This week we finish out the story of the Exorcism of Roland Doe. Father Raymond J. Bishop wrote a case study detailing each day of Roland's exorcism that we will go over today. He, along with the Alexian Brothers, Father William S. Bowdern, Father VanRoo, Father O'Flaghtery, and Walter H. Halloran performed the exorcism on a young boy dubbed Roland Doe. It's time to grab a blanket, and a drink, and dive into the true story of the Exorcism of Roland Doe.

We asked, you answered, we delivered! Today we are covering the true story behind the inspiration for the movie The Exorcist. The Exorcism of Roland Doe was once a story simply passed on by word of mouth, until construction workers made a legendary discovery. Before tearing down the old Alexian Brothers Hospital in St. Louis Missouri, they discovered a locked room containing a desk. Inside the desk held the diary of Father Bishop, one of many who participated in the exorcism of a young boy, dubbed Roland Doe. This first half of the story details the days leading up to the sanctioned Catholic exorcism done on this young 13 or 14 year old boy. Grab a blanket, and a drink and let's dive in!

This week we dip our toes into the life of Ed and Lorraine Warren. We cover one of their most prolific cases, Annabelle the doll.

SURPRISE!! We decided to drop episode 31 early as a bonus episode! Today we ventured back to a town Danielle used to call home, the town of Williston North Dakota. Resting downtown Williston lies a building built in 1915, the Old Armory. This building held many uses over its lifetime, from an armory, to a teen canteen, to a community theater. When visiting the shows the building feels warm and inviting, however when the curtain falls and the patrons leave there is a completely different feeling. Is this building truly haunted, or do the large rooms simply cause you to feel things that aren't there? Grab a blanket, and a drink, and let's find out!
