Yes, I grew up around that part of the world, and it's very frightening coz it could have happened anywhere in Europe. The symptoms of the woman are very common for ppl with certain mental illnesses, and to think she received priests' lethal rituals of superstition instead of medical treatment is freaking scary.

prosecution
A prosecutor then conducted an
investigation after which the two
exorcists and Anneliese's parents
were charged with negligence
causing death because the
doctors said she was an epileptic
and a psychotic. The priests
produced recordings of various
exorcisms they had performed,
during which they said they
could distinguish the voices of
two demons in the process of
arguing, wondering which of
them would leave the body of
Anneliese first. Anneliese's
parents and both priests were
sentenced to six months in
prison.

Exorcism and death
In 1975, when Anneliese Michel
was 23 years old, an older
woman who accompanied her
on a pilgrimage concluded that
Michel was suffering from
demonic possession because
Michel was unable to walk past a
certain icon of Jesus Christ and
refused to drink the water of a
holy spring. An exorcist in a
nearby town examined Michel
and believed she was suffering
from demonic possession. The
bishop issued permission to
perform the rite of exorcism
according to the Rituale
Romanum of 1614.
After 10 months of unsuccessful
psychiatric treatments, they gave
up on medical treatment and
chose to rely solely on the
exorcisms for healing. The
rites of exorcism were
performed over the course of
about ten months between 1975
and 1976. A total of sixty-seven
exorcism sessions were held,
one or two each week, some
lasting up to four hours. At
some point she began talking
increasingly about dying to atone
for the wayward youth of the
day and the apostate priests of
the modern church, and refused
to eat. Though she had received
treatment for epilepsy by this
time, at her own request, doctors
were no longer being consulted
after Anneliese mentioned the
"demons" to the doctors,
explaining that they started to
give her orders. The doctors
seemed unable to help, and
Anneliese lost hope that
medicine was going to be able to
cure her of her problems.
On July 1, 1976, Anneliese Michel
died in her sleep. The autopsy
report stated that her death
resulted from the malnutrition
and dehydration due to almost a
year of semi-starvation during
which time the rites of exorcism
were also performed.

Early life
Anneliese Michel was born on
September 21, 1952 in Leiblfing,
Bavaria, Germany. Michel was
raised in a strict Catholic family. A
devout girl, she tried to make
reparations for the sins of
wayward priests and drug
addicts by sleeping on a bare
floor during the dead of winter.
In 1968, when Anneliese was 16
and still in high school, she
began to suffer from
convulsions. Court findings had
her experiencing her first
epileptic attack in 1969.
Soon, Anneliese started
experiencing hallucinations while
praying. She also began to
hear voices, which told her that
she was damned. By 1973
Anneliese was suffering from
depression and considering
suicide.Her behavior became
increasingly bizarre; she tore off
her clothes, ate coal and spiders
off the floor, and licked up her
own urine.

Anneliese Michel (September 21,
1952 – July 1, 1976) was a
German Catholic woman who
was said to be possessed by
demons and subsequently
underwent an exorcism. Two
motion pictures, The Exorcism of
Emily Rose and Requiem, are
loosely based on Michel's story.

Interesting story, but I don't believe that she suffered from demon possession.
