What is going to be your Halloween costume?

I’m sorry if this offends anyone but I find that overly religious people are creepy and very strange people.

I have schizophrenia and I’ve often thought about how glad I am to be living now. Only a few decades ago I might have been lobotomized, locked up in some institution forever and god knows what. Poor girl.

My mom has seizures and severe psychologic issues. She's been in and out of wards my whole life and believes the scenarios she creates in her head. She had me and my sisters convinced she was dying of cancer at a early age and went as far as shaving her head and I remember walking in on her in the bathroom as she was cutting herself over the sink with shards of glass from the mirror she had broke. I can honestly see how someone would think it's possession. Eventually she got on the right meds and treatment after years and years. She's still a mother of 3 and has a bunch of grandbabies but seeing how she is now is mind blowing when you have those memories of who she used to be

People fail this girl. She was begging for someone to help, and those around her failed her completely

If I had broken knees, I'd scream like an animal, too.

My sister is going for a masters in psychology and I remember when she looked at this case she said that it was a combination of severe schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, and possibly some other mental illnesses which I have forgot. But I remember what she said made the matter worse was that her parents were abusive and on top of that they were pretty high up in the church and that if you had kids with mental illness it really put a dent on your reputation so what they did is they just fell back on the idea she was possessed and then listened to anyone who agreed with them while attempting to avoid any comments that she was mentally ill. This is one of the most disturbing cases of child abuse in all of history.

I was prescribed Tegratol in the 80's. The side affects can be enough to make anyone appear possessed.

Horrifying. As someone who has dealt with religious abuse I’m grateful for parents that aren’t that way.

Are you kidding me? The priest received 6 months and the parents didn’t receive any sort of punishment? She died of dehydration, starved to death, and obviously beaten.That’s the sickest part...

The scariest part of this story is that she died of malnutrition and dehydration, in her parents care.

67 exorcisms in 11 months…..the definition of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

I felt so bad for poor Annelise. Her death must have put her in a much better place (heaven) and took away the terrible pain and suffering she endured for the last year of her life.

So a priest took one look at her and told her family that she didnt have a medical problem? That's some advance doctoring right there.

I've always felt like this story was a combo of severe mental health problems and religious overfixation, and that those two things trigged each other and exasperated her situation.

It should also be known that high levels of anxiety can cause delusions , feeling of paranoia, etc. I remember one time as a kid I passed out for no reason, my mom thinks it was a weird reaction to a cough medicine. My mom use to pass out at doctors offices from anxiety. Heavy depression can also sometimes cause one to hear sounds or racing thoughts. Normal people can have periods of dissociation. She could have had a reaction to the medication. Sounds like some sort of deep psychosis. People who are heavily under the influence of drugs (like the cocktail she took) or even psychotic, their eyes can get so dilated that they look black.

I love how literally everyone in the comment suddenly become a doctor and knows what was wrong with her😂. Good job👏!

The scariest part is that this happened not that long ago. I mean, I could understand this happened in the middle ages but in the 1970s wtf?!

Satan, Judas, Cain, Hitler and Nero all living in one house. This is Big Brother season 666.

This story is so sad. From all of my research into her life and case, I always thought she suffered from mental illness. Now, knowing someone in my family has schizophrenia and learning about what they've been through, I'm more convinced. This family member had seizures when she was younger and at 17 was diagnosed as schizoaffective. The theory that some doctors have is that the seizures led to her becoming schizoaffective in her later teen years. I've learned that some people with schizophrenia have hallucinations and/or delusions about seeing demons or having them inside them. It's so horrible because, even though my family member is on medication for the illness, she still has horrible delusions and hallucinations and hears multiple voices (not as bad with medication, but it still can be scary for her). She's in therapy thankfully, which helps her to better understand her illness and how to deal with it. But, I see her every day (since I live with her) and it pains me that she has to go through this. I just can't imagine someone, especially family members, not nourishing Annelise even if it's with a feeding tube or IV. I feel the priests, in this case, should have had longer sentences because there was no excuse why she couldn't have gotten more medical help and nourishment through this time. :(

😟I personally think it was a combination of schizophrenia and religion being forced into her life leaving her in a downward spiral and people convincing her she was possessed.💔

When I worked at the Gerichtsmedizinisch Instituet der Univearsitaet Wuerzburg, (Forensic Laboratory of the University of Wurzburg) Analisa's corpse was brought into the morgue. Her knees were devoid of all flesh, her kneecaps being clearly visible as there was also no skin left. We were told by her parents that Analisa spent most of the day kneeling on the wooden floor , scraping the skin off her knees while imprisoned in her bedroom. Everyone at the lab felt her parents neglected her and most probably planted the seed of her mental illness early in Analisa's life. I thought it was criminal of the church to allow the parents to remove Analisa from the hospital as did all my colleagues.

