The Exorcist
No.
The movie the Exorcist was based on a book of the same name by William Peter Blatty. The book is based on the real-life attempt of a priest to exorcise a demon from a young boy (the boy was around the same age Reagan was in the movie). Whether or not the real-life case was a true occurrence of demonic possession, or just a matter of misdiagnosed mental illness, is debatable.See the Related Links below for information about the "true" story that inspired the Exorcist.
