* Troy Taylor: Night at the Exorcist House
For the first time, Troy will be publicly speaking about the night that he spent at the "Exorcist House" in St. Louis, where many of the real-life events from his book The Devil Came to St. Louis (the true story of the 1949 Possession case that inspired the book and film versions of "The Exorcist") actually occurred. What's the story behind the chilling case? What really happened on the night when the taping of the Dave Glover Halloween show took place? Is there something truly paranormal lingering in this otherwise ordinary home? Find out during the first session of the day!
