3 horror movies based on real events

In Mysterious we talk to you once about a damn movie like Poltergeist.On this occasion we want to present you with 3 absolutely terrifying movies that even become more fearsome when we know they are inspired by real events.Do you dare to discover them?

1."Deliver us from evil" (2014)

This absolutely terrifying movie directed by Scott Derrickson is based on the book of Ralph Sarchie , a former New York policeman who specialized in cases that seemed to belong to the field of the paranormal, became of a demonologist.

Everything that was account in the movie is based on the experiences of Sarchie , although they are not strictly followed, since a point of drama was needed in the film.This police sergeant, after devoting himself to solving crimes in the Bronx neighborhood, became interested in the paranormal and began to dedicate himself to the task of exorcisms.How do I get to this point? Thanks to the already famous Marriage Warren , who taught him everything he should know about demonology.

Sarchie has never charged for his services as an exorcist and has even had to pay for the the same trips and diets.

A fact that gives us the chills is that, apparently, Eric Banna , the actor who plays Sarchie in the movie, had problems of insomnia for several weeks after seeing the recordings of the real cases that Sarchie had faced.

2."The Mothman: the last prophecy" ( 2002)

This film based on the homonymous book by John Keel and directed by Mark Pellington is based on the apparently real research and sightings of Mothman in West Virginia and in its relationship with the accident and n the Silver Bridge in 1967-

A little more about Mothman:

The first sightings occurred in 1966 when two men digging at Clendenin cemetery ( West Virginia) saw a figure flying under the nearby trees.This vision was repeated in Point Pleasant three days later when two young couples claimed to have seen a large human figure with huge wings and Red eyes .This figure would have followed them while they were driving during the tour they took in front of an old ammunition store that had been used during World War II.

Some firefighters also claimed to have seen a kind of bird very large with the bright red eyes .

After several more sightings, but none excessive A close to this date on December 15 of 1967 the terrible accident of Silver Brige occurred that claimed the lives of 46 people.Many took the presence of the Mothman as a warning of this misfortune.

Some relate this figure to the aliens and others claim that Mothman lives in that former warehouse of military ammunition.In any case, the calculations made by Folklore scholar Jan Harold Brunvand show us that there was at least 1,000 sightings of Mothman between 1966 and 1967 in the area where the Silver Bridge collapsed.

3."The Rite" (2011)

This movie It is based on the real experiences of Father Gary Thomas , who tells us in his book "The Making of a Modern Exorcist" (2009).In this work he tells us how I overcome his own deep skepticism about the subject after being named exorcist apprentice and start performing this rite.

Father Thomas says that skepticism has never been taken badly, he must observe the cases carefully and distance before deciding whether it is of a case of real possession or of a person suffering from a mental disorder .That is why he always travels accompanied by a team in which he has the Presence of a psychologist and a pisquiatra,.

Also note that while recording the film, the cast began to fear suffering some damage or some kind of possession.In fact, ensures that the two actors protagonists (A.Hopkins and C.O'Donoghue) asked him if they could be possessed by recording this film .Father Thomas could only tell them that It was a possibility , since it is impossible to predict this kind of thing, according to the UK Express newspaper.

The film shows a woman who spits nails .Father Thomas admits that he has never seen something like that personally, but that if you know some other priests who have witnessed it on several occasions.The exorcism, he says, is a relic of darker times and does not seem to fit The Modern Catholic Church, however, insists that Evil has not left and that it will be present regardless of the time in which we live.If you liked this article, you may want to know more about why we enjoy horror movies.Images: PSVitaWallpapers
