The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel

21 Sept 1952 - 1 July 1976

I watched the re-run of “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”, a movie based on a book of the same name, that was in turn based upon true events in Bavaria, Germany in 1976. The actual character in this exorcism was Anneliese Michel (picture above), a devout Catholic of strict Catholic upbringing, who was possessed by several demons namely Lucifer, Judas Iscariot, Nero, Cain, Hitler, and Fleischmann (a disgraced Frankish Priest from the 16th century). She was first possessed in 1968 when she was just 17. In 1969 she was sent to the Wurzburg Psychiatric Clinic and was diagnosed as having Grand Mal Epilepsy. In 1975, sensing nothing medically wrong with their daughter, her parents turned to exorcisms to heal her.

Arnold Renz and Ernst Alt

For 10 months Father Arnold Renz and Pastor Ernst Alt (shown above) performed rituals according to the Rituale Romanum on Anneliese. 67 rites performed altogether. In the end, as in the movie, she refused to eat and died of malnourishment and severe dehydration. She also suffered from high fever and Pneumonia. She weighed only 30kgs.

I’ve seen some weird stuff, all the way back to when I was 4 years old at least. However, my first time seeing anyone being possessed was back in 1990 when I was doing my Advanced Parachuting Course at the airport in Ipoh. An Air Force female recruit named Rafidah was possessed, and 16 others were down with hysteria. When I was then transfered to the base in Ipoh, and was put in charge of the female recruits, a recruit of mine named Siti Kamisah was possessed. No mass hysteria was recorded with this one, but she was violent. She single-handedly threw six of the male instructors who tried to restrain her, all at the same time. She could also leap over four double-decker bunks and ran through the door of the accommodation block when the door was shut and locked..without altering the state of the door! Cool! She should have been in the Special forces or Intelligence corps. She was in that state on and off for about 4 months before whatever that was inside her could be cast away.

Back to Anneliese, below are several photos taken of her during the exorcism. The link at the end of this posting is of her double-voiced mentioning the names of the demons inside her. This is an excerpt from the numerous recordings made during her exorcism.

Do you believe in the supernatural? Do they exist? The possibility is always there.
