Did you know that the hit horror movie, The Exorcism Of Emily Rose, was based on a true story?
While there was never an Emily Rose, there was an Anneliese Michel.
According to numerous reports, the young girl was afflicted by intense shaking and loss of control over her body.
Confused by her symptoms, doctors diagnosed her with grand mal seizures… but her behaviour grew worse.
She began attacking family members and drinking her own urine.
Most tellingly of all, she seemed very afraid of religious objects.
Her concerned family eventually convinced priests, and they went on to perform multiple exorcisms.
Anneliese died in 1976 of pneumonia, before the last exorcism (there'd been 40 by that time) could be performed.
