The girl underwent 67 rites of exorcism, during which she ate dead insects and animals, barked like a dog and licked her urine off the floor. Anneliese died on June 1, 1976, of malnutrition and dehydration.

Her parents and the priests who performed the exorcism rituals were severely criticised and eventually had to stand trial. Medical specialists said Anneliese’s mental disorder resulted partially from the exceptionally severe religious upbringing: she had been persuaded to suffer for the sins and obediently fulfilled this mission.

According to testimonies, she could have survived if she had been force-fed at least a week before her death. However, there were things in this case that had no rational explanation, and what happened will forever remain a mystery.
