The Case behind The Exorcist Revisited 1
2020
Overview
Rueda documents in detail the gradual build-up of paranormal phenomena around Raymond over a period of months, eventually culminating with a successful performance of the Roman Catholic rite of exorcism, during which the Devil was ostensibly banished from the boy's body. The book also makes a very useful contribution to historical work on the paranormal by drawing together different strands of the paper-trail surrounding the case, in particular the commentary of parapsychology pioneers J. B. and Louisa Rhine (1895-1980 and 1891-1983 respectively), and the testimony contained in the Jesuit report.

Allen Hynek (1910-1986) - 'High Strangeness' cases are those that feature 'a number of separate very strange items, each of which outrages common sense' (Hynek, 1974, p. 42).
