Emily Rose (Anneliese Michel)

"The exorcism of Emily Rose" was another famous possession movie based on true events.
The girl was 17 and attending high school when she first started suffering from convulsions. Emily who's real name is Anne had her first epileptic attack in 1969, she was then diagnosed with Grand Mal epilepsy.
She began to have evil hallucinations while praying as well as hearing voices. In 1973 the courts said she was depressed and considering suicide. In 1975 her parents began to think she was possessed. They gave up on the doctors and turned to religion. Her symptoms were compared to schizophrenia and she could have responded to treatment.
Here is a quote from Anne's mother. "I know that we did the right thing because I saw the sign of Christ in her hands. She was bearing the stigmata and that was a sign from god that we should exorcise  the demons. She died to save other lost souls, to atone for there sins."
