Chapter 32 - The Exorcism of Anna Ecklund
https://linktr.ee/insidiousagendapodcast

Hello Hello!

Here were are, finally! The long awaited return to all things spooky and Paranormal. Our first true spooky episode since the Haunting in Connecticut episode just over a month ago. This one isn't to be missed! Regarded as possibly the most exciting exorcism in human history, this is the Exorcism of Anna Ecklund. A woman who suffered demonic possession for almost 40 years in the earlier half of the 20th century. 

From the time she was 14 until she was 54, Emma Schmidt (Anna Ecklund's true name) played host to a multitude of demons - two of which, were family members! I know, it's as bad as it sounds, trust me. In this episode you'll hear about Anna's tragic teenage years, specifically how rough her home life was after the death of her mother. Then, her struggles with the restriction from her faith due to the possession and the enduring of many exorcisms over a 17 year period. 

This one is truly frightening, so those who listen with children or younger kids I highly recommend you use discretion here. There are conversations read between the Exorcist and the Demons (yes, using a demonic voice - because I like to do that). It may frighten them even more so, just fair warning.

Outside of that I have a lot of awesome things coming your way in March. To give you the schedule in advance (for those who read the show notes) here you go:

March 7th: ALIEN - Close Encounters (Types and Stories)
March 14th: FOLKLORE APPENDICES - The Dark Tales of Ireland (St. Patick's Day week)
March 21st: HAUNTED HOUSES - The LaLaurie Mansion and The Winchester
March 28th: Potential Guest Interview - TBD

I hope you really enjoy listening to this episode. It's a beautifully tragic tale of one woman's fight against her inner demons (literally). 

I'll talk to you again next week and as always, thanks for coming back to listen and for choosing the Insidious Agenda Podcast. It always means the world to me :)
