Real Exorcist Case 1949 – Story Behind The Exorcist & Protection Ritual (EXORCISTA)

EXORCISTA: Horror & True Crime with Victoria Unikel

Before The Exorcist movie shocked the world and redefined horror in 1973, there was a true case that few dared to speak of. In this episode, we go beyond the screen to explore the real story that inspired the most iconic exorcism movie ever made.

A young boy in 1949. A Ouija board. A series of unexplained attacks. A team of Jesuit priests in St. Louis battling something they couldn’t explain. This wasn’t fiction—it was a documented case of exorcism that changed how the world viewed evil.

This episode dives deep into the facts, the rituals, and the terrifying events that later became the foundation of The Exorcist 1973 movie. We examine the original case, the media frenzy, the evolution of the story, and how it became one of the most controversial and influential horror films in history.

You’ll also hear about the protection rituals used by exorcists, the psychological toll on those involved, and what this case means for modern spirituality.
