Walter Halloran - Definition and Overview

Father Walter Halloran is a Jesuit Roman Catholic priest who at the age of twenty-six assisted in the exorcism of a thirteen year old Lutheran boy in St. Louis, Missouri, who became possessed after using a ouija board. This was the case that William Peter Blatty was inspired by when he wrote his novel The Exorcist.
