10 Disturbing Possessions And Exorcisms That Really Happened

Born in 1882, Anna Ecklund showed symptoms of possession at the age of 14: she was unable to enter church, she was venomous towards all things sacred or holy, and she was obsessed with disturbing sexual acts in a time when porn was not readily available.

Capuchin monk Theophilus Riesinger successfully exorcised the demons within Anna on 18 June 1912, but his good work was undone through a curse manifested by the young girl’s malicious dad and wicked aunt.

Over twenty years later, Father Theophilus came to the possessed girl’s rescue yet again and sent her to a convent maintained by Franciscan nuns where he conducted an exorcism that lasted 23 days from August to December 1928. During the on-again, off-again exorcism, Anna taunted the nuns and priests by revealing all the sins they had committed in their childhood, her lips grew as big as hands, and despite not eating she eventually weighed as much as concrete.

Lucifer and Beelzebub were two of the demons who possessed the vulnerable girl, along with her dad and aunt; her father was condemned to hell for cursing his daughter because she refused to commit incest with him, while her aunt was burning in the devil’s world for being a practicing witch and adulterer who allegedly killed four children via abortion.

Two days before Christmas, Father Theophilus banished the demons and heard them scream as they left Anna’s body.
