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?
