The Real Emily Rose

A polished film version of happenings in a small Bavarian town nearly 30 years ago has re-opened barely healed wounds.

Citizens of the beautiful wine-growing community of Klingenberg go about their business, ignoring as best they can the pilgrims who turn up by the coachload at the churchyard where Anneliese Michel's grave is marked by a white cross. The inscription reads that she "sleeps with God" - but there has been little rest for the townspeople since her death in July 1976. The film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, is based on her fate and has drawn a new generation of visitors - spiritual, religious and curious - to her grave. Every month up to five bucketfuls of soil have to be replaced as handfuls are taken as souvenirs. Looking down over the graveyard is an old woman who rarely leaves her window spot during daylight. It is Ms Michel's mother, Anna, now 85, who, along with her late husband, was given a six-month suspended jail sentence for her part in the exorcism and ultimate death of her daughter.

"Are you Catholic?" are the first words that Mrs Michel asks visitors who knock on her door. "Go and look at her grave if you want answers. I have none. She was a lovely child and the devil took her." Christina Metzer, of the local tourist office, does not welcome the influx of visitors. She said: "Everyone is aware of what took place but it was pushed to the back of our consciousness. Now it is all bubbling up again."