" She didn't look like an epileptic" WTF

Anneliese would be 70 years old now, such a tragic story :(

It's observed that a family who is very religious always have children who are guilty driven emotionally if they give in to sexual desires. They start to hate themselves and consider themselves as a sinner and they end up like Annalise. Wish they could just live as normal humans.

Do we even realize how lucky we are to be living in our times?

Do a video over the Salem witch trials

A+ video! Fascinating (and disturbing) history! Great film and very scary!

You didn’t explain she spoke fluently Latin which she never touched upon ...

It just sounds like she had schizophrenia and epilepsy combined with an obsession with Catholicism, combined with continual abuse and trauma, no wonder people thought she was possessed. The parents and her doctors were also obviously clueless.

Welcome to the 70s, where extreme schizophrenia was mistaken for epilepsy and demonic possession. Edit: whoa calm down "angels and satans", never knew a single sentence would cause a buzz this huge.🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm not overly religious but I do know that evil does exist in this world.....that being said I find it odd how people find it so hard to believe that maybe she actually was possessed and no medication would've helped her🤷

When my elder brother was 7/8 years old, he threw stones on a tree one day at the evening. Later that night he started having hallucinations and bad dreams. This went on for several months, and clinical treatment made no effect, exorcisms weren’t too helpful either, but it helped him to stay calm. Once he almost carried two full grown man outside of his room and pointed at the stairs, saying look, a bearded man with twisted stick is coming, please help me. After few daysduring an exorcism, the spirit or whatever, said he would leave but this is not fairwell. The boy shouldn’t have hurt him in the eye with stones. My brother is 42 now, til this day he can't sleep alone, if he does, he has bad dreams.

I really dont see anyone talking about the drugs she was on, I'm sure they had some nasty side effects initially.

Q: How do ghosts keep fit? A: By exorcising regularly. 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

The scariest part is "This is a freaking TRUE STORY" 💔💔🤕. No body deserves this, no one!

Thanks for sharing your information

Oh, hello fellow human. I'm just scrolling through since I'm scared.

Emily Rose was my grandmother's maiden name, no kidding! When I saw the movie title 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' several years ago, it kind if freaked me out.

The way those three were dancing in the starting- it was hilarious

Awesome video!

The real horror is this poor lady was clearly mentally ill and needed intense therapy.

KZfaq algorithm: "they'll watch just about anything at this point."

Blatty's book and articles about the making of The Exorcist were all the students at Anneliese's university could talk about. So she became obsessed with the idea that her health problems and seizures were caused by posession. Posession and demons were already suggested to her during the previous years by an elderly woman who used to chaperone Anneliese. This put the blame for her illness on the demons and not on herself, so she would not be rediculed anymore. In order to convince everybody, she started behaving irradically. She got so absorbed, that she could not stop anymore. This finally led to her death. Do not misunderstand me: the parents and priests are responsible for her death. They should have put her into mental care, but in stead they encouraged her in her behaviour as she was the center of their attention.

I have temporal lobe epilepsy and I’m often told that I don’t look epileptic since I don’t have convulsions. Which is so stupid 🤦🏼‍♀️ It took me months to figure out the right combo of meds with my doctors. Some of them made my seizures worse. It could have been similar with Anneliese, if her meds weren’t the right fit for her epilepsy. I feel so bad for her, having to go through so much trauma and neglect. 😞

I think this story is more sad than scary. But i LOVE doing the real history of scary stories! I hope you do more.

That's a sad story of what happens when mental illness and religious fanaticism comes together.

Awesome video! You should make a video about Albert Einstein!!!!

Amazing video man :]

Dude imagine blacking out and having sleep paralysis and your parents tell you you have a demon inside you

Shouldn't have watched this all alone in the middle of the night....

Poor young woman, she endured such plague for so long, god rest her soul

I think it's just because of the stress from her parents she was told to be more religious than an average . That led her to the point of halusination . She started to see things she completely lost her mind...

