About this episode

In 1949, a 13-year-old Maryland boy named Ronald Hunkeler underwent a series of harrowing exorcisms that would inspire the film The Exorcist. Decades later, a young German woman named Anneliese Michel died after enduring 67 exorcism rituals over ten months, a tragedy that led to criminal convictions and became the basis for The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Finally, meet Father Gary Thomas, one of fewer than 175 trained exorcists in the United States, whose Vatican apprenticeship inspired The Rite.
