This Psychic Girl Inspired The Exorcist

Hear the true story behind The Exorcist and the psychic little girl who turned it down.

Love it or hate it, The Exorcist had a major impact on the way people understand spiritual matters. Paranormal horror was shining a light on things like demonic possession, or evil entities giving people fantastic abilities like superhuman strength.

But why was there such a tipped balance towards paranormal HORROR instead of positive paranormal experiences? Where are the “based-on-a-true story” accounts that DON’T end in a little girl shackled to the devil?

What Rob found totally blew his mind because he’d never heard this anywhere else: Before Linda Blair was ever considered for the role of the possessed girl in The Exorcist, the producer reportedly asked another little girl to star in the role. … And he wanted her because she had a long history of quietly exhibiting the most miraculous and amazing abilities imaginable.

Mind reading, telepathic messages, dream premonitions, communication with the dead, self healing, and an unusually high level of morality for such a young child were just the tip of the iceberg with THIS little girl.

So what happened? Who was she, and why can we find almost no trace of “Jenny’s” existence today? Why was her positive story buried in favor of a demonic one? Hear what Rob found about her powers from the journalist who first broke the story in his book, plus what little else could be tracked down about the true story behind The Exorcist and the little girl who turned it down.

I had my biggest spiritual awakening in 2022. Telepathic communication occurred between myself and a complete stranger in another country. She revealed to me that my family is karmic and engage in dark occult, illegal activities. I'm currently still waiting for all they have done to me to be proven and get my day in court. This existence is insane. I can't believe I signed up for this shit.

It is hard on relationships when you react to thoughts.

Great episode! So this little girl would have definitely been targeted in the movie Doctor sleep.

Such a cool episode! I’d love if Jenny came forward to hear about the rest of her life!!!

Cool story! I like learning new info that I probably never would have come across on my own. I'm glad they turned it down, I imagine the rest of her life would maybe not gone well if she had done it. I don't know that, but it definitely feels like it.

I communicate telepathically with my children all the time. Sometimes it’s over the simplest things.. like telling my daughter to make the cookies and then she does it.. it happens so frequently now that we are just use to it 😂 some days my children will be in my mind so much that I have to tell them out loud to stop!! 😅

I thought the movie was about a little boy who was possessed

Hi, I would like to share my personal story/ability. One day I tried to sort out a multi threaded knot of a sacred thread that is worn over neck and shoulder. We call it janev. I sat for hours resolving it. And after I resolved it, I somehow gained a special ability to resolve any threaded knots however complicated it may be. After the incident I attended one of my cousin’s marriage ceremony. She had a multithreaded necklace which had so many knots and was so much jumbled up that she had given up on it. No one had resolved till I saw it. I got that thing resolved in half an hour. I do think that I can solve threaded knots with any complexity. I am Roshan Kumar Singh, from Pune, India.

Whoa, very cool... you guys are the best at digging up the stories we SHOULD have heard of! Lindsay, good job impersonating Jenny's voice, haha... just kidding. Rob, we'll get you a nice pearl tie pin too! No man should be without one. 😉

I woke up one time a few weeks ago and blurted out it’s 5:11 when I looked at my phone it was 5:11 idk why this happened to me

[grannyvapes]

Jenny may well have been an indigo child.

Whoops I'm too early. I thought this premiered today

[johannaschwaiger]

Great episode! Wasn’t the The Exorcist inspired by the real-life story of the exorcism of the German girl Anneliese Michel in the ‘70s?

Bible says sound mind comes from God..unsound mind is absence of holy spirit ...
