The Devil Came to St. Louis by Troy Taylor

The True Story of the 1949 Exorcism In 1949, the Devil came to St. Louis….. Or at least, if you believe the stories that have been told for the last fifty-odd years, a reasonable facsimile of him did. It is a story that has been told for three generations and has inspired books, films and documentaries. It is, without question, the greatest unsolved mystery of St. Louis and one of the most perplexing puzzles of the paranormal in American history. But is the story so mysterious because of the events that occurred --- or because of the bizarre mixture of fact and fantasy that it has become? The story of the 1949 St. Louis Exorcism has become a confusing and convoluted mess over the years. There are so many theories, legends, tales and counter-stories that have been thrown into the mix that it’s become very hard to separate what it truth and what is fiction with this case.
