Th real story was of a boy, but his head didn't spin a round and all that 'scary' stuff didn't happen like objects flying and his head spinning and the devil speaking out of him. He was just a eal sick boy and everyone thought the devil was in him.

The Exorcist is a horror novel written by William Peter Blatty first published in 1971. It is based on a supposedly genuine 1949 exorcism Blatty heard about while he was a student in the class of 1950 at Georgetown University, a Jesuit and Catholic school. The exorcism was partially performed in both Cottage City, Maryland [1] and Bel-Nor, Missouri. [2] Several area newspapers reported on a speech a minister gave to an amateur parapsychology society, in which he claimed to have exorcised a demon from a thirteen-year-old boy named Robbie, and that the ordeal lasted a little more than six weeks, ending on April 19, 1949.

It was based on a real exorcism of a little boy. Whether or not he was possessed, no medical treatment helped him. The child's real name has never been released. Catholics recognize the Rite of Exorcism as a legitimate part of the faith.

it was based on a book of same name. It is said the book is based on a a reali life exorcism that took place in the 50s in US and which the author heard a lot about while in his catholic school. The act of exorcism is certainly not fiction but the catholic will probably never admit to its practice.

Yes...it does really happen in real life, people getting bad spirits inside of them.
But if your talking about the gurl in the movie...no she really didnt have bad spirits inside of her, she was just acting. because it was a movie...its also based on true stories. as it says on the DVD disc...
I hoped i helped...
