The Case That Inspired The Exorcist | The Terrifying Exorcism Of Roland Doe

Mystery Archives Episodes

Considered to be one of the most terrifying films of all time. The movie The Exorcist paralyzed the masses upon its release and brought the devil home to millions of people. Although the horror and special effects enhanced the story being portrayed, What if I told you that this story itself was inspired by a true story of demonic possession? When a young boy loses his beloved aunt, he starts to dabble with the occult and makes contact with the other side, but what he contacts isn't what he bargained for. What follows not only terrified a family but, by proxy, thousands of people all over the world. This is the terrifying story of the exorcism of Roland Doe and the demons that plagued him. Roland Doe or Robbie Doe are aliases used to conceal the true identity of the individual(s) involved. In 1949, priests performed an exorcism on a boy referred to as "Roland Doe," a.k.a. Ronald Hunkeler, in a chilling ordeal that became the real-life inspiration for The Exorcist.
