Patreon Preview - The Possession of Michael Taylor

In September 1974, 31 year old Michael Taylor and his wife
Christine began attending a Christian Fellowship Group. Over the
next few weeks, Michael became an enthusiastic member of the
church. What happened next is difficult to gauge. Michael's
breakdown, and his erratic behavior in the days that followed, led
the church group to believe that an exorcism was in order. On
October 5th, they subjected him to a battery of attempts to cast
the demons out from him, screaming at him until around 7:00 the
next morning. During the court case that followed, one of the
preachers involved would state that they'd managed to exorcise over
forty demons from Michael, leaving behind only three, associated
with "murder, violence, and insanity." A few hours later, police
were at the Taylors' home investigating a murder. Michael had been
discovered roaming the streets naked, covered in blood and
screaming about the Devil. Inside the family home, Christine's body
lay mutilated. What happened to Michael Taylor? Learn more about
