my alma mater, Fordham University. I always felt a major connection to this story. Great video.
How much of that movie was related to the story by your father
You can read about it on line
Lot's of articles.of what's supposed to be true. The head spinning was never confirmed true or false.
Dang
So it dad was born in the 1700s lol amd still around uo the shit people make up
This did not take place in the 1700s. What are you talking about?
I worked in St Louis with a nursing manager who had worked with the priests involved in the case. This nurse had a large stone statue in her office of a weeping angel with a broken wing. She said it had came from the office of one of the priests. She had worked at the hospital where the boy was taken while possessed. She said the elevator would not go to the floor the boy had stayed on no matter how many times they tried to have it fixed. They couldn't find anything mechanically wrong with the elevator. She had a lot of creepy stories about what went on.
I once encountered a statue of a woman with eyes looking directly at me as i walked by.

I worked at that same hospital!! It had the worst, scariest feeling about it ever
Maybe, just possibly, the priests were the problem.

I was a small child spending the night at my friends house. Her teenage sister saw the movie that night, and proceeded to tell us all about it. I couldn’t sleep for days. The only movie that truly still scares me, to this day.

We're open weekdays between about 7 am and 2 pm. You'd be welcome to stop by!
Michael, you've outdone yourself! If you keep putting out material like this, I'll happily sit through all the ads! 😉 My Exorcist story begins with me at age 12, getting into the original run of the movie with my 17 year old sister. It was the most terrified I had ever been, and I spent many sleepless and nightmare filled nights afterwards. To this day at age 61, I still don't think I've ever seen a movie that comes close to the true terror The Exorcist brought me. 👹 Blessings to you and Jessica!

I first watched “The Exorcist” in 1980 when I was seven. It just happened to be playing late one night on television, and as I watched it alone, I wasn’t scared since it didn’t make sense to me. Growing up I became a fan of horror movies and when I finally understood what the movie was about, I was intrigued by the entire subject and theme of the story even though I was scared of it. At one point I purchased original photo prints from the movie reel, and I experienced a few unexplainable events. My obsession was a little too much. Years later, I tried reading the book “Possessed” by Thomas B. Allen (the account of the real boy Ronald E. Hunkeler aka Roland Doe), and twice I couldn’t finish it. The descriptions are so vivid. It got to the point where I didn’t want the book in my home. I am a big horror movie fan… have it on vhs still. To this day, it is the scariest movie for me. Nothing tops it. However, now I cannot watch it alone, or at night, or in my home. It freaks me out. And those 5x6 photos, I tore them into tiny pieces and threw them away.
I feel the same way. I can watch any horror film EXCEPT the Exorcist or similar possession movies. It scares the hell out of me that possession can and does happen.
Nuwer, I wonder if you’ve watched The Shining. If so…could you compare the two please?
Evil dead (the more recent movie) is another hard one to watch.
@@bruceebe And now I have to watch it.
Love your story.
When I was in high school, my best friend's mom used to take out scary movies, which off course we didn't watch because we were too scared. Anyway, what we then did was to skip school the next day and then watch it before she had to return the movies. Long story short, my friend's mom is the reason why I love scary movies. I will switch off all the lights, and if there's a thunder storm outside, even better.
Awesome, thanks for taking us along for the tour!
I didn't realize that this happened in St. Louis! The scariest part of the movie for me was when she was running down the stairs upside down, crablike. Soooo creepy! 😫
That what the standout scene for me too. Scared the shit out of me lol. I was a child and I slept in my mom’s bed for weeks.
@@katelynm.9510 Omg it STILL scares the shit out of me and I'm 53 😫😁
I agree with you. It was so bizarre and fast. I think that the first shocker, for me, was at the very second when the demon's voice had took over Regan. It seems like nobody is braced for that horrific voice. It still puts chills up my back to this day + I am 59.
I was thinking the crab walk scene was in directors cut,but I may be wrong.tje only difference I saw was they show the demon three times on the walls.
