The 14-Year-Old Boy Behind 'The Exorcist'

In 1949, a Maryland family was in crisis. Their 14-year-old son, "Roland Doe," was under attack by an unseen force that baffled medical science. After doctors and psychiatrists found no conventional answers, the desperate family turned to their last hope: the Catholic Church. What followed was a harrowing, 30-rite exorcism. Priests documented a voice (not his own) speaking in ancient languages and violent, unexplained scratches appearing on the walls. This terrifying, real-life account became the direct inspiration for the novel and film, "The Exorcist." Our full investigation into the Roland Doe case is linked below.
