It seemed to come from one corner of the room, but when she and Robbie went to investigate they discovered that it actually sounded as if it was coming from the opposite corner. A steady, incessant, persistent, loud dripping sound. But when she walked in her room, there was nothing to see. When Robbie said that something was dripping, she expected to see a leak in the ceiling. Grandma Wanger put down her puzzle and hurried up upstairs. There’s something dripping, but I don’t know where it’s coming from,” he said. She was in the middle of doing a crossword puzzle, and was on the verge of coming up with a five letter word for the clue ‘Type of rum’ when the boy broke her concentration. “Grandma, come here for a minute,” Robbie called to his grandmother who was sitting in her favorite chair in the downstairs living room. At last, Robbie was rewarded with the satisfaction of knowing exactly which room the sound was coming from. So he made his way upstairs and checked first his bedroom, then his parents bedroom but both were silent. Of course, he had checked the kitchen and bathroom sinks first, but both were bone dry. Robbie put his ear to the wall at the foot of the staircase, but the sound wasn’t coming from there.
One can just imagine the fourteen year old walking from room to room trying to locate the source of the sound. Grandma Wagner was old, and her hearing wasn’t all that good. But I would imagine it was the boy, Robbie. There’s no record of who heard the sound first, the boy or his grandmother. The time is January 15, 1949, the place is Cottage City, Maryland.
Since many of the accounts of the exorcism use the pseudonym ‘Robbie’, that is the name I will use in this article. One famous paranormal show even did an episode in the ‘Exorcist House’. And although there were no reports of his head spinning around or green projectile vomiting, the true story is every bit as chilling as the movie: even more chilling because it is real.Īlthough the boy was given a pseudonym to protect his identity, today it is common knowledge where the boy lived. Unlike the movie, the child who was possessed was a 14 year old boy. William Peter Blatty, the author of the novel and writer of the screenplay, was inspired by newspaper reports of an actual exorcism that took place in 1949.
THE EXORCIST SUBLIMINAL MOVIE
In addition to horrifying, graphic scenes depicting a little girl’s possession and ultimate deliverance from a demon, the movie is littered with subliminal images and sounds.īut The Exorcist is not simply a work of fiction. The Exorcist has been called the scariest film of all time. The movie was so scary that theatergoers threw up, fainted, and some even had to be taken away by ambulance. In December 1973, an unlikely film became one of the highest-grossing movies of the holiday season. “Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it.” ― Baltasar Gracian, The Art of Worldly Wisdom