Yes I couldn't believe it happened in St Loo either because that's where Linda's from.Small world!
@@samprimera5545 oh wow. Didn't realize that Linda is from there as well. Small world indeed
What is intriguing is that the young people who were being interviewed by the reporter in 1973 were in their early 20s, which was 50 years ago. If they are still alive, they would be around 70 years old or older now. It would be nice to hear from them if they are still around.
I was 16 in 1973. Its still the scariest experience I ever had. I was afraid of the dark for years.

I lived across the street from the house in (Cottage City) Maryland where it all started for almost three years while in high school. I heard a lot of stories about strange happenings in the houses on either side of that one, but i never experienced anything myself. However, I was relieved when we finally moved off of that street.

Blown away with this one. That church…OMG! Absolutely gorgeous.
Thank y’all for all that y’all do. Truly amazing.
Here's a fun fact.
I attended Concordia Seminary in the mid 90s. There is a former student's master's thesis in the library on the occult. For part of his research he interviewed one of the old priests who conducted some of the exorcisms on Roland/Ronald. What's described in the thesis is the child sitting in a fetal position on a chair during the rite. The chair would slowly rock and balance on the back legs and communion wafers would fly around the room along with other levitations.
For doubters, keep in mind this was a scholarly paper for a degree. The academic board would not accept folklore or fables in the presentation.
Go look it up.
I can't say exactly what happened in the true story! I'm not sure anyone can as exercism is something the Catholic church absolutely does not talk about! It's a very protected secretive thing! Mainly because it is a very traumatic process & can be very difficult & embarrassing for the subject & also the family! Some of the things that are said & occur are well like I said! Some actually die! So the movie it portrayed many things but it doesn't truly tell the real story! It uses bits & pieces adds things for sensationalism! So it's very difficult to know the true story! It sure isn't this movie!
I went to a catholic high school and my geometry teacher was a priest. We all got on the subject one time and he actually got a copy of documents from the Vatican about this exorcism, including the priest's official diary and read those to us. That scared the shit out of me because it was real!
Jesus
@@sangdrax5352 I'm shocked they shared anything especially kid's that's stuff nightmares come from! I probably would have lost it! Jesus!
More confirmation of why not to "play" with the Ouija board.
Devil is real and you don't have to play with that to get possessed by demonic spirit
You may think it is a toy it is really a door way to the darkest part that if you do not know what your doing could lead to you passing our family members dieing ,you got to know what words to speak an say to close the doorway that you opened if you don't know the demons or false spirits will leak through the board . also burning it you can hear screams comming from the board it is NOT a TOY, anyone one buying it is going to condemn there child an going to cause them to go through trouble all there lives IT IS NOT A TOY TO BE PLAYED WITH
The only protection one can have from demons is to accept Christ. That’s the armor that keeps them from entering or controlling one’s body.

The Exorcist was the only movie that stands out over any other scary movie based on how serious and meticulously it was made for its time, other scary movies like Freddy Kruger or Halloween never had such an impact. A movie such as this is rare and I don’t think can be repeated the same.. Thank you for the upload.

Or Rosemary’s baby as well….talk about creepy…😳😱
I think the first Nightmare on Elm Street was pretty scary back then. It sure made me afraid to open my eyes at night
I've lived in st louis my whole life and while knowing that the real story of the Exorcist took place here, I had no idea the exact locations. Beautiful video and thanks for filling us all in
I used to live right down the street from Alexian Bros hospital
Fantastic church
I was the cinematographer on Exocist "House of Evil" in 2015. We shot the movie inside the actual house. The boy's bedroom was on the second floor at the back of the house but the basement was the eerie part of the house. There was a drawing on the wall of a small boy with the image of a devil on his shoulder.