Instead of being scared, I just feel sad for her... She did not deserve those kind of people around her😢

I'd like to hear what the two siblings have to say about their sister, and their parents. Some perspective from them, if they were around during that ordeal.

7:18 sounds like the dude from the Wild Thornberries. Anyway, this whole story is horrifying. Not because of anything supernatural, but because of how she was treated. There could be no justice to begin with, but the lack of even an attempt for justice is the most horrifying of all.

Your intro was so funny then scared 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Seizures get worse after starting meds? Oh just give her more meds. Couldn’t POSSIBLY be the medication

That poor baby. The hardest part about being a mother is knowing there are monsters out there allowed to be parents.

I don't like the narrator saying the girls were "forced" to pray to attend Mass. A lot of parents take their kids to church and follow in their faith. There's nothing nefarious about it.

Now They call it Schizophrenia

It’s almost as if the medicine she was prescribed were making things worse

Knowing how mentally ill she was, I'm not even scared of her screamings they just reflect how bad she was treated and it makes me feel so sad for her...

As a literal child I was obsessed with exorcism movies , biggest fear was becoming possessed, I often thought I was because I'd experience paranormal things along with sleep paralysis and nightmares of demons . I was very religious early on but am now very very much not . I don't agree with organized religion but to each their own . Anyways I'm fascinated that she died on the 1st . I was born on the 2nd .

Avid fan of this channel. Can you do a research for Bermuda Triangle? 🥰

Satan dancing to a disco tune for a solid amount of time is the quality content I subscribe for

They took her off her psych meds without warning? No wonder she got worse

I'm not a doctor but my guess is that she had epilepsy or some kind of mental health disorder. And due to her stress with religion because of her extremely religious and strict parents, religion could've been a trigger for her, and that's why she gets freaked out when she sees religious things

I am on anti-depressants for PTSD. One day I got gastroenteritis and had to go to the hospital without having my meds with me. Eventually, stopping the meds abruptly for 24 hours caused a crisis, and I started crying and screaming and bumping my head up and down on the hospital bed. I was screaming so loud that all the staff ran to try to calm me down and some old ladies started praying. I managed to explain the issue to the doctors, they gave me diazepam and I calmed down. My meds are third-generation anti-depressants in quite a moderate dosage. Imagine if she had a much more serious illness, epilepsy or schizophrenia and cutting abruptly the meds they were giving them in the 70s. Poor girl, she lost her life due to ignorance.

"She doesn't look like an epileptic". Oh well thank you for your diagnosis! Highly scientific of you.

These comments got people sounding like they got PhD’s 😭😭

I can relate coming off of heroin: you dont eat, heat flashes, cold sweats, Implosion of the stomach, throw up green bile, contortion of the joints, rage, irritability, poor hygiene, everything but levitation

6 spirits possessed her!? What a hellish 6!

I feel like it wasn't just the wrong drugs that made her symptoms worse but the fact that she was locked in her room with likely little human interaction. Isolation would drive even the best to insanity but I'm no expert on this topic

The actress playing Emily was so damned convincing in the stable scene that she even creeps out the movie Director...

Can anyone shed light on her scary voices while being exorcised?

That poor girl that is injustice , medication probably played a huge part this is extremely sad and upsetting

"She doesn't look like an epileptic" those are some pro neurologist skills that priest had.

Damn imagine having hitler as one of your demons.. Dude never stopped talking when he was alive so imagine his demon.

Lucifer is still a huge hit these days , he’s everywhere in music and video games. I constantly see demon horns and weird shit in pop culture all the time

No one wants God until something bad happens then the first thing they say is God help me.

In high school, 16, I struggled with anxiety and started having panic atacks. Due to some religious influences from my family, I started thinking those things were somewhat spiritual. I dove deep into Pentecostalism to get rid of my 'demons' to the point I became a fanatic. If I had any psychological attention maybe I could've avoided all of those stressing religious experiences.

God bless her soul, she endured so much pain and suffering. I hope her spirit is now at peace

I asked a year ago, what's the music playing in the beginning of the video? Happy Halloween

Can i use this video during one of my Rumble sermons on demonic possession ...trying to bring awareness to people dealing with possession

Honestly the real story is way scarier than the films. Poor girl was let down by her evil parents.

