#264 True Story Behind The Exorcist - Roland Doe’s Demonic Possession

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe 1949 events concerning one Roland Doe. Or is that Robbie Mannheim? Or was it actually in fact Ronald Edwin Hunkeler? Roland was born on the 01/06/1930 to a German Lutheran family and his life took a turn towards the dark when his play buddy aunt Harriet passed away. Harriet had allegedly introduced Roland to the occult and early in 1949 strange things begun manifesting through Roland. We are taking unexplained scratches, flying items, moving beds - the works. This case has been documented in the diary of a priest - holy evidence! Fortunately, many holy folk were on hand to held the family and a great battle may have ensued. Was it a one demon possession? Ten demons? A case of difficult mental health? All of the above? Roswell? These events went on to inspire famous book and movie The Exorcist. Alongside that, we ponder whether the fate of the universe could be decided on a game of Tiddlywinks… All that and more on this week’s file.