I love how respectful he is to the people in the church praying
My mother went to Xavier High School and nursing school in StL and worked at that hospital for a bit. I started watching this video because I am from St. Louis and wanted to confirm this information my mother told me about the Exorcist. She told me that that part of the hospital, the room he was exorcised was closed off, but not that wing of the hospital. She said that wing of the hospital was very eerie and cold and gave you bad feelings. My father is also buried in Calgary... Wow, good work! thanks for the doc!👍
Hello Kelly how are you doing today
Xavier high school is in Cincinnati and it’s an all boys school. I work there
The Alexian Brothers hospital was completely demolished and a new building was built in its place in 1979. St. Alexius hospital is the one that’s shown in the video that took it’s place. Tours are given in St.Louis stating that St. Alexius had a wing that was closed off but that’s obviously not true and was at the previous hospital.
Just clicking on this vid gave me chills, something about the film still gives me the creepies to this day. Love this ! Well Done !
I’m live in STL and have my whole life.. there is a lot of hidden stories here. One being a apartment building here for low income residents which used to be a hospital.. my mom worked there and have been there myself. A man died on the 13th floor from demonic activity. Many people on that floor started experiencing paranormal things so they shut the floor down. Another is the house on Plant Ave in Webster Groves... lots of history there as well. It’s said that if you look in the window you will sometimes see a boy and women in the window which many people have encountered. The Lemp Mansion is another on the list.. the list goes on.
St. L is demonic because of the heavy Catholic influence that goes on there behind closed doors that the sheep are oblivious to. Luciferian priests in high places. The Mother church is the Harlot and Great Babylon which leads all the other denominations to follow and wonder after this Beast power.
Yes girl!! I can attest to the Lemp mansion. I used to live right around the corner and it always gave me such a weird vibe too. Not sure the history behind it, but the Melvin Theatre was another that I always hated having to walk past to the bus stop.
@@omgimarie I’m gonna have to look into the theatre! Don’t know much about it but agreed ! super creepy vibes in some areas and buildings here!!

I live in St. Louis, as well. 👊
Doesn't the Lemp Mansion have family suicides associated with it?
@@jesusnameaboveallnames7369 Yes, very sad. I believe I seen in a bookstore in the local section about the history of Lemp.
"Keep away! The sow is mine!" This is probably the most famous line in the movie.
Love this movie. The first time I saw it was the censored version on cable when I was 10. Years later, I finally bought the DVD with the commentary and thoroughly enjoyed it. I learned so much about the movie.
Great video.
I was (1974-75) a chaplain assistant at the old hospital, and truly Ronnie's room was untouched and sealed in fact, the whole floor of the hospital was CLOSED. Imagine how much revenue was lost and therefore a new hospital was built to replace it. When the building was torn down some witnesses claim an unidentified creature was seen escaping from Ronnie's chamber. Despite my attempts to visit the vacant floor, I never succeeded but was told by the hospital administration "Nobody goes up there".
My dad was 17 when he watched it with his friends (cinema) . They ended up sleeping in a temple, too afraid to cycle back home. Now he is 65 years old.
I'm not sure how old the two of you are, I'm 56 and a horror movie fan. Also know history fairly well, I've watched a number of your videos, and I'm greatly impressed with the knowledge you have of these events and what was going on at the time. That goes for every video I've watched. Its enlightening then hear the true stories that some movies were based on, and I appreciate the time you take to research before touring the locations. Also the footage of the films as well as archival news tidbits is excellent. Keep up the great work. We need to remember these atrocities just as you say in the hopes of preventing future acts, and sadly, stopping current ones. Humans are quite vicious at times and we must be aware that the faces we show the world on the outside do not reflect who we are on the inside. Great job.
Back in the early 80's I met one the doctors from Saint Elisabeth's hospital in Washington DC. He told me that while working as an intern at the time he assisted the medical doctor that evaluated the haunted boy. He said the boy had a severe multiple personality disorder with violent outbursts and was treated as a psych patient. He said after a week of treatment at Saint Elisabeth's hospital the boys parents checked him out and left.
