My friend, Susan and I would daily walk past a house in Mount Rainer. It gave us the creeps and we would run past it. There was a strange feeling around the house. No one believed our feelings but then the Exorcist came out and we were validated.

St Michael has a place of honor in my home over the main door. Always felt safe and protected.

I love the way you tell the story. You are so thorough with your knowledge. St Michael is the patron saint in my parents town in southern Italy. My great grandfather told us stories of how in world war 2 he and his troop witnessed a sea of angels in the sky coming to help. He said that Archangel Michael was leading his heavenly army. I believe in his power and I carry him everywhere. My phone, my car, my home and in my heart.

This man is like a walking history book!!! So interesting listening to your stories ❤️

I live not far from The Novitiate. It was an Alexian Brothers monestary back in the day. So thankful that there was help for that young man. God truly is great.

The moral of the story is DO NOT EVER MESS WITH A OUIJA BOARD! My mother, sister, and aunt did back in 1968 and it started just spelling out discusting things. It was absolutely a demon. Me being the youngest (only 3 yrs old) have been attacked throughout my life. Thank God after asking Jesus Christ into my life has this deceased. 🙏

I was at a prison, where they had a small museum attached to it. While viewing the museum, they had the actual electric chair for the prison on display, made of wood. It was only 2 - 3 feet away, I think 18 men had been put to death in that chair (at least). I leaned over the railing, to touch the arm of the chair... but then thought... no. Bad juju I thought to myself. I did not touch the chair. I think that was a wise decision.

Father William Bowdern is buried at Calvary cemetery in St. Louis. Been there many times. He’s buried with the other priests there. I’ve been to the house where the exorcism was on Roanoke in St. Louis. I didn’t go inside but went by there. The area of the old St Alexian brothers hospital where the exorcism was finished was torn town several years ago. Supposedly a copy of the priests notes were found in an old desk in the room where the exorcism took place. The room was closed off after the exorcism and was only opened when they were in the process of demolishing the hospital

When I was a child going on many vacations with my beloved family they knew how much I loved visiting old cemeteries. I don’t understand my fascination with cemeteries, maybe just history of the people who lived before me. Thank you so much for allowing us to follow you and listen to the most interesting stories!!!!

God is so real. Thank you Lord for saving him may you continue to watch over us all amen🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

You are a brilliant story teller. So calm and respectful. Please keep them coming xxxx ❤

Archangel Michael protect us in battle.....Ouija board is not a game. Please stay away from them.

I came back here to listen to your story again.As a Catholic person I believe your story is real and very close to all the stories that We heard from our church.Again,thank you very much for all your hard work .

This was absolutely terrifying even more so than the movie. Reality is way more scarier than any tale. That part of the pillow only keeps getting me awake.

Good Lord you gave me the chilly willies😳. Your stories are always so intersting. Thank you from a Roman Catholic in Texas❤

Thank you. I remember reading the story of “Robbie”. Truly terrifying. Moral of the story, keep away from Ouija boards. You just never know.

It took a lot of courage to face off with the darkness! I commend those willing to do God’s work. God bless those souls!

I love seeing these old tombstones and vaults. They are works of art if you ask me.

Thank you for St.Michael Archangel, I keep his statue in my cars. Mother Mary and St Michael keeps me safe from trouble. Thank you for the wonderful episodes.

I love how you walk around and look at other tombstones, while telling the stories. Also how when you thank the veterans for their services 💛.

God always wins in the end im proud to be a christian

I saw the movie when it came out and I swear nothing ever freaked me out like it did, I haven’t watched any scary movies since. I ignored this video for a while and then thought why not, well now I remember why not!! I’ve traveled with my best friend to a lot of cemeteries we both find them fascinating. My sister calls us the crazy 1 and crazy 2. You do not have to do a part two on this for me “just saying “. You are the best I’ve seen at doing this.

I love his voice, calming and kind

I appreciate your candor in the telling of your story, not just the story of the exorcism, but of your personal experience as well. The question many people have is the existence of God. I myself had an intriguing event in my personal life that I have only shared with my family and dearest friends that had occurred many years ago. I am not what you would refer to as a religious person, but my belief in God is strong from the event. I would very much like to share my experience, but truthfully, none of your viewers in this forum would believe my story. I only wish I had a more private way of communication with you to tell you. Anyways, thanks for the awesome video and the candor of your personal experience. Your content is always respectful, reverent and tasteful. I, for one, am very grateful for finding it and will continue to watch all your videos, past, present and hopefully for a long time to come.

