Mystery of the Wizard Clip Demon: A Screenplay Based on Historical Documents

By Stanley D. Williams Ph.D. and Stanley D. Williams

"Mystery of the Wizard Clip Demon" is an original screenplay about a supernatural demonic infestation from Early American history. Refusing last rites to a dying sojourner, an Early American farmer battles the stranger's curse that brings a haunting and enterprising demon who destroys the family's home and farm while bargaining for their souls.In 1795, Adam Livingston and his family were farmers in the Shenandoah Valley. A visiting stranger became deathly ill and begged his host to find a Catholic priest to come and administer last rites. But the Livingston's, who despised Papists, refused. As he died, the stranger cursed the Livingston homestead. Immediately after, a demonic presence came to haunt. The poltergeist, among other things, made a name for itself by cutting crescent moons out of linens, silks and leather goods. Why crescent moons? They say it was the moon god. And since no human would speak a demon's real name, the demon settled for a nickname-"The Wizard Clip." Over two years the Wizard destroyed the family's homestead. Admitting that the Haunt had religious intents, Adam persuaded various preachers to come and exorcise his property. But they could do nothing but run away. Then, through a nightmare, Adam discovered that to achieve his greatest desire, he had to embrace what he hated most.The principle characters are based on the real people and events: Lutheran flax farmer Adam Livingston, and his agnostic wife Mara; first U.S. bishop John Carroll; first U.S. ordained Catholic priest Fr. Augustine Gallitzin; pioneering priest Fr. Dennis Cahill; and retired sea captain and his American wife, Richard and Anastasia McSherry.
