The following articles represent a large cross section of published material on this case A careful reading will reveal many glaring inconsistencies in the basic story telling but I feel all are important for the raw data they offer In scanning this material from 1949 to the present day one can discern the most common and widely believed scenario for this case of possession Reporters to date have claimed that the 13 or 14 year old boy was allegedly from Mount Rainier Maryland It was later revealed that his date of birth was June 1 1935 meaning he was actually 13 when the rite of exorcism was finally completed Later accounts declared his home address to have been 3210 Bunker Hill Road It is said the boy underwent a first exorcism at Georgetown University Hospital conducted by local priest Father E Albert Hughes where the boy allegedly slashed Hughes s arm with a bedspring and then underwent a final and successful rite of exorcism by Father William Bowdern at Alexian Brothers Hospital in St Louis Missouri in the spring of 1949 The road linking this information together is a muddled trail indeed Breaking the Story of the Haunted Boy The media first became involved in this case when The Washington Post ran an article on August 10 1949 titled Pastor Tells Eerie Tale of Haunted Boy Written in an almost tongue in cheek style by reporter Bill Brinkley the piece tells an out of this world story of a local 13 year old boy The story came to light when an unnamed minister gave a speech before a local meeting of the Society of Parapsychology at the Mount Pleasant Library in Washington D C According to the minister the family had experienced many strange events in their suburban Maryland home beginning January 18th scratching noises emanated from the house s walls the bed in which the boy slept would shake violently and objects such as fruit and pictures would jump to the floor in the boy s presence The minister described as being intensely skeptical arranged for the boy to spend the night of February 17th in his home With the boy sleeping nearby in a twin bed the minister reported that in the dark he heard vibrating sounds from the bed and scratching sounds on the wall During the rest of the night he allegedly witnessed some strange events a heavy armchair in which the boy sat seemingly tilted on its own and tipped over and a pallet of blankets on which the sleeping boy lay inexplicably moved around the room Curiously the article described the minister as laughing as he related these incidents to his audience He admonished the boy by saying Now look this is enough of this The article ended by saying that the minister called in the family doctor who prescribed phenobarbital for the whole family I went back and examined my files on this local subject The various published writings on the 1949 possession case contained a great deal of conflicting and confusing information Still I felt it would be a tremendous personal challenge to conduct this investigation from an entirely different viewpoint and in October 1997 I began my pursuit Unlike those who had tackled this case before me I decided that I would present a completely objective and unbiased factual report on the case In setting my investigative goals it was understood that proving whether or not the boy in this case was actually possessed was not on the agenda I sought to explore new territories I would examine the critical elements of the case and create a factual framework from which to work determine who the boy was and where he actually grew up attempt to talk with him about his experiences and interview friends from his hometown who grew up with him or knew his family None of this had ever been done before
