Summary

Anneliese Michel would die in a small, German town on July 1st, 1976. The official cause of death? Malnutrition and dehydration. But why did she stop eating? Mental illness? She’d seen a plethora of doctors for years, none of whom could determine, beyond epilepsy, exactly what was wrong. Brain scans revealed nothing abnormal. Why was she hearing voices? Was she simply suffering from a mental illness local doctors just weren’t knowledgeable enough to identify and treat? If so, how does mental illness explain others watching her eyes turn black and her hands turning into claws? Was something other than illness attacking her mind and body? Something not of this world? Something evil? We set this stage for both scientific and spiritual possibilities in part one of a two part dark and disturbing edition of Timesuck. Wanna donate and help the homeless?

0:25.6	joining the workforce, dating and joining her youth.
0:29.1	She should have been figuring out what she was going to do with her long and happy life.
0:33.1	Instead, she'd been undergoing multiple exorcism rituals a week for nearly a full year.
0:38.8	She was bedridden and weighed less than 70 pounds.

1:14.0	That's what happens when you skip the food pyramid and instead exist on a diet of spiders,
