Hey there friends and weirdos! This week, Nile tries to get to the bottom of the real life story that inspired the 1973 horror film, The Exorcist! Did one "Roland Doe" undergo a harrowing exorcism as a young boy, or were some of the details fudged? Did Jesuit and Catholic priests do battle with the Devil, resulting in a badass epic fight between Saint Michael and Satan himself, or is The Exorcist's inspiration a bit overblown? All this and more!
