I just read the story of the exorsism of Anneliese Michel.She's the one that inspired the making of 'The Exorsism of Emily Rose'.As they have been writing, it's based on a true story, except that they changed the girl's identity.Michel is a real person from germany, while Rose is a fictional character from America created for the movie.
Anneliese was born in 1952.One day in 1968, she started having uncontrollable seisures and couldn't control her body. After the attacks began, Anneliese started seeing devilish grimaces during her daily praying.In 1973, her parents made requests for an exorcism but were rejected.They were told that Anneliese should continue with medication and treatment.In 1974, this pastor requested a permit to perform an exorcism on Anneliese, but was rejected again.The attacks did not diminish, and her behavior become more erratic.At her parents' house in Klingenberg, she insulted, beat, and began biting the other members of her family. She refused to eat because the demons would not allow it. Anneliese slept on the stone floor, ate spiders, flies, and coal, and even began drinking her own urine. She could be heard screaming throughout the house for hours while breaking crucifixes, destroying paintings of Jesus, and pulling apart rosaries. Anneliese began committing acts of self-mutilation at this time, and the act of tearing off her clothes and urinating on the floor became commonplace.
So, finally, the Bishop of Wurzburg assigned 2 people to perform 'The Great Exorcism' on Anneliese.From September '75 until July '76, one or two exorcism sessions were held each week. Anneliese's attacks were sometimes so strong that she would have to be held down by 3 men, or even chained up.The attacks, however, did not stop. In fact, she would more often find herself paralyzed and falling unconscious than before.For a few weeks, Anneliese refused food, and her knees ruptured.
The exorcism ended on the 30th of June, 1976.Anneliese died on the 1st of July, her last words being, "Mother, I'm afraid."After that, there was a trail about what caused her death and blah, blah, blah.Her corpse was exhumed eleven and a half years after her burial, only to confirm that it had decayed as would have been expected under normal circumstances.Amazingly, her grave has become a place of pilgrimage for people who believe that she fought the devil.
Demons in her include Lucifer [fallen angel], Judas Iscariot [betrayed Jesus], Nero [anyone know who he is?], Cain [killed Abel, his brother], Hitler [responsible for starting WW1], and Fleischmann [a disgraced Frankish Priest from the 16th century].
I'm shocked.I thought Judas repented before he died.And Hitler was in her.Hahahahah