Very well done video. It is so hard to imagine in our world today how it would have felt to have NEVER seen a film like that before and I think what scared them even more was knowing it was based on real events. I feel bad for the audience that got affected in that way.You and Jessica always do such a great job making these videos and I learn so much.
Awesome! I love all the extras on your tours !!! Great content!
I remember watching The Exorcist and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre one after the other when I was 8 years old. I was terrified, but never looked back. It started my love of horror and all things spooky 👻
Is the Exorcist good and how scary is it I’ve never watched it
@@kyra4504 Yeah it's an all time classic horror film. It still scares me all these years later even though I've seen it multiple times.
Yes I too saw it at the age of 8, yeah our father took us to go see this movie at a very young age, which was in the 70's, and The Exorcist is the reason for my obsession of Horror's and Thrillers...
A very big horror fan myself...
And I'm definitely going into my
Horror dvd 📀 collection which
Consists of over 1000 movie's...
And watching this horror classic
Tonight of course with the light's
On... 😂
@@kyra4504 you're being sarcastic right ?
This is soooo awesome to see!! I remember those reports of people getting sick and some running out of the theater!! I was a latch key kid during that time, and I would be home by myself and just hearing that music during the trailer was just so scary!! I did not watch The Exorcist until my mid 40s, I love horror movies; but I think that The Exorcist is the scariest movie ever made!! Thank you for all of your hard work and for making these videos for us!! Take Care!
It has to be. I don't think any horror movie comes close. They can create whatever horrific image you can think of with cgi but nothing will compare to what the makeup artists did with the posseses girl. It's the scariest thing I've ever seen. I don't think I'm alone
It is even sad to think that some of this moviegoers have already gone by now😔
@@amd1273 Very true. Today's fans have been spoiled, if I may be so frank, by CGI.
@@rezaabdul8595 And most of the cast.onfs Blair, and the lady who played her mother are still with us.😊
I, as a life-long horror film fan and former Catholic, agree with you. I can think of no other film that comes close, maybe " The Omen," but, for my money, "The Exorcist," is, no contest, "the most frightening film ever made!"
This is so well detailed, I didn't know many of the facts and informative details myself. What a treat to tune into this!
Cinematography of Exorcist was a Marvellous piece of work!!
The video of the church is beautiful, the video of the inside is gorgeous. You did a great job on capturing it. So cool that you guys unearth so much history and take us along for the ride!
I love the stories, but what keeps me coming back is the respect you show in all aspects of your videos. It really sets you apart. Thanks for another great video.
It’s crazy you can tell those people were really affected after watching the movie…. OMG why did u just flash that demon pazuzu face on screen?! Scared the hell out of me 😂😂😂😂
Hi Guys!! I've recently found your youtube page and I really liove the work you guys do in yourn short documentaries! I just wanted to say hello and that I truly enjoy what you do
-Brad
The parts that still upset me the most are all the painful and intrusive medical tests she had to go through. They looked absolutely dreadful, and you know there would be people who would have to go through similar treatments in real life for various ailments to find answers.
Correct. The emphasis was on making the movie as real as possible.
I would say the most upsetting scene besides that was her stabbing her private area with the crucifix while saying F Jesus. That scene left a heavy impact on me. Very intense. The medical scenes were upsetting as well too.
I was 9 years old, when I first saw this movie,and 50 years later, it continues to be the scariest movie I've ever seen. I NEVER forgot her face, and ALWAYS pray when I'm home alone. It really impacted me and NO other movie will ever compare to this one!!🤯🤯🤯
Thank you for recognizing the beauty and history of St. Louis. The past 10 years have made things really rough for the city but hopefully things will improve! Edit: they do tours of Bellefontaine and Calvary each October--both have famous people buried in their confines. Come back anytime!!
I’d say the city looks better now than it did 10 years ago. At least downtown
You have gone above and beyond on your investigation and reporting on the history and pseudo history of the Exorcist event. Excellent job!
