Michael Taylor

The victims were being acted upon.

But in the case of Englishman Michael Taylor in 1974, the exorcism seemingly acted as the psychological trigger that pushed a man into committing murder himself.

The Michael Taylor case is incredibly complex and heavily studied in legal circles.

What's the background there?

Taylor was a 31 year old husband and father in Yorkshire.

Which is a terrifying seed to plant in the mind of an exhausted, severely depressed man.

It's incredibly reckless.

And the twist, the horrific outcome, is that he goes home and the very next day, Michael Taylor brutally murdered his wife.

No witnesses can testify to a demon's presence and survive cross-examination on it.

In England in 1974, Michael Taylor killed his wife after an all-night exorcism.

The clergy who performed it said they'd cast out 40 demons, but believe three were still left inside.

Come on, guys.

But let's go ahead and get into the story of Michael Taylor.

This guy, I think, as we'll see, has a lot of issues underneath the surface.

Absolutely.

That unfortunately, I think he ultimately did not get anywhere near the help that he needed or the right help, I should say.

And I would almost go as far as to say that the fact that he needed help was almost exploited by those who were pretending to offer it to kind of just pull him closer in until he had his final descent into complete madness.

Just as the sun was lighting up the sky on a quiet Sunday morning, October 6th, 1974, Michael Taylor was seen stumbling deliriously down his street in Osset, naked and coated in thick red liquid.

His mother-in-law saw him from her window and called the police.
