In episode 30 of Uncloaked Mystics, hosts Steph and Ange dive into the chilling real-life case behind the 2005 film The Exorcism of Emily Rose. The episode explores the tragic life of Anneliese Michel, the devout German girl whose battle with epilepsy, disturbing visions, and possession led to one of the most controversial exorcism trials of all time. The hosts unravel the deeply religious environment Anneliese grew up in, the progression of her health issues, and how her family’s faith ultimately pushed them to seek spiritual intervention when medical solutions failed.
Through detailed descriptions of the 67 exorcism sessions, including audio clips, the episode captures the horror and suffering Anneliese endured before her death in 1976. The trial that followed raised questions about faith, mental illness, and responsibility, leading to a conviction of negligent homicide for her parents and the priests involved. After you’ve listened, ask yourself whether you believe Anneliese’s tragic story was one of possession or untreated mental illness. Then head over to our Discord server to share your thoughts.
