"The movie which starred Linda Blair as a young girl possessed by an evil spirit was based on the real life story of a thirteen-year-old Lutheran boy from Georgetown, USA.
Roland is believed to have become possessed after his aunt taught him how to use the Ouija board.
It was January of 1949 when the bizarre and terrifying paranormal events began in the boy’s home. Eerie scratching noises bombarded the usually quite residence. Soon after the noises started, Roland’s aunt mysteriously died. But Roland continued using the Ouija Board, only now it was to contact his aunt.
Soon, the noises in the house suddenly shifted into Roland’s bedroom.
The boy’s bed would shake violently, toys and other objects would fly across the room and the scratching sounds escalated.
Frantic with worry, Roland’s mother decided to contact a priest. When the minister visited Roland’s room, the boy started speaking in Latin – a language he had never learnt. He told the priest he was the devil."

Alot of modern films are basing their storylines on 'demonic possession', Paranormal Activity 1/2/3 is an example of this. The demand for gruesome, ghostly horror films see to be increasing.
The Exorcist's background story is quite intriging and describes a previous demonic encounter, wheather this is true or not is a matter of choice as there is no scientific proof that 'demons' exist or not.
