The speaker shares three horror stories, starting with the case of Anne-Lise Michel, a young German girl who claimed to be possessed by demons. Despite her family's religious beliefs and her initial improvement after leaving a psychiatric hospital, she relapsed and exhibited self-destructive behavior. She spoke of seeing demonic faces and hearing voices, and her condition worsened after she stopped taking her medications. A priest persuaded the church to perform an exorcism, which further distressed Anne-Lise. She died in 1976, and a subsequent trial accused her parents and the priests of negligence, leading to a six-month prison sentence on probation.
The second story revolves around Robert the Doll, a toy given to a young boy named Eugene Otto. The doll communicated with Eugene and caused disturbances in the house. After Eugene's parents died, the doll remained in the house, and it was later discovered that it had moved to the attic. The family who moved into the house later reported that their daughter started to communicate with the doll.
The final story is about Peggy Hodgson, who lived in Enfield, England, with her four children. They experienced numerous unexplained phenomena, including furniture moving, knocks from the walls, and objects disappearing and reappearing. Peggy called the police, and when they arrived, they heard the knocks. George Falloz, a paranormal investigator, was called in to investigate, but he was unable to explain the phenomena. The story is from the movie "Conjuring 2" and is considered one of the most documented cases of poltergeist activity.
