Join author Troy Taylor for an adventure during the “An Evening with…”
series of events! This eerie night will include a catered dinner at the American Oddities Museum. After dinner, author Troy Taylor will be presenting “The Devil Came to St. Louis,” the true and uncensored story of the infamous St. Louis Exorcism of 1949!

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!
