A Night You Won’t Soon Forget!

Join author Troy Taylor for another night of our “An Evening with…” series of events! This eerie night will include a catered dinner, served in our private ballroom at the former hotel. After dinner, author Troy Taylor will be presenting “An Evening with the St. Louis Exorcism,” the true and uncensored story of the infamous St. Louis Exorcism of 1949!

New Updated Event!

True, Uncensored, Never-Before-Presented Material from the Case that Will Shock and Surprise You!

The 1949 exorcism that took place in St. Louis, Missouri, has become one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history. But is the story so mysterious because of the events that occurred -- or because so much of the story has been kept secret over the years? After the events in the story concluded, it was decided that further investigation of the case was “counterproductive”, and details were buried. The identity of the allegedly possessed boy was hidden to protect his identity. If not for a series of coincidences, the story would have never likely been revealed at all and would never have inspired books, films, documentaries, and more.

It’s been hard to know what’s truth and what’s fiction in this case — until now! Whatever you do, don’t miss this chilling night of terror and truth!

The Devil Came to St. Louis
The True Story of the 1949 Exorcism
Presented by Troy Taylor

Author Troy Taylor has spent more than two decades researching the facts behind this chilling story – searching through old records, visiting the sites that still exist, and interviewing the surviving witnesses to the strange events. But even when he published his first book on the case in 2006, it was nearly impossible to separate fact from fiction because so much of the story had been purposely hidden. He had also made a promise that he would not reveal the identity of the family – or that of the boy at the center of it – as long as he was living. This book is the result of a promise that he sadly no longer needs to keep.

In this updated, uncensored, horrifying, and eye-opening presentation, he reveals the complete truth for the very first time, uncovering secret details, stories that have never been told, and a full accounting of a story that goes far beyond anything you’ve ever heard before. Starting from the beginning of the case in Maryland, we’ll follow the weird events of the story, debunking myths along the way, and revealing real portions of the case that are more chilling than anything invented by movies and TV shows over the years. Hear the results of new interviews, never-before-published details, and chilling accounts – and then decide for yourself from this new evidence what you choose to believe – or not believe – about the time when the Devil came to St. Louis!

This is NOT a night for the faint of heart and will truly set the record straight – a fact that will having you sleeping with the lights on long after you get home!