Every episode I watch I get more and more hooked to your channel!! Fascinating information!! Really enjoying these!

Very interesting. I had always heard the young man was from St. Louis, so when you started your story I was confused until you said they went to St. Louis.

I have watched alot of the types of shows you do, but none hold my interest as yours does. You go to great lengths with your research. I look forward to seeing more of programs, thank you.

I've always had great respect and love for our priests. They give their lives for Christ and put themselves in His service to protect us. Viva Cristo Rey!

Very interesting video, I had always heard that The Exorcist movie was based on a true story but I hadn't ever heard the true truth about it. I'm glad you did this video on this event. All your video's that I have watch so far are really good video's. I enjoy learning about people of the past & the stories of those people. Great job on the work you do to get the information on these people. Your one of my top favorite KZfaq channels.💙🙂

I never knew any of this...you really did your homework here..so scary.DONT PLAY WITH OUIJA BOARDS ever....

Scary but true and we're hearing a lot about these kind of things going on.

The statues details so amazing I don't know if we still have those old Master crafters techniques. Amazing what they accomplished. Beautiful. Soul touching.

Don't mess with the dead, demons, satanic stuff. Please don't ever play that board game. You will definitely open a portal to the demonic world. Never mess with that stuff.

My mom, my sister, & I played with a Ouji board when I was about 11 or 12....all I'm gonna say, is you definitely DON'T want to open that door. Nothing good ever comes out. I read about this story as it's the story that the movie The Exorcist was based on. Great video, Ron... As usual! Thanks! Peace🕊️😘

Bring a sheet of paper with you an a pencil for hard to read stones lay paper on it take pencil over letters to bring it to the paper easier to read

You say the story and making it interesting to listen to. I know all about the Exorcist story. Bill Blatty went to Georgetown University and heard about the possession and years later he wrote The Exorcist. Thank You.

The monument of the young Maiden at the gravestone is magnificent !

Excellent video! It got my family hooked on your site. So informative. Thanks for bringing life back to these forgotten people. You do an e excellent job.🙂

I read the book initially, as a 14 yr old. I read it on holiday with my family at Castlepoint Beach in the North Island of New Zealand 🇳🇿. The old house we stayed in was said to be haunted. Books would fly off the book shelf, people that stayed with us, had horrible nightmares there, my parents often argued, which was unusual for them, and I would wake in the night standing in my parents room, just staring at them. On looking back, the thought of reading The Exorcist in THAT house, was probably not a good idea....🥺🙏

Both my parents, Grandparents and Great Grandparents on my Dad's side and my Sister are At St. Joseph's Cemetery. Keep up the good work. I love listening to you. Thank you sir.💖

Where is the young man buried and how did he live out his life. Great video. The movie scared the hell out of me

Makes me feel very good that my youngest son chose Michael as his patron saint when he was confirmed. I have a feeling that if you create a portrait of Saint Michael there will be a LOT of people that would love to have a copy of him.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

I grew up in that part of Maryland so this episode was even more interesting knowing all the places you mentioned.

There's a Catholic priest, he's an exorcist. He's the best orator I've heard. Every teaching of his is a blessing. Father Ripperger on KZfaq.

I painted a ceramic statue with Michael the Arch angel stepping on the serpent with a sword in Michael's hand when I was a teen. To this day I still love Michael conquering Satan. Great job with the details yet again!

Jesus is my savior that protects me at all times. He will protect everyone in the world, if you reach out to him.🙏

Fantastic video. You really brought this story to life and the amazing priests who fought this great battle. Well done!

I worked at Alexian Brothers Hospital and I was told about many other strange happened with Robbie. One of the Brothers went in to his room to help with the exorcism with coal black hair and came out with Snow White hair. Another item is that Robbie filled a large multi-bed warm with 2 inches of urine. When they tore down the old hospital to build a new one the wrecking ball bounced off and hit a part of the new wing. So many strange stories about the ABH hospital…

Amen to the terrified, I knew most of the story but glad you filled me in on the rest, not something you ever want to mess with...

