The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel

Anneliese Michel, a young German woman with a history of epilepsy and mental illness, underwent 67 exorcisms before her death from malnutrition and dehydration. Her parents and the priests who performed the exorcisms were convicted of negligent homicide for neglecting her medical needs. The case sparked significant controversy, highlighting the intersection of mental illness, religious belief, and legal responsibility. The Catholic Church disavowed the claim of demonic possession, classifying Michel's condition as mental illness. Michel's story has inspired several films, solidifying its place in popular culture.