The village where she’s from is next to the village where I’m from 😱 her grave is really scary

First and foremost I think she was really possessed I don't think there's a way you can lie about that

5:09 I graduated nursing school on June 12th, which was Raggedy Ann and Andy Day (like the rag doll reference) and Red Rose Day (reference to Emily Rose). Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Emily Rose in the film, graduated high school (1998) and college (2002) the same years I did.

so many people in the comments don’t realize how severe mental illnesses can be ://

The audio tapes are some of the scariest things ive ever heard

My youngest uncle Who was like super close to me (only 10 years older than me) was getting married in March 2021 and at the very night of his marriage ceremony he started having seizures, he was nonstop reciting verses from Quran then suddenly getting extra loud then seizures then calm recitation while being in like coma.... Btw we Don't speak Arabic. That was the circle until he died. Doctor said it was tuberculosis meningitis perhaps it really was but it marked a spot on my atheist mind as i was always there with him. At some point you have to have "faith" even in medical science because what was happening looked beyond Traditional science. I miss him

What Satan said through Anneliese Michel - Germany, 1975. Anneliese (born in 1952) was a pious girl from a strong Catholic family. She was part of that period in the Church when changes were happening in the holy liturgy. When communion in the hand was introduced, she instinctively felt this was wrong, so she stopped going to her parish and found one which kept to the correct way. It was also a time when many clergy stopped believing in many doctrines, for example referring to demons as medieval theology. It was a time of dissent in many parts of the Western Church. The rebellion against Humanae Vitae (1968) was widespread, and many other teachings were being questioned or challenged. One could call this period onwards a diabolical confusion. Sadly the confusion hasn't ended. Anneliese Michel had a vision of Our Lady in her early 20s. Our Lady asked her if she was prepared to suffer much for German youth and priests. She agreed. The suffering would be in the form of demonic possession. She was to be a "victim soul". Anneliese was to show Germany and the world that devils really do exist. Throughout her possession, she still prayed, went to mass, said the rosary and received the sacraments. She would be possessed by up to 10 demons some of whom revealed themselves - Lucifer, Cain, Hitler, Nero and Fr Fleischmann, among them. The 2 priests who carried out the exorcisms were not supported by their bishops - they suffered much. They knew she was possessed, having carried out all the tests that have to be done when deciding on a case - it is pretty meticulous. (Father Fortea talks about the assessment in his interview). The priests recorded the exorcisms which means there is a record of what was said. What the demons say is revealing. I am only going to put some of what they said, and these were published by Father A Faroni. Father Fortea includes them in his e-book. What Lucifer said:- "I want to conquer the earth for myself. In the meantime, I make a rich booty. I am filling up my kingdom. I take whatever I can take, I must convince you of this". "The majority have abandoned the Nazarene. How foolish! Those still faithful are a small flock". "I took Judas with me! He is always at my service. He is damned. He could have saved himself, but he has not followed the Nazarene". "The enemies of the Church belong to us". "O, if you had an idea of how things stand below! The visionary children of Fatima have seen it. If you had an idea..... you would be on your knees day and night at the tabernacle. I had to say it because the High Lady compels me to". The 'High Lady' refers to Our Lady. Fr Renz asks Lucifer - "You are responsible for heresies, eg those of Kung!". Lucifer replies - " Yes and we have still more". Lucifer said - "The priests should say that I exist. Or else they will all go down!" What Judas said:- "I am damned for eternity! You careless people, if you could just imagine what it is to be damned for eternity! I am damned! "I will not come out of the girl. Down there, it is too tormenting". "If people knew what was in store for them by not going to church! It will fair them extremely bad". "These modernists are the result of my work and they already belong to me". "They no longer obey the Pope in Rome. It is the one in Rome who still keeps the Church going". "Humanae Vitae is also with no result. It is useless" "The religious in monasteries watch TV and don't pray enough, do not kneel down and they extend their paws (ie, receive Holy Communion in the hand). What Cain said:- "I have killed my brother. I am burning" What Hitler said:- "Men are so beastly stupid! They believe that after death all is finished. But life goes on, either up or down" What Father Fleischmann said:- "I was a priest at Ettleben. I am damned. It is horrible down there. Judas pulled me down there". " I am damned because I fulfilled my duties very badly" "I have killed 1 person and I had women". "I prayed too little. I was always in a hurry to finish my sacred duties. Now, I am down there languishing for eternity". "No priests should marry". "If the bishops did not permit communion in the hand, this would not have happened" (this refers to consecrated hosts being sold). What Nero said:- "You should follow the message of Fatima!" "Humanae Vitae is decisive, the whole Humanae Vitae!" "The rosary should be recited, or else it is the end!" Fr Renz asks about Bishop Lefebvre. Lucifer replies, "Ha! That one! But they don't believe in him. What a pity". Miscellaneous things the demons said:- "The modernists are killing the Church. We are hard at work at this". "No one speaks any longer of us, especially the parish priests". "The bishops are so foolish as to believe the theologians like Kung rather than the Pope." "This is the month of the rosary but very few recite it, because the parish priests think it's not modern. They are so foolish! If they knew its importance! It is a strong weapon against Satan and against us." Nero said, "The Dutch bishops are heretics. They have become unfaithful to the Pope!" "Catholics have the true doctrine and they run after the Protestants like prostitutes!" "There in the synods, they continue to deliberate. The bishops already know what they should do. There would be no need of synods if they followed the Pope. For them the Pope is foolish! They are those who let that thing (the host) be given in the hands!" "The doctrine is falsified in the Church!" "Many do not go to church any longer. No one kneels down to the Blessed Sacrament. And the Church is not doing well since the time it was founded. The churches are so modern! The Nazarene and His Mother are now attacking!" "People should go to confession". Judas says, "The giving of Communion in the hand was my work". "Holy water should come back to houses! Also, the crucifix should return to its place in the home". "The Holy Face should be venerated!" "The Divine Mercy image should be propogated". "It is very important to pray to St Joseph. Rather it is most important!". "If the message of Fatima is not given due importance and Humanae Vitae, a new punishment will come". "It won't last much longer. The chastisement is coming". "The contents of the audio cassette must beforehand be made public. Many will yet be saved." "Guardian angels are day and night near you, behind you. Today people do not believe in guardian angels. Guardian angels are my enemies. I hate them." Nero said, "Abortion is homicide" Lucifer said, "The apparitions of San Damiano and Montechiari are true. The Church did not approve them, but this is the fruit of our work." Judas said, "People standing during Holy Communion pleases me more than kneeling. I do everything possible that no one be on his knees." In 1975, Judas also said, "We are very happy with the new reforms. We are most happy with these changes." "The films are bad and TV not better". The 2 priests involved, and one of their bishops all believed Anneliese was possessed. It was the first official and public case of exorcism in Germany in 50 years and the only known case recorded on tapes. There have been no known exorcisms carried out in Germany since Annelies's death. The author believes she died a martyr. After 67 sessions she died on 1st July 1976. People have been visiting her grave since her death. It has acquired pilgrimage status. The author of this book applauds the following films, for showing the reality of possession - "The Exorcist", and "The Exorcism of Emily Rose". The most famous living exorcist - Gabriele Amorth also recommends these films, for their sheer realism.