Interesting video 👍 Kinda scary I might say. I'm 66 and watched documentaries and read articles, but your narrative adds to the story!! Great Job Ron. Thank You for the video and all the time you put into it. 😉👍👍👍

My grandpa took a stroke and had massive bleeding on the brain. The doctors could not explain how my grandfather survived. They told us there is absolutely no medical explanation, especially since he had a bad heart. When he came to, he told us that Michael the Arch angel came to him and saved him. My grandfather’s name also happened to be Michael. He ended up having very minimal side effects from what happened and he ended up living another three years. I truly believe that God sent Michael to save him.

That was fascinating!! Thank You for your research on this event, and your succinct manner of delivery!! Also your "event w/a Ouiji Board" was quite similar to mine. A very long story that occurred to me back in 1981 when I was 24, the only addition is that I actually saw a "red face of a devil [ish] image" in my antique dresser mirror.😳 ....and the dumpster that I tossed it into was struck by lightning 🌩 2 days later, BEFORE the trash truck had picked it up. I found you quite by accident and find what you do quite interesting🤔....I LOVE to crawl through old cemeteries and your stories are quite interesting so far!!

You have such a beautiful gift to do what you do,very interesting your speak with your whole heart can feel it deep in my spirit watching your videos thank you so much for all the time you spend to bring the light to the people's life may the lord bless you with everything you need love your work 🕊♥️

Ron-I just love your storytelling skills and the great care and empathy you have. Your videos have made me look at death a little differently-and have made me really curious and interested in the wonderful memorial stone pieces we see. Thank you for sharing this with us. You and your work are very appreciated and valued!

I have that same casting of the statue of arch angel Michael, its painted plaster, my mom bought it during a visit to a some kind of catholic factory ith my brother. I've had it for over 20 years. He's in my spare room on the windowsill.

How fascinating!!!! I would love to see a depiction of that St. Michael if you ever find it or paint it! 🙏🙋‍♀️✅

I have a friend that began to use a ouija board and she regretted doing this. She opened a portal that allowed entrance to her home by demonic presence that physically attacked her. She also consulted mediums. She became a believer. She told me she went and consulted mediums. Her mother had passed and she wanted to make contact. She said she saw her mom. These are what is called familiar spirits tgey like to disguised as a child and or a loved one. She began to see them all the time. So we arranged a house cleaning for her. They come in one of 2 ways. Either the board or they can follow you and piggyback style. She had a real time.

I totally enjoyed the effort you put in compiling this video.. I was not aware of the entire story surrounding this young man, it's an absolutely fascinating one at that.!! I always take a stroll through the cemetery where my husband is buried, some of the graves go back into the 1800's.. I always stop for a moment to read the inscription on the headstones.. I am going to subscribe so I don't miss out on any future videos, and also go through your playlist and watch what you have on offer.. A wonderful channel, presented with style and empathy for the departed.. God bless, and very many cheers from this Aussie.!! 😊🥂🇦🇺👍🏻..

I found your channel just before Christmas and have watched a number of your videos now and I find your research very thorough. Your thoughtfulness for the 'victims' is wonderful and through you they will not be forgotten. Thank you for these stories. You have another subscriber. Best wishes to you an yours from UK

LIL MOVIE trivia when making the Exorcist many mishaps and even a few deaths occurred while filming , Linda Blair had to seek some counseling, BTW THE VOICE in the Exorcist was the actress Mercedes McCambridge she had to smoke cigarettes and drink plenty of whiskey , lol 😆 this is true

I used a ouija board to contact my grandmother. Lights off, candles lit, me and my friend just trying while my grandpa and aunt sat in the kitchen. Nothing happened, but my other aunt came in and scared the shit out of us. They bring it up all the time since then to tease me lol

Saw the exorcist when he first came out. Never forget. Did not realize it was based on a true story. Unfortunate there is a lot of evil going on. We all need God and Jesus Christ in our lives

God won!

