Roland Doe & Glamis Castle

The Haunted Demon

Exorcism of Roland Doen the late 1940s, in the United States, priests of the Roman Catholic Church performed a series of exorcisms on an anonymous boy, documented under the pseudonym "Roland Doe" or "Robbie Mannheim". The 14-year-old boy (born circa 1935), was the alleged victim of demonic possession, and the events were recorded by the attending priest, Raymond J. Bishop. Subsequent supernatural claims surrounding the events were used as elements in the 1971 novel The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty and the 1973 film adaptation

Origin of claims[edit]

In mid-1949, several newspaper articles printed anonymous reports of an alleged possession and exorcism.[2] The source for these reports is thought to be the family's former pastor, Luther Miles Schulze.[1] According to one account, a total of "forty-eight people witnessed this exorcism, nine of them Jesuits."[3]

Monster of Glamis

The most famous legend connected with the castle is that of the Monster of Glamis, a hideously deformed child born to the family. Some accounts came from singer and composer Virginia Gabriel who stayed at the castle in 1870.[9] In the story, the monster was kept in the castle all his life and his suite of rooms bricked up after his death.[10][11][12][13] Another monster is supposed to have dwelt in Loch Calder near the castle.[citation needed]
