Tarsha's story this week was about Anneliese Michel, the real story behind the movie 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose'. Anneliese was just 16 years old when she had her first episode, an episode that had doctors convinced she was epileptic, but Anneliese didn't think that was the case at all. She was convinced that the devil was inside her, and the church agreed. Many attempts to free her from the grips of possession were not enough to save this poor girl as she slowly starved her self to death, claiming that 'she was no longer permitted to eat'. At just 23 years young, this young soul took her last breathe. Find out more about Anneliese's story anywhere you get your podcasts.
