  • 68 - #057 The Demonic Possession of Roland Doe: A Terrifying Encounter with Evil

    In this episode of 'From the Word Ghost', hosts AJ and Jamie delve into the chilling story behind the 1970s horror movie classic, 'The Exorcist', focusing on one of its inspirations - the exorcism of Roland Doe (also known as Ronald Hunkeler). The podcast kicks off with some light banter between AJ and Jamie, including a comedic mishap involving a cable order. As the ghostly narrative unfolds, they recount the tale of Roland Doe, a young boy from Washington D.C. who, after the death of his spiritual Aunt Harriet, began experiencing disturbing paranormal phenomena. This leads his family to seek help, resulting in a series of exorcisms performed by Catholic priests who believed Roland was possessed by demons. The hosts inject humor and skepticism throughout the discussion, exploring the absurdity of some historical exorcism practices and questioning the legitimacy of the events. The episode concludes with Roland's liberation from possession after invoking Saint Michael’s aid, leaving listeners with a blend of horror, history, and humor.
