This is a super-interesting case (I was only aware of the basic details before reading this book and was looking for a more in-depth analysis), but wow, the subtitle here is a load of utter crock. This book has nothing at all to do with science. It's a highly distorting, religiously motivated, strongly biased, pseudo-scientific embarrassment. (I also did not realise before opening the book that it was actually published by a Catholic publisher and was littered with tacky ads for similar publicat...more
Any book by an academic that takes seriously issues concerning possession is worth five stars. Felicitas Goodman went on to write other books that dealt with issues of spirit possession and altered states of consciousness. The case of Anneliese Michel was one that clearly meant something to Goodman.

Quite simply this is one of the most depressing and harrowing books I have ever read and yet the fact I read it in just over 2 days bears testimony to its raw power.
I found myself feeling almost intrusive reading what this poor girl went through. It wasn't epilepsy and they could not find anything wrong with her medically so what is the alternative?
There has to be some credibility to the fact that she was possessed. Speaking in various languages and different tones and characters? Her whole faci...more

This book uses court transcripts and interviews to paint a portrait of a real-life exorcism from the 1970s that went horribly wrong. This section was both fascinating and dull at times (she does a very thorough job). 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' was based on this case.
Goodman is an academic, but not dismissive or patronizing on the subject of exorcism. She believes possession is real—although perhaps not a case of demons inhabiting the body of an unwitting soul—and not a purely Christians vs. T...more

Anneliese Michel was a young Catholic girl in Germany who died in 1976 at the age of 23. She began having seizures and seeing 'Fratzen' (demon-like figures) at the age of 16. After seeking medical help and becoming discouraged because nothing was working, she became convinced that she was possessed. She consequently sought the help of priests who would perform exorcisms over her to cast out the demons. The exorcism sessions were recorded on audio tapes, some of which you can find and listen to o...more

After seeing the movie THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE I really couldn't wait to read the book. As often happens the movie was much different than the book.
The thing I really like about this book was how it explained someone could come to the beliefe that they were possessed by demons. It is believed by the author that Anneliese was having a religiously altered state of consciousness, and had she not been on the medication her doctors gave her the exorcism would have worked. This is explained in the...more

This, I believe, is an excellent and honest treatment of the famous case that inspired 'Emily Rose.' Quite balanced view, which challenges us to look beyond psychology and investigate the case of possessions--and how we can deal with them as Catholics.
A terrific story, well accounted.
An incredibly spooky read- one of the only books to ever truly terrify me...

Utterly fascinating, from start to finish. The conclusion and analysis was a wild curve but, again, fascinating to read.

After reading Matt Baglio's book-The Rite-the possession case of Anneliese Michel immediately sprang to mind, primarily because of the fictionalized films that were based loosely on her life and case: The Exorcism of Emily Rose as well as Requiem. Without any fanfare or hyperbole, Dr. Felicitas Goodman, a religious anthropologist, quietly gets straight to-the-point in detailing the life of a young and devout Catholic college woman from Bavaria who began to experience claimed supernatural anomali...more
The story of Anneliese is very tragic. A young girl suffered from severe medical problems and in the end lost her life. I wanted to find an unbiased book of this exorcism but I did not. The author, Felicitas Goodman didn't delve deep enough into more logical explanations of what was happening to Anneliese.
Anyone in the book who had doubts of Anneliese being actually posessed by demons is usually brushed off. Goodman is so obviously biased by the way she never questions if the priests could ever...more

Real Footage Of Anneliese Michel
The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel, by Felicitas D. Goodman, is an amazing TRUE story about a girl possessed by evil spirits. It took place in the small town of Klingberg, Germany in the 1960’s. The main character is Anneliese Michel. She was a very religious and holy child. When she was a teenager, she would occasionally wake up feeling paralyzed and scared. She would proceed to urinate in her bed and began to see demonic figures. She thought she was going crazy. Her family called in both a docto...more

This is a novel-like narrative account of a famous German case of possession, devoting the bulk of its length to describing the peculiarities and drama of the case, and speeding a little too quickly through the trial (in which four people, two priests and the victim's parents, were found guilty of killing Michel through negligence) and ending with a pretty fascinating coda, which offers a psychological/medical/scientific explanation for what Goodman argues is a cross-cultural phenomenon.

The copy of the book I read was just a stack of copy paper; it was just a photocopied version. You may or may not know the movie 'the exorcism of emily rose' is loosely based on this book and though the movie is ok it only gives you a glimpse of the actual events that are noted in this book. The things that this young girl went through FOR YEARS are some of the most terrifying things I've ever read and though I started out being somewhat frighted of the book (reading it with the movie in mind)in...more

an anthropologist explores the real-life case of a german girl's possession and ultimate death in 1976. pretty spooky, but i'm still not convinced it was possession. i'm leaning more towards catatonic schizophrenia, perhaps. but by all means, check it out!

the book is very interesting!!! its also quite sad to hear about anna's life story that she had been through..... even i watch the movie' the exorcism of Emily Rose' story of anneliese michel.
It was an interesting read. The churches stand on exorcism, what happened to the priests, doctors and the family after she died. I would recommend.

This is an extremely haunting true story of a girl with serious health problems and religious convictions. An interesting anthropological study.
