The Haunting Tale of the Earling Church

When Halloween season occurs the first thing teens think about is what scary movie they are going to watch first. One popular movie that comes to mind is the Exorcism. Where would such a person come up with a story like this? Is it true of just some fictional story that someone made up. Most would like to say that this story is not true just for their own good.
In Earling, Iowa most kids have heard the haunting tales of the girl who was possesed by the devil himself. The church was build in 1892 so its pretty old itself. This church is the church of many friendly citizens of Earling. Many of the peple who live here dont like to talk about the problems that occured that night the girl showed up with the devil.
The people of the area say that she came from New York and rode a train to Earling seeking help from the Father of the St. Josephs Church in Earling. Some say that she danced on the church piano and spoke in languages that no one knew. Other stories that we heard are that she climbed the walls and scatched them and now the paint cant even hide the marks.
Jordan Frum and I tried several times to get an interview with the Father of the church but for some odd reason he wouldn't do it for us. We have some pictures here for you to view of the beautiful architecture of the church and the amazing building itself. When we entered the church both of us had a chill and we had a feeling that there was a presence amongst us. We dont know why we couldnt get the interview, but maybe just maybe there is a reason why both of us couldnt get more information. Could it be that the Father didnt want us to know the haunting tale of the exorcism. Not even with an interview will anyone ever be able to know or exspierence the haunting tale of when the walls were scratched.
