The Possession Files : A Portrait of Annelise Michel
Episode 1
Friday, 2 January, 2026
The Possession Files is a Red Treehouse exclusive series, where we go in-depth on the most harrowing--and often tragic--stories of alleged demonic possession. In season 1, we're going to explore one of the most well-known cases: Anneliese Michel. So often, the story of Anneliese Michel begins at the end of her life and tracks backwards; and the heartbreaking pictures and bone-chilling audio clips of her alleged possession and subsequent exorcisms often take center stage. Yet, this feels wrong. Because Anneliese was a young woman with hopes, dreams, and plans for the future--even amidst the agony and suffering she experienced. And as we grapple with what happened to her, it’s important to ask, “who was Anneliese Michel?” The answers will give invaluable insight into every aspect of her story; and rather than fill in the blanks with conjecture, sensationalism, and assumption, we should let Anneliese speak for herself. In this episode of The Possession Files, we’re going to paint a portrait of Anneliese Michel—her childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood—and hopefully gain a better understanding of who she was, so that we can better grasp what happened to her. I’m your host, Will. Together, let’s explore The Possession Files: The Trials of Anneliese Michel.
