  • The ‘70s were a big decade for Lucifer. The Exorcist came out in late ‘73, Anton LaVey was really feeling himself with the growing popularity of his Church of Satan, and his book, The Satanic Bible, was really hitting its stride. This enigmatic mixture of Satanic hysteria was a perfect storm that set up one of the most horrific cases of child abuse by way of religious ceremony and tradition.

    I have schizophrenia and I’ve often thought about how glad I am to be living now. Only a few decades ago I might have been lobotomized, locked up in some institution forever and god knows what. Poor girl.

    I’m sorry if this offends anyone but I find that overly religious people are creepy and very strange people.

    People fail this girl. She was begging for someone to help, and those around her failed her completely

    67 exorcisms in 11 months…..the definition of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

    Are you kidding me? The priest received 6 months and the parents didn’t receive any sort of punishment? She died of dehydration, starved to death, and obviously beaten.That’s the sickest part...

    I was prescribed Tegratol in the 80's. The side affects can be enough to make anyone appear possessed.

    Horrifying. As someone who has dealt with religious abuse I’m grateful for parents that aren’t that way.

    The scariest part of this story is that she died of malnutrition and dehydration, in her parents care.

    My sister is going for a masters in psychology and I remember when she looked at this case she said that it was a combination of severe schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, and possibly some other mental illnesses which I have forgot. But I remember what she said made the matter worse was that her parents were abusive and on top of that they were pretty high up in the church and that if you had kids with mental illness it really put a dent on your reputation so what they did is they just fell back on the idea she was possessed and then listened to anyone who agreed with them while attempting to avoid any comments that she was mentally ill. This is one of the most disturbing cases of child abuse in all of history.

    My mom has seizures and severe psychologic issues. She's been in and out of wards my whole life and believes the scenarios she creates in her head. She had me and my sisters convinced she was dying of cancer at a early age and went as far as shaving her head and I remember walking in on her in the bathroom as she was cutting herself over the sink with shards of glass from the mirror she had broke.

    I felt so bad for poor Annelise. Her death must have put her in a much better place (heaven) and took away the terrible pain and suffering she endured for the last year of her life.

    So a priest took one look at her and told her family that she didnt have a medical problem? That's some advance doctoring right there.

    I've always felt like this story was a combo of severe mental health problems and religious overfixation, and that those two things trigged each other and exasperated her situation.

    This story is so sad. From all of my research into her life and case, I always thought she suffered from mental illness. Now, knowing someone in my family has schizophrenia and learning about what they've been through, I'm more convinced. This family member had seizures when she was younger and at 17 was diagnosed as schizoaffective. The theory that some doctors have is that the seizures led to her becoming schizoaffective in her later teen years. I've learned that some people with schizophrenia have hallucinations and/or delusions about seeing demons or having them inside them. It's so horrible because, even though my family member is on medication for the illness, she still has horrible delusions and hallucinations and hears multiple voices (not as bad with medication, but it still can be scary for her). She's in therapy thankfully, which helps her to better understand her illness and how to deal with it. But, I see her every day (since I live with her) and it pains me that she has to go through this. I just can't imagine someone, especially family members, not nourishing Annelise even if it's with a feeding tube or IV. I feel the priests, in this case, should have had longer sentences because there was no excuse why she couldn't have gotten more medical help and nourishment through this time. :(

    It should also be known that high levels of anxiety can cause delusions , feeling of paranoia, etc.

  • @a.kitcat.b

    😟I personally think it was a combination of schizophrenia and religion being forced into her life leaving her in a downward spiral and people convincing her she was possessed.💔
