In the 1970s, Anneliese suffered from increasingly extreme symptoms—hearing voices, disorientation, religious fixations, and periods of fear for herself and others. Some of the descriptions sound to me like classic psychiatric signs, while others seem to have come straight from a handbook on demonic possession. And the crazy thing is: depending on the source, it sounds completely different. She received medical diagnoses, including epilepsy and possible mental disorders. At the same time, her religious interpretations (and those of those around her) were so intense that in the end, several exorcisms were performed—a total of 67 sessions. Some of the recordings are really hard to listen to, regardless of whether you interpret them as natural or supernatural.

Or perhaps those are the same thing?
Most likely she was just a very unwell lady and nobody managed to help her.
I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of demons though, definitely intriguing
Earlier this week I read a insightful post on Reddit, about possessions. Why would a demon possess this girl? How much damage can it possibly do? Realistically, they would rather go for people in the upper echelons, with power, with reach, that can cause maximum suffering to billions. If she really was possessed, this demon really missed the memo. I think this was mental illness misdiagnosed. And it was very unfortunate
Is this the one where they starved and murdered the poor girl because they didn’t understand mental health?