Is that an “orb” to the right of that upper double window? Spooky! Great video and yes.. no touchy objects contaminated from demonic presences! 😬

Thank you for sharing the story of exorcism. Very fascinating to say the least. I have a healthy respect for the total reality of the that experience, and the evil of the Ouija board

Beautiful calming the way you told it. I know there’s only room in my life for one and that’s Christ Jesus In heaven no one else ever. Thank you for sharing

I was in the 1st grade and my half sister, whom was a wayward teenager was babysitting me one night while my mom was working and she dragged me to a drive-in theater (hid me on the floorboard) to see this movie. This movie gave me nightmares for years! I’m 55 and I still can not watch it! There’s something very evil about the movie and needless to say, I grew up and chose not to have a relationship with my half sister. She was a troubled teen and woman that always dabbled with evil things. She died a horrible death

I only discovered your videos a short time back and l love the stories the cemetaries are beautiful thank you for bringing these to us , your fans.

This is kind of frightening! Just listening to this. GOD, please form a hedge of protection around all who listen to this video. May you encapsle our homes and bodies with your protection and love. Amen 🙏

Hello Ron(I hope I got your name right)! I know this is a year late but I would like to say that I appreciate you covered the story well. I am a Catholic, these kinds of instances cause sadness and even fear amongst each other as well. I have started last year learning and reading about things like this. I will admit, it's not an easy thing to digest for many because these are often not for the faint of heart but it's a harsh reality we have to be aware of. Of course, always seek out redemption for when we sin because we then obtain a state of grace and through that only God is powerful than the devil himself. And I also hope it's okay if I add a bit haha. So for the stages of possession is actually more than three steps. For starters, they are called the stages of diabolical influence at least in one of the books I read and there are actually 6 forms: temptation, vexation(this one pertains to saints because it is when God gives very limited permission for the demons to directly harm the saints in a way to obtain a stronger divine grace I believe. It's a bit complicated to understand so I recommend extra research), oppression, possession and subjugation(pertains to making an actual deal with the devil). With infestation pertaining to animals and other material objects. Whether it be a corner in a house or a toy with a troubled history behind it from its previous owners, that would be infestation just so you aren't confused haha. That is why we are encouraged or should be blessing to any new place we move into because you never know the type of history it led. I'm not saying history is bad in fact I love history but sometimes we have to be careful. But all those forms can lead to possession of an individual, if they haven't confessed, aren't baptized, or are continuing to do something in their lives that invites that evil in. As far as the relics are concerned, it's super interesting. I think the one you mentioned was actually a third class relic which are often prayer cards or even rosaries that the laypeople have used to touch first and second class relics, thus, then they become third class. First class relics are the bones, blood, or a part of the Saint's body. Second class would be a type of clothing the Saint wore. Therefore, relics are used in excorcisms to help the priest/exorcist to cast the demons out of the possessed individual because its like burning for the demons so you could say that the boy's reaction to throwing the relic is typical reaction from someone who is definitely possessed. Basically, anything that is blessed by a priest and holy such as a rosary, scapulars, miraculous medals of the Virgin Mary(which I have it's like a chain you wear around your neck), holy water, and even exorcised salt, demons will have a negative reaction towards it because it's literal torture for them. Henceforth, for us Catholics the virgin Mary is very important because when the priest is conducting an exorcism when she appears, it's over for the Evil one, they flee. When they see her they'd rather be punished by God I'll just put it that way in simple terms haha. So if you seek out psychics mediums or other means to free someone of a possession when the boy's family sought out a seance it's only going to make it worse. Think of it as a mean of fluffing their ego which is in their nature and it'll be less than likely for them to leave the person's body without a fight. If you are interested in reading more about the forms and process of possession may I recommend the books " Slaying Dragons " by Charles D. Fraune and " The Diary of an American Excorcist " by Stephen J. Rossetti. I recommend reading one or two chapters at a time because they cover heavy stuff but they are easy to understand. If you do end up getting both books(I believe Amazon sells them)there is a prayer in the beginning of " Diary of an American Excorcist " titled A Prayer For You that is heavily encouraged to do before reading the book because it serves as a barrier or protection between yourself(as I'm looking back in my notes for the book). Honestly this recommendation also extends for any of you in the comment sections who want to give these books a read. Feel free to take your time. I did and made sticky notes. I apologize for the large post and hope it wasn't too confusing. Other than that great work!

This guy is likable, relatable. Best of luck with your channel.

Ouija boards are a dangerous way to open a portal to hell. We played it years ago and someone got hurt and we stopped playing the ouija board.

What an interesting story. I saw the movie and swore I would never see another one like it, and I haven't. This was fascinating.

