Hollywood often creates popular exorcism movies, but real-life claims of demonic possession occur worldwide, sparking debates over their authenticity.
TMZ Studios’ new series, “Strange & Suspicious,” airing on several FOX stations, delves into bizarre and unexplained stories, now turning its focus to the validity of exorcisms.
Consider Anneliese Michel from Germany, who claimed she was possessed by a demon asserting its right to inhabit her body until her death.
While many exorcisms take place privately, away from cameras and cinematic drama, some occur in churches and are even recorded.
Public exorcisms can sometimes appear theatrical, prompting questions about whether the individuals involved are truly possessed or suffering from mental health issues.
Other explanations, rooted in science or medicine, also emerge, but cases like Anneliese’s seem particularly unsettling and continue to intrigue.
