In this episode of Crimenelia St, Sam and Tori discuss the disturbing case of Anneliese Michel and the circumstances surrounding her death after she went through a total of 67 of exorcisms sanctioned by the Catholic Church. Blending faith, fear, and questions about mental illness, Anneliese's story forces us to confront the blurred lines between spiritual belief and personal responsibility.
Content warning: This episode discusses mental health, religious exorcism, and death. Listener discretion is advised.
