This is how Annaliese's family is convinced that her daughter is possessed by a demon. Then they seek help in the Catholic Church , who reject them for considering that they do not meet all the requirements to practice an exorcism .

On the other hand, Annaliese's behavior was increasingly worse , he insulted, beat and bit the other family members, drank his own urine, screamed and crawled all over the house.He destroyed with great ferocity the religious objects he found in his path, such as crucifixes and paintings In addition to Jesus, he began to speak in other languages ​​with a voice that was definitely not his own.

Finally in 1975, the Bishop of Wurzburg, Josef Stangl, I authorize Father Arnold Renz and Pastor Ernst Alt to practice an exorcism .From that moment, there were 2 sessions per week to expel the demons that tormented this young woman.Despite the fragile state in which Anneliese was, it was necessary for three men to hold her while the exorcism sessions took place.

Death and trial

June 30, 1976 was the last exorcism session , since unfortunately Anneliese passed away on July 1 .Autopsy results indicated that Anneliese was malnourished, which is why she would have died.Consequently, both the girl's parents and the priests were accused of negligence and brought to trial.

At the trial several psychiatrists testified that what afflicted Anneliese were various mental disorders. On the other hand the defense of Annaliese's priests and parents showed photos and recordings in which the possession of the girl was evidenced .Doubts of a true possession disturbed most jurors, since despite finding them guilty in the charge of negligence manslaughter , the penalty imposed on the accused was quite short: 6 months in prison.
