Anyone know who that new movie "the Exorcism of Emily Rose is based on?

I don't like horror movies, and I especially don't like movies about supposed "Exorcisms" (which I also don't believe in).

Most likely, the girl had schizophrenia, but does anyone know who this "Based on a true Story" movie is based on?

There's a good history at this link. She had a diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy, which was thought to influence her psychoses.

They say people who have that often think they see and hear God.

It amazes me that someone would exploit such a tragic story.:grr:

But I guess it's the times we are living in.

Exorcism can be very abuisive and it can kill.

I have PSTD from "excorcisms" performed by a pervert when I was a kid. Don't trust these people.
Dissociation can cause a person to appear demonic when really thier internal defenders are doing thier job protecting the person from abuse.

Many people fear possession by demons, but the exorcists themselves can cause great damage.

Exorcism has caused a number of real-world tragedies over the years, including several deaths.

Pentecostal ministers in San Francisco pummeled a woman to death in 1995, as they tried to drive out her demons.

In 1997, a Korean Christian woman was stomped to death in Glendale, Calif., and in the Bronx section of New York City, a 5-year-old girl died after being forced to swallow a mixture containing ammonia and vinegar and having her mouth taped shut.

In 1998, a 17-year-old girl in Sayville, N.Y., was suffocated by her mother with a plastic bag, in an effort to destroy a demon inside her.

In 2001, a 37-year old woman, Joanna Lee, was strangled to death in an exorcism by a Korean church minister working in New Zealand. The minister, Luke Lee, was found guilty of manslaughter
