"The Exorcism of Emily Rose" was adapted from Anneliese Michel's real-life case of demonic possession.
Some movie buffs who enjoyed shrieking to “The Exorcism of Emilie Rose” are probably unaware that the 2005 horror film was actually inspired by the real-life demonic possession of a German girl named Anneliese Michel.
Anneliese, who underwent clandestine Catholic exorcism rites in 1975, died a year after due to severe dehydration and starvation. At that time, it was Germany’s first official and public case of exorcism in about 50 years, and the only known case to have actual audio recordings.
Warning: This article contains the real pictures and actual audio recording taken during Anneliese’s exorcism. These may be too frightening and disturbing for some readers.
But in 1969, at the age of 17, her quiet and peaceful life changed as she started to experience constant epileptic seizures and convulsions. She was diagnosed with severe psychosis and temporal lobe epilepsy. Anneliese received medical treatment at a psychiatric hospital, but this only exacerbated her depression even more.
According to reports, she also began to hallucinate…
Anneliese’s parents, Josef and Anna Michel, sought the help of priests and requested for a Catholic exorcism, but the priests declined and recommended for the continuation of her medical treatment.
During Anneliese’s “episodes”, her voice and face would change into something demonic. She’d tear her clothes apart, lick her own urine, and eat coal. Reports claim that the demons who possessed her would identify themselves as Cain, Judas Iscariot, Nero, Hitler, and Lucifer himself.
After 67 exorcisms, Anneliese Michel died due to severe dehydration and starvation on the 1st of July, 1976– she was 23-years-old.
However, her parents and the priests were apprehended by authorities and were charged with negligent homicide. They paid a fine and were sentenced to serve six months in jail, but it was reduced to three years of probation.
Anneliese Michel’s case has been referred to as an example of negligence, abuse, religious hysteria, and misidentified psychological disorder. But the priests, their bishop, her family, and some close friends believe she was indeed possessed.