It's hard to imagine that it was when The Exorcist was released in the theaters, another family is experiencing the horror of their lifetime at a farm house at Rhode Island which later came to be the inspiration for the film 'The Conjuring'.
Great movie.I watched it when I was about 13..it had been released over 10years by then and people were still talking about it and how scary it was...a classic nowadays..Great video.
The thing I LOVE about The Exorcist is that the horror grows with you. I saw it as a child and related to Regan, then I grew up and became a mother, I now relate to her mother and the horror of watching that happen to your child. I also relate to Father Karras and his terror and guilt over the aging and death of his own mother.
I'm surprised you saw it as a child. It wasn't suitable for children.
@@johnbuckley8099 Ha! When you come from a horror living family, they start young!
Imagine a 13 year old Linda blair..doin this movie..what she did with the cross..no way..dont care how much you pay us..thats total blasfemy..10th degree.
Being from St.Louis, I’ve always been interested in the history of the Exorcist. There are a lot of rumors and misinformation out there about this and it took me awhile to figure out the facts.Thanks for getting it right.
Lots of misinformation when it comes to the DC area house as well, like the address and "it was burned down years ago "
Not true. It's still there
I knew I recognized that green hair. I saw you two filming this the other day (She was sitting next to the lady/baby statue while I was at the light in a black 6 seat🤣) and I wondered what you guys were doing...now I see. Very interesting video! Cool to know this actual story
I stood in line to watch "The Exorcist" in 1973. Yes, some of the older people exiting the theater as we were entering looked a bit pale and shell shocked, but there was none of the fainting, vomiting, hysteria that the media were going overboard on reporting. The green paint puke and a couple of the special effects looked hokey, even to a 1973 audience. Still. the film was a cultural phenomenon. Good job on your video!
The theater that showed the original Exorcist got turned into an Aldi. I wonder if molecules reassemble and people freak out somewhere near canned goods.
It actually wasn't green paint, it was pea soup. Also, the film was not a "horror film". It was criticized by the catholic church only until the middle 2000's when they revisited the film again. They changed their mind about the film and now acknowledged it's importance. It was a film about sacrifice, redemption and Satan's workings through guilt. It's a horror film only if you are a non believer.
@@elle9543 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good one ! 👍
@@elle9543do you know what I just realized remember it being back in my room my house right now I just let you know
@@elle9543it's looks like going on ghost girl she was in movie theater in her horror movie story ture life look like she feels like
I saw the "Exorcist " when it first came out in 1973. I was a sophomore in high school. I learned It was based on real events. It was literally the scariest movie I've ever seen....still is.
Went to Saint Louis University. One of the young novice priests present at the exorcism. He became a professor at SLU and taught a class in evil and demonic. I didn't attend that class but had an impromptu conversation with him. Incredibly smart and kind man. You could see it in his eyes, he'd seen some crazy business in that room.
I wasn't allowed to watch the exorcist until I was 18 and even then, I was bothered. My mom was right there to help me calm down, and this is one of the only scary movies my dad refuses to watch because he hates it.
My dad didn’t sleep for a week after seeing it lol
I will not be alloy to watch this movie until I Will be 80.
I watched it when I was about 17 I think. I didn’t read the book till I was 21, and I listened to the audio book. I watched it during the day, so that helped my mind at night, but my uncle read it before bed when he was in his mid 20’s and he had to sleep with the lights on for about a week, cause he was so scared.
@@mariepotter8921 Always read horror at night, when poi. One gets the full effect , be it Poe, Lovecraft, or modern authors.👻
I watched this when I was 10 or 11 years old and it traumatised me for many years!
I've lived in St. Louis my whole life and my family lived directly across the street from St. Alexis hospital. My aunt and grandmother worked at the hospital during the exorcism! The floor that it was performed on was closed off from the rest of the hospital.
Yes it was.
