Milieu of the Demonic Possession


It was on 1949 in the quiet suburban of Cottage City, Maryland. Roland Doe is a normal school boy live with his family, nothing strange about him. After he went back from school he usually plays with his aunty, who is self proclaimed spiritualist. One day, his aunt introduced him a board game named Ouija Board. It is rumored can attract spirits and devils to communicate with the users. Roland Doe show some interest in Ouija Board and played it.

When he was 13 years old, his aunt died. Remembered that his aunt tells him that the Ouija Board can contact with the spirit from the ethereal plane, he tried to make contact with his deceased aunt. After several tries with fruitless result, his family noticed something strange about him. There is like a dark entity, a malevolent force that resides in their dear son. Then all hell breaks loose…

The family and the boy noticed strange occurrences happened in their house, unexplained thumping, and poltergeist activities such as levitating objects flying and smashing to the wall or objects moving by their own such as the chandelier swinging like there is a hurricane in the house. Not to mention frantic scratching and knocking from the floor boards. Still, the family lives in denial and thought it is caused from the rodents thus they called the pest control. But it turns out they discovered nothing, no pest, no rodent, nothing…

Then when night comes, their discovered their son has bruises and scratches on his skin as it was done by unknown force. Feared something superstitious happened to their son but still in denial, they contacted psychiatrist and doctors but all the efforts in vain. Then the family called priest to perform the exorcism rites as the last method to cure their son. This was the beginning of one of the famous possession cases in the world, the Roland Doe possession…
