Frankly i think it was disgusting what they did to that poor girl and that holly wood decided to cash in on it.

It wasn't a girl, it was a teenage boy in the '40s. There was a diary kept by one of the people present at the exorcism that Blatty apparently read, but no one knows how, not many have been allowed to. Anyway, here's some info on the site. There is also a book called Possessed: The True Story of an Exorcism by Thoma B. Allen, I have never read it , it is supposedly a true telling, I guess he also managed to get a copy of the diary.
