On this episode, we look at the life of a young woman from Germany named Anneliese Michel. After being told she was demon possessed, she was subjected to 67 exorcisms over a 10 month period resulting in her death. She died of malnutrition and dehydration. Her parents and the priests who performed the exorcisms were charged with Neglectful Homicide. Today, we tell her story and ask, was Anneliese truly possessed as the priests claimed, or was she suffering from a medical condition as doctors claimed?