I grew up in the suburbs of St. Louis and had a teacher who said he previously worked at the hospital and told our class one day about the exorcism that occurred there. He said that they first closed off the hospital room and then the entire floor. I also recall him saying there was a very loud boom (he said similar to a sonic boom) heard within the hospital at the last exorcism. performed at the hospital. Who knows if that was an embellishment.
The Exorcism actually took place next door to the hospital at a Jesuit rectory. The building was torn down. I was born in Alexian Brothers hospital and my Uncle worked there for awhile.
I really appreciate the respect you guys had for the church throughout the video
Great coverage of this topic. Certainly more respectful than the ghost chasers who showed up several years ago and did an embarrassing live broadcast from that house. I read the book in high school during study hall over a few weeks, despite reading in broad daylight it was terrifying and stayed in my head for weeks.
Omg I saw the post and felt chills all over my body. You guys rock!
👍 Guadalajara Mexico 🇲🇽
I grew up in St Louis right down the street from their house so I know a little bit about this and you've done a really good job putting it all together very impressive it was very hush-hush and kept very quiet from the public for a very very long time it was not talked about and it's good to finally listen to it all knowing the facts you really did a fantastic job thank you
And you think it's the wind ;-)
Who the hell would live in the house where it really happened, that is insane
People who don't believe in superstition and wizards lol
The devil
I would
Because it’s not the house that matters
the house can be blessed by a Roman Catholic priest
Interesting video!! I grew up right across from a drive in theater and one summer I would try to sleep with the sounds of the Exorcist!! It freaked me out for sure!
I was 17 when I watched the movie. Always a horror movie fan but found this movie to be disturbing. It plays with the mind.
Hello Angela how are you doing today
Exorcist! Finally!!!
Thank you guys so much for doing this iconic film that I’m personally proud of sharing my birthday with it’s release date.
🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
Still my fav horror film.
Im from St Louis, my Aunt was in the choir at that church, and when she passed away, her funeral was held there as well. I had never been there, and was stuck by how pretty it was. Im not even really religious but that church is worth a look regardless of your religious standing. I did not know, however, the history of it in regards to the exorcism. Very cool.
Thanks for the kind words!
My mother grew up in STL as well as myself, and she told me this story many times. One particular story she told me was that when the hospital demolished the building where the exorcism room was located that during the demolition the building stopped in mid air before crumbling into a pile of bricks and rubbish. I will never forget that story.
This was so interesting as I am from St. Louis! I was always told that the elevator in the hospital would not stop at that floor and that floor was left as is until it was torn down
As a SLU alum, we (students) often speculated about the Exorcist connection. Glad you could show how beautiful St. Francis Xavier is.
I'm in love with the way these two are are portraying all the events . Need more of such real life based horror stories. Continue the good work ❤️
They look like no worry of any demons possessing them since they already worship evil with their clothes and tattoos.
Another great video! ❤ thank you for sharing the story.
I live in St Louis and this story was something I wasn’t allowed to talk about. I’ve got to see that gorgeous sanctuary you showed. That was breathtaking.
I live in St. Louis and anytime anyone says anything supernatural here they bring up the Exorcist. Hell my husband was born and raised and was Catholic and talks about it every time it comes up or we drive over that way for anything lol
@@masunrise7471 I think I was just not allowed to talk about it because I was a squall ass who didn’t sleep when I was scared. lol
You'd be welcome to come visit! We keep the church open during the day, usually from 7 am to 2 pm or so. St. Francis Xavier College Church, corner of Grand and Lindell.
I was born and raised in the CITY of STL.
My Dad worked security at Alexian Brothers Hospital when I was a baby. He doesn’t like to talk about it but confirms the wing was closed off.
I am a St Louis University Alumni and one of my professors spoke openly about being a young priest that attended part of the exorcism.
First time I’ve heard ANYONE tell the entire story CORRECTLY.
You guys are AWESOME!
Lol girl I never heard of someome going from a priest to a professor lol.
