Welcome back to another episode of Story Behind the Screams, I'm your host Aran and in this week's episode, we take a look at the real-life inspiration behind one of the greatest horror movies of all time - The Exorcist.In the late 1940s, in the United States, priests of the Roman Catholic Church performed a series of exorcisms on an anonymous boy, documented under the pseudonym "Roland Doe" or "Robbie Mannheim". The 14-year-old boy was the alleged victim of demonic possession, and the events were recorded by the attending priest, Raymond J. Bishop. Subsequent supernatural claims surrounding the events were used as elements in William Peter Blatty's 1971 novel The Exorcist. In December 2021, The Skeptical Inquirer and The Guardian reported the purported true identity of Roland Doe/Robbie Mannheim as Ronald Edwin Hunkeler (June 1, 1935 – May 10, 2020).Credit - https://www.novelsuspects.com/articles/roland-doe/Follow here for more content - https://linktr.ee/FirstClassHorror
A fines de la década de 1940, en los Estados Unidos, sacerdotes de la Iglesia Católica Romana realizaron una serie de exorcismos a un niño anónimo, documentado bajo el seudónimo de "Roland Doe" o "Robbie Mannheim". El niño de 14 años fue la presunta víctima de una terrible posesión demoníaca, y los hechos fueron registrados por el sacerdote asistente, Raymond J. Bishop. Las afirmaciones sobrenaturales posteriores que rodearon los eventos se utilizaron como elementos en la novela El exorcista de William Peter Blatty en 1973, película basada en esta historia.
