Cable Channel To Air First-Ever Live Exorcism This Halloween

BEVERLY HILLS (AP) — Destination America is upping its scare factor for Halloween by scheduling what it describes as a live exorcism to air Oct. 30.

"Exorcism: Live!" was announced Thursday at a news conference in Beverly Hills. The event will be held at the St. Louis-area house where teen Roland Doe underwent the ritual in 1949. It became the inspiration for 1973's "The Exorcist" movie.

The paranormal investigators featured on Destination America's series "GHOST ASYLUM" will appear on the show with psychic medium Chip Coffey. Cameras will roll as they explore the home to find whatever is believed to have haunted it for years.
