This week we finish out the story of the Exorcism of Roland Doe. Father Raymond J. Bishop wrote a case study detailing each day of Roland's exorcism that we will go over today. He, along with the Alexian Brothers, Father William S. Bowdern, Father VanRoo, Father O'Flaghtery, and Walter H. Halloran performed the exorcism on a young boy dubbed Roland Doe. It's time to grab a blanket, and a drink, and dive into the true story of the Exorcism of Roland Doe.

We asked, you answered, we delivered! Today we are covering the true story behind the inspiration for the movie The Exorcist. The Exorcism of Roland Doe was once a story simply passed on by word of mouth, until construction workers made a legendary discovery. Before tearing down the old Alexian Brothers Hospital in St. Louis Missouri, they discovered a locked room containing a desk. Inside the desk held the diary of Father Bishop, one of many who participated in the exorcism of a young boy, dubbed Roland Doe. This first half of the story details the days leading up to the sanctioned Catholic exorcism done on this young 13 or 14 year old boy. Grab a blanket, and a drink and let's dive in!

Welcome back for episode 38 of Lady in Black. This week we have a double hitter with two haunted locations. We also have our first listener story ever! First we travel to Washington State to talk about the original Cascade Tunnel and the town of Wellington Washington. Known for the deadliest avalanche in United States history and now the Iron Goat Trail, this area is known for its paranormal activity. Next we journey to Idaho to cover the Shoshone Indian Ice Caves. Referred to as Earth's Natural Refrigerator, this cave system is host to lava tubes, legends, and the sound of footsteps and voices. Grab a blanket and a drink and lets dive in!
