Here's the real story:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anneliese_Michel

Greetings! There are several legends surrounding this rock on the Rhine River in German folklore, the most common tale centering around a strikingly beautiful maiden (Lorelei)whose immense beauty so "enchanted" the men-folk, and because her lover was faithless and left her, she sought the love of others. As a result, the townsfolk charged her with being a witch, fearing she had brought sin to the town. She was brought before the Bishop and put to trial, but was declared innocent. Instead of death, it was ordered she serve in a Convent. Lorelei begged for death, but was denied, and as she was being brought to the Convent, she passed by a steep cliff, where it is said that she leapt to her death. The legend has it that she was turned into a Siren, and the sound of her singing so mesmerized the sailors who sailed past, prompting them to look up to the rock. Upon doing this though, their boats would crash against the rocks and sink.\n\nAnother version of the legend simply says that the beautiful maiden, Lorelei, was so grieved by the betrayal and loss of her lover that she hurled herself into the river. She was then transformed into a siren and her hypnotic singing could be heard echoing among the rocks, bringing sailors to their deaths.\n\nI hope this helps :-)

I think it is a scare tactic. I do believe in mediums, but not emily rose type posessions. I don't get why a "demon" would want to possess a body, only to harm it. It is like buying a house only to burn it up.

I heard that the story was from east of France, possibly even as far as Russia. It's a very old story. I'm sure that it had some basis in truth.

No its not true. Bloody Mary was an English Queen who killed lots of innocent men. The myth about seeing her in the mirror came from followers of her who were later executed by her. Supposively you have to be a true follower in her cause to conjure up her image. Fortunately, unlike Hitler, noone remains who believe in executing men to show that women are superior. THANK GOD

It depends on if you are going to view it as fiction(which is what is intended).  But, it does make one stop and wonder if any of it is true.  Which would mean that the Catholic Church, and a lot of other important folks have kept a lot of truths from all of us for many years.  And why would they do that?  Check out the book"Demons and Angels", by Dan Brown.

I go to a church where they cast out demons. It's called a "deliverance ministry". Just last week, there was a woman there, who had about 12 different demons expelled from her.  I think maybe people have been desensitized to the reality of demonic spirits by all the horror movies they've seen over the years.  They've come to believe that they're just a part of sensationalized fiction, rather then reality.  But in fact, there are probably thousands of people in America right now, that are possessed by evil spirits, and they don't even know it.  They've opened the doorway to darkness by getting involved in occult practices, such as witchcraft and satanism.  T.V. Shows like "Charmed", have made witchcraft look like harmless fun, when in fact, it is a very dangerous practice.  It's all a part of Satan's plan to destroy the minds of our youth, and send them to hell.  That's because the Devil is already doomed to spend an eternity there, and he wants to take as many young people along with him as he possibly can.

well i know it is a true story i have the movie maybe i should watch it again to refresh my memory i think she gave up her soul to be with the lord when someone is possessed yes you can cast the demons out but they will return with more like the man in the bible who was possessed Jesus ask what is your name the demon said legion for we are many and when he cast them out they went into the heard of swine you can not kill these demons but they will have there place in the lake of fire in the end.\nNow why this happened i really don't know this either but i think the fear in the priest who was performing the exorcist didn't help we are to fear no evil this happens more then people realize and doctors and physic's choose to medicate these people lets give these demons drugs is there answer because they do not believe these demons are real\nThis Girl who is near you if possible that you could organize a prayer walk to walk around this area were she is at and pray for the Holy Spirit and Rebuke these demons and devils in the name of Jesus Christ command them to leave it may take fasting the disciples went to cast out demons they would not leave Jesus told them this Kind requires fasting demons are real and the cause all kinds of sickness yes God gave us doctors but the greatest doctor is doctor Jesus by his stripes we were healed \nGod Bless you Always

I believe that you are right the serpent that spoke to Eve was Satan. I also believe what it says here:\n\n John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.\n\nWell that says it all to me. He's a liar. So he lied to her.

I do know a bit about it.  My friends and I have studied the paranormal for a while.  Electronic Voice Phenomenon, more commonly called EVP, is a paranormal phenomenon in which you hear a voice of someone who wasn't there during the time a recording was made.  Many people say it's proof of an afterlife or spirits.  There are a wide variety of opinions on the issue and many frauds.  Occassionally it can the wind or something else in the back ground making something a noise, and people want it to be something other than what it actually was.  Now I am sure that there are a few in which something is talking that wasn't there, but many times people make fakes.  Try doing a search on ghosts or the paranormal pretty much any website you pull up will have stuff on EVPs.

I am always looking for a "johnny blaze" question.  They are always unique and thought provoking.  I highly recommend that you read "Memnoch The Devil", by Anne Rice.  While I would never suggest that such an important question as this be answered by a popular novel, this book does explore your inquiry.  Like Anne Rice, I had a young child die.  During the intitial phases of my devastation, I read this book.  To me, Ms. Rice completely explained the whole God-Devil relationship and even how God can let someone's kid die...after he saw his own child's death.  Keep up the questions...they are awesome.

I have seen the movie The Haunted and read some articles abou the Smurl case, but outside of that I haven't really studied the case in depth.  My reasons for this are varied, but it is largely because I personally do not believe in demons (some members of BCPR may think differently).  I am actually immediately skeptical of any demonology case because of this.  I do believe that ghosts (whatever they are) can be "bad" or evil, though.\n\nBut to the point, I honestly can't say whether the haunting was real or not.\n\nThere are several issues that make it hard for me to determine if the validity of the Smurl's case:\n\n1.  I have never been able to talk one on one with someone involved with the case.\n\n2.  Once the media becomes involved in a case things get out of hand very quickly.  Unfortunately, the media and movie industry has a tendency to take a story and run with it.  Sometimes the finished product can differ widely from the actual course of events.\n\n3.  Eyewitness testimony is notoriously fickle.  Psychological studies have suggested that people can be lead into believing they saw or experienced something they didn't.  I am not suggesting that this happened in the Smurl case, but it can't be removed from the list of possibilities.\n\n4.  Based upon my limited knowledge, the approach to the case did not seem to be largely scientific.  This could be because the Smurl's belief of what was going on was probably based largely on their religious beliefs.  Often in these types of cases faith trumps science.\n\n5.  I don't know if other causes outside of an actual haunting or demon were considered.  There are several "natural" causes for ghost and haunting activity that should be systematically ruled out.\n\n\nJaime\nPresident, BCPR

These are the names of the cuts from the soundtrack. The composer is Christopher Young.(Search IMDB for his other scores.)\n\nFrom what I can find, the song you're interested in is probably "Emily Rose," as it is used repeatedly to highlight her. I spent about an hour looking, and this is the best I could come up with.\n\n1. Prologue  \n2. Emily Rose  \n3. The Suffering Begins  \n4. Interlude 1  \n5. First Possession  \n6. Second Possession  \n7. Third Possession  \n8. Interlude 2  \n9. The Exorcism  \n10. Six Demons  \n11. Interlude 3  \n12. A Vision Of The Virgin Mary  \n13. Martyrdom  \n14. For Anneliese Michel