My grandsons and I were lucky enough to see a priest on the school playground today (Saturday afternoon) blessing the whole area with Holy Water and prayers; and he prayed with us before he went back into the rectory. ❤

You would not catch me playing with an Ouija game I don’t think I want bad luck ❤️♥️

very interesting and fascinating Historical cemetery tour which opened my eyes on this one, really enjoyed your comentary on this one from Across the pond in UK

I love all your videos😊so in depth and informative. I'm officially addicted to your stories. You have such a kind, calming voice. Keep up the good work and stay safe.❤

I am a paranormal investigator and enjoy your knowledge. I think we could have great conversations.

I did make the mistake of touching an oujia board.i was drunk and stupid.needless to say, I Will Not be making that mistake ever again

I love walking in cemeteries they are quiet and you can think things out plus seeing the different headstones and the to honor those buried there

I just found your station and watched many of your videos...very thought provoking. And makes me feel better about my fascination with cemeteries! I live near Detroit where Rosa Parks and Aretha Franklin are buried and entombed now. Many famous folks buried near here ..

Thank you Ron for not just your story telling but also being a great Man your attention to detail is stunning your very calm and very courteous I do hope you continue to tell these stories because you give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves Thank you Ron

Dominus domini is a 2nd declension noun meaning lord. God. Pro Deo means for God. In Dutch clergy, the name of Nederduits Gerevormeerde Kerk Priest is Domini, highly qualified Emeritus Professors and Theologians. I do not know where devil comes into the translation of dominus, except by toxic ideas and misrepresentation. I have 9 years of Latin and at University level under my belt.

Having a wonderful time with your informative videos. So much to soak up and enjoy. Thank you.

I’m new Turing into this channel I don’t know how it didn’t catch it before .. many can tell a story but few can bring the story back .. your respectful and gentle ways make the stories 100 times + even more compelling and fascinating to watch !! Thanks for your dedication and time I’m Sure you bring these souls some peace and comfort even so they are long gone .

Amazing Sir . This strengths my faith in God !

The proper term for a male Catholic religious who is NOT an ordained priest is ‘BROTHER’ not Father. Brothers and priests are entirely different levels in the Catholic hierarchy.

Nicely Done telling story, Please keep us posted on the Statue Archangel Michael. Would love to hear more details about it. Thank You, Sir.

I have been hooked on you ever since the first time I seen your video's. You go to great lengths and detail. You are far better than the other channels I used to watch. I'm into true crime so love the ones on crime. But every video I watch leaves me wanting more. So hats off to you for your hard work. All the miles you drive . And no home cooked meals. You give up a lot just to do these. With all the ones I watched I brag you up to my friends and family. Here I thought I was weird because of my fasination with cemeteries and death. Seems I'm not alone after all....Thank you! 💋💜✌

As a Catholic child I always ask why don’t we talk about the devil, I was usually hushed up. I was taught about God and Angels, but I wanted to know how do I protect myself from evil. I always have medallion coin of St. Benedict

I was 10 and my neighbor wanted me to play the O.B with her and a couple of friends. I said no, but watched them play it in a semi lit dark. Next thing you know, the guide moved and the table lifted. I heard hard knocks on the ceiling and we all ran out the house as fast as we could.. lol.. Never again. This stuff is real. Just like there is a heaven and hell. Good and bad.. God is real! and so is the devil 👿 Thank you Jesus for showing me the truth. ✝️🛐 I hope y’all walk in the light/God( behave, make good choices ) and don’t let darkness determine your faith to hell. God Loves you and only wants the best for you. Believing in Jesus. He is the way to heaven/God his father. Live by the Ten Commandments and you’ll be alright. Goggle them and read the Bible God Bless ❤️

I love the way you provide history to those who have moved on. 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Saint-Michael concerred the devil who was disguised as a dragon. This is the legend of Saint-Michael and the dragon. Here in Belgium the brothers Allexians run clinics for people with mental ilnesses and addictions.

What a scarry story. Keep giving us the history of the past. Thanks. Stay safe.

Lord, please cover us all with Your Holy Spirit and angels, in Jesus name, Amen

Your insight, research and passion is an inspiration. Thank you ! Greeting from NYC

Please post a picture of the statue when you finish it. I would love to see it. You are an amazing story teller. I look forward to all of your videos. I also enjoy visiting gravesites--but not alone.
