In 1976, 23-year-old Anneliese Michel died in Germany after months of exorcisms. She had suffered from seizures, hallucinations, and severe mental health problems for years. But her family and two priests believed she was possessed by demons. That belief only grew stronger when Anneliese began doing disturbing things, including eating spiders, eating coal, and drinking her own urine. During the exorcisms, priests claimed multiple demons spoke through her. In a deep, guttural voice, Anneliese claimed she was possessed by Nero, Judas, Cain, and others. She wanted the exorcisms recorded and reportedly asked for the tapes to be made public as proof that the devil was real. In total, 67 exorcisms were performed, and 42 of them were recorded on tape. By the end, Anneliese had died from starvation and dehydration, weighing only around 30 kg. Her parents and the two priests were later put on trial. They were convicted of negligent homicide because doctors said Anneliese could have survived if she had received proper medical care.
