In 1976, a young German woman named Anneliese Michel underwent a series of intense and harrowing exorcisms—67 sessions over 10 months—after her family and local priests became convinced she was possessed by demonic forces. Her story is one of faith, fear, and tragedy, blurring the line between religious belief and medical reality. Was Anneliese truly possessed, or was she suffering from an illness that went untreated? In this chilling episode of Haunted Hangout, we dive into the eerie claims made by those who witnessed the exorcisms and the controversial trial that followed her untimely death. Tune in—if you dare.
