Hey readers! Well I m sure many had seen the movie "Exorcism of Emily Rose."
The movie is loosely based on the life and story of Anneliese Michel a German Catholic women who was said to be possessed by demons.
Anneliese Michel was born on September 21, 1952 in west Germany. When she was sixteen, she suffered a severe convulsion and was diagnosed as having epilepsy. She soon suffered from depression and began to hear voices telling her that she was “damned" and will "rot in hell".
Her treatment in an unnamed psychiatric hospital did not improve Michel’s health. Moreover, her depression began to deepen. She grew increasingly frustrated with medical intervention as it did not help. Anneliese was unable to walk past a crucifix and refused to drink the water of a holy spring, her escort concluded that she was suffering from demonic possession.
Once convinced of her possession, Anneliese, her parents, and the exorcists stopped seeking medical treatment, and put her fate solely into the hands of the exorcism rites. Sixty-seven exorcism sessions, one or two each week, lasting up to four hours, were performed over about ten months.
On 1 July 1976, Anneliese died in her sleep. The autopsy report stated the cause of death as malnutrition and dehydration from almost a year of semi-starvation while the rites of exorcism were performed She weighed 30.91 kilograms.
Thank you.
