The exorcism of emily rose real story - emilyreview

Soon, Anneliese started experiencing devilish hallucinations while praying.

Consequentially, they claimed, she later accepted her behavior as a form of demonic possession.

Religious tourists from around the world regularly visit her grave, leaving handwritten notes of thanks and gratitude as they sing and pray for the young woman they believe sacrificed her own life to atone for the sins of others.

In 1976, after nearly a year of exorcism sessions, she died, apparently of starvation, resulting in a criminal trial for the priests and her parents.

Emily passed away from a combination of self-inflicted wounds and malnutrition following a series of Catholic exorcisms and the jury is tasked with determining whether she was ever really possessed or if she was simply severely mentally ill and in need of psychiatric care with which she wasn't sufficiently provided.

Her life story would lead to one of the most unsettling and widely accepted accounts of possession to date.