She was misdiagnosed. Clearly she had something terribly wrong with her mentally.

“She didn’t look like an epileptic” ????? And the parents just believed him??!!!

I have epilepsy myself and after every seizure it feels like you’re asleep and can’t remember anything so the good part she wasn’t suffering! (You can feel a bit tired afterwards, but nothing more)

I just know one thing, whenever I play the real recordings of this poor girls now it's twice that it has happened, my dog gives a very violent reaction. He just started growling, snarling and once was even ready to bite me but he stopped himself at the right time. The second time he again gave the same reaction, and was staring at me with disbelief, he absolutely hated those sounds and was just not himself. Although he's habitual to unpleasant sounds and hasn't ever reacted this way. I decided now never to play the video again that's it.

well clearly she had some sort of mental illness. this "someone is sitting on my chest" happens to many people who experience sleep paralysis. all her other symptoms of visual/ auditory hallucinations are signs of other disorders like schizophrenia. add schizophrenia to an overly religious mind and u get the demonic possession story. well, I wish she had been born in todays time ...someone would have taken better care of her. and what the hell is wrong with her parents? even if they want to exorcise her...couldn't they have fed her in the intervals?

Such a horrible way to treat a kid.. Life's not fair, it never was.. Imagine how much abuse she endured that she went completely mental, im pretty sure those drugs messed her up even further

Poor sweet baby. I wonder how those kids at her school felt about their behavior when they found out she was dead - I hope they pay attention to how they show up in this world. Religion has more to do with rules and theology than it does having a relationship with the Divine. I'm so sorry no one helped her. Rest with God, little Anneliese.