@@princesssplts9152 There are clergy that have other jobs such as scientists, educators etc. It is a thing. Nothing weird or unheard of there.

What were you under the impression Catholic Clergy did with themselves?
Every single principal I’ve had elementary through undergrad was either a Priest or a Nun.
Father “Al Sal the Principal” at Our Lady of Lourdes.
Sister “Mount Helen” at JFK Catholic HS.
Of course the Jesuits are professors and professionals at SLU (St Louis University).
It’s their damn school!
@@Wildflower-bc4ky you didn’t think they contracted out for Jimmy Swaggert or Jim Baker did you?
I grew up in St. Louis and was too young to see the movie when it came out, but we all certainly knew about it. In the 70's, we always had to drive by that old hospital on the way to my grandparent's house. After the movie came out, even driving by the hospital scared to crap out of me. Even after it was torn down, it still scared me. I was relieved when my grandparents moved and we didn't have to drive by that site anymore.
There was a common rumor around town that when the hospital was torn down, the wrecking ball was swerved away from hitting in the area where the exorcism took place. No clue if that really happened or it was just legend shared by kids.
There's a video on youtube somewhere of a medium walking around that parking lot where to old hospital once stood. She said she senses a female presence that is being protective, but she also senses a dark/negative energy there as well. She thinks the female presence is a nun that died there and she is keeping the place safe.
I absolutely love this movie and book. The latter I've read over half dozen times. The former I've watched even more. Wonderfully acted and portrayed. I walked home, many a night hoping there wasnt a blue moon present. Thank yoy again guys for this. 😊
Nothing strange ever happened to you after reading the book.??
Nothing strange ever happened to you after reading the book.??
St. Alexius Hospital has been closed awhile...but there has always been the knowledge that the particular room in the hospital was closed off and nursing staff would talk about seeing and hearing things that alot of nurses would quit. it definitely is a big scarey part of St. Louis!!

Omigosh, I didn't know Jessica is from St. Louis! I am originally from/live now in, Western New York, but I lived in St. Louis for 10 years...worked at Grant's Farm. Could you two ever visit Alton, IL? There are so many ghost stories there that you could spend a long time there.
I went with a Ghost hunters group and investigated a bar in Alton. Got hit with a static surge in one area. Made my hair on my arms stand up straight. A window blew out after we left another location north of there that used to be a night club. Very active region.
Knowing the stories behind the stories of our favorite movies/books is always fun.
Probably the scariest movie I seen as a kid but didn't remember the quija board. I would never mess around with another quija board though and after 30 yrs i still haven't. I seen things happen that I never care to see again. Never knew the whole story though, I definitely enjoyed it . Great job you two . God Bless
The Ouija board was being PLAYED in the basement by Reagan alone. Mom told her it won't work with just one person and the slider shot over to NO when it was asked if mom could play.
Ouija boards are not by themselves evil and are not going to get you possessed. It's simply a divination tool that must be used properly like any other. If you leave the spiritual doorway open with any divination tool you leave a space for things to come through good and bad. Don't blame the ouija board blame the person misusing it.
@@ultimatepitviper I agree and the same goes with guns or anything that has the possibility to harm a person. The problem is when people lay them around with other board games like monopoly. It's easy for a young person to associate it with fun and games and not take it serious. Unfortunately nobody down here is perfect and can walk on water. God Bless
My friend her sister n law and myself was dumb enough to try one when I was like 21 I still Try to erase it from my memory. That thing spelled out my grandparents name's my social and told me what was going to happen to me. I'm scared even typing this. We we're fucking stupid!
@@DGsKattKatt I was a teenager and the one communicating with the spirit. It took about 15 minutes or so before anything happened and it definitely give some answers that spooked us. It wasn't until later that night by myself when I tried it that objects moved by themselves with alot of force. The house was known for it's paranormal activity and was warned not to do anything. But like a young punk I didn't listen and learned a lesson.
Thanks for your story . God Bless
