The Exorcist Diary Reviewed
"January 15, 1949, at the home of R in Cottage City, Maryland a dripping noise was heard by R and his Grandmother in the Grandmother's bedroom. This noise continued for a short time and then the picture of Christ on the wall thumped. By the time the parents of R returned home there was a very definite scratching sound under the floor boards near the grandmother's bed. From this night on, the scratching was heard every night about seven o'clock and would continue until midnight."
So begins "The Exorcist Diary," the true story of the Exorcist.
The Exorcist is of course an iconic horror movie from 1973, based on a novel by author William Peter Blatty. The subject of the story is a young girl possessed by demonic forces and the priests who work to drive the devils from her.
The film terrified moviegoers at the time, but the truly creepy thing about the story is that it was based on actual events. The root of the tale is a possession suffered by a young boy in 1949.
