Terrifying & True | Anneliese Michel: Exorcism, Medical Crisis & the Negligent-Homicide Trial

Anneliese Michel underwent exorcisms as her health collapsed. Terrifying & True follows the young woman from Klingenberg, West Germany, through seizures, psychiatric distress, and the belief that she was possessed. She died in 1976; her parents and two priests were convicted of negligent homicide in 1978. The episode examines how medical care failed, what the recordings can and cannot establish, and why the court focused on obtaining lifesaving help. A disturbing history of faith, illness, and responsibility asks how certainty about a supernatural cause can leave a person without rescue.
