    1995. Went to D.C. for the weekend. Took the trolley to Georgetown. I'll NEVER forget the trolley stopping...and the Driver asking if anybody knew why this House was famous. I knew IMMEDIATELY what it was. I'm getting goosebumps right now. Thanks for posting this Sean.

      @RonaldWilliams-lp3bg lol. I yelled out..."it's the Exorcist house"!! Lol. People were looking at me like I was crazy. NOBODY Else on the trolley knew except for me and my Girlfriend. Driver let me quickly get out and take some pics. I lost those pictures over the years. Wish I still had them.

    I was stationed in DC at resided at Fort Myer. I remember my friends and I would go out drinking in Georgetown and visit the steps late at night when no one was around. It gave us the creeps every time.

    I found the Exorcist house by accident looking for a Baltimore urban legend called Black Aggie, a memorial that was moved from Baltimore to DC years ago. Now residing in the courtyard of the federal courts building. On my way home of course I got lost. I pulled up to Prospect Street, and recognized the name. I looked up, and was right at the house. Of course I got out, and took a photo. I didn't climb the stairs because it was in the middle of July, and during heatwave. I've been back a couple of times recently, and thankfully it wasn't too gross out to climb up. My husband who works as a construction electrician in DC worked all around the area, but never really paid attention to the house until we went to visit Georgetown on our anniversary. Being the nerd I am I requested that we visit the house before leaving. I marveled at the joggers taking on those steps for exercise, and just imagine myself falling down like Father Kharis. I keep forgetting to take a photo of the bridge, and the gas station is totally gone now. They have a historical plaque up for the film at the base of the steps, and at the top (if I remember correctly).

I honest to God did a repeat of The infamous August 1978 double spit-take slash projectile out-of-the-mouth-and-nose-at-the-same-time Dr. Pepper spray and regurgitation at my 12th birthday party, at the swanky Pizza Hut. It was a party trick I've never been able to duplicate (thank God) until now. Beer burns just as much as DP did back in the day.

    Interesting journey!!! I was 10-years old when this movie first hit the theaters and can still remember everyone's reactions!!! People fainting; people praying out loud; people screaming' people barfing' people running out the theater and all those other antics that were entertaining to a 10-year-old boy not knowing what was happening nor why.
    Have been to the gravesite of the ACTUAL preacher that performed the ACTUAL exorcism in St Louis, MO. Also have been to the ACTUAL house everything was supposed to have taken place in St Louis. The Pastor of the church I go to in Kansas took his seminary training in St Louis. One day we were talking and the movie, "The Exorcist" came up as a half-hearted joke by me. He pretty much told me the movie just touches on the insanity of the actual events.

I was accompanied by my older brother who drove us to Manns National Theater in Westwood Village. The showing was a sellout and audience were shocked by the intensity of the possession scenes. Someone fainted and was taken to the lobby to recover. Good thing I was young stud but I can’t lie the film gave me new awareness about my Catholic faith.
