Show Notes
In 1949, a 13-year-old Maryland boy named Ronald Hunkeler underwent a series of harrowing exorcisms that would inspire the film The Exorcist. Decades later, a young German woman named Anneliese Michel died after enduring 67 exorcism rituals over ten months, a tragedy that led to criminal convictions and became the basis for The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
