I was reading those comments in the youtube video and some people said she was suffering with severe mental illness. But that's not what mental illness would do, you don't just suddenly become fluent in speaking ancient languages you know nothing about prior to it. That's too abnormal and irrational to be labeled as "mental illness". And yes, having multiple vocal chords is one of them. There's a difference between being batshit crazy and being a completely different in an instant with changes in physical features such as eyes suddenly turn black and skin being suddenly pale.
The signs of the changes can be overlooked and it's usually too late to notice that there's anything wrong with a person.

That's the part that always got to me too. I have no doubt that many of instances of "demonic possession" are things that we, today, have come to understand are forms of mental illness.
But when I watched this, it was incredible to actually hear the recordings. I know the parents got blamed for not feeding her or going to a strictly medical route, but thing is, they did do that. And it didn't work, and she got worse.
You can hear in those recordings multiple voices at once, and as you said, the thing about her being able to speak in multiple languages including dead languages is just inexplicable.

I remember the movie playing the parts the same way. I remember one woman explained that certain medicine would make Rose's condition basically permanent and incurable, rendering the priest's ability useless in the exorcism. I saw the pictures of her being covered in bruises and looking gaunt, which was pretty upsetting. It's tragic how it ended for her. This part of documentary just stated that exorcism and modern medicine don't mix very well.
Some of the recordings are pretty creepy, but interesting. And I like how they can present pieces of evidence that there are indeed supernatural elements among us and we don't know it.
Of course, there will always be those who doesn't believe in supernatural. They'd claim there are rational explanations behind everything, being a realist.
And I'm a hybrid of realist and spiritualist. I don't automatically believe the supernatural unless it's proven not to be fake and set up for attention.

I'm the same way. I believe in both. I have a strong belief in science and medicine, and my initial reaction is always that there are logical explanations. I do not automatically jump to something being supernatural or have a mystical side to it.
Sometimes it's a matter of palliative care, and if a patient believes themselves to be inhabited by a demon, the "exorcism" is simply a method that will work for them in a way that feels right to them.
However, I do think there are things out there we've yet to tap into, and I do believe we can open ourselves up to darker forces.

Have you ever seen ghosts or demons or experience poltergeist at your house?
I remember if the doctors come to the conclusion that the patients are indeed inhabited by a demon, they would suggest call the exorcist. Of course, that depends on the hospital. Because the exorcist is another form of a witch doctor, depending on their perspective. Who knows.
However, I do think there are things out there we've yet to tap into, and I do believe we can open ourselves up to darker forces.
Yesssss.
Perhaps if we can perform some sort of witchcraft on this board, people might go hysterical over it.

Yes, I've had some inexplicable things happen to me, or around me, but nothing like a possession or poltergeist or any of that sort of stuff. However, I've got an extensive list of "oddities" that have always surrounded me, and my Nana experienced the same thing, but only around certain things.
I still will believe this to my dying day, but while watching something on TV that was about troubled kids I think, so often you could tell at least one factor was poor parenting, or kids that had troubles that required special attention and care above and beyond that of "regular" little children.
This one mother, exasperated, had a young son. This little boy (I'm not familiar with children at all so I cannot guess or remember the age, but he was pretty young), had the most bizarre fits where he got extremely strong and his voice changed to growling, and he'd viciously attack his mother, beating her up, being able to knock her down and really hurt her. It was as if he not only had superhuman strength, but his entire demeanor would rapidly change as did his voice.
That was the one and only time that I saw a kid (and it was only on TV so who knows) where I thought something is really wrong here, and I don't think it's a medical issue. You'd have to understand how very remarkable his actions were, especially for such a small kid.

Alright, I'll give you a couple of basics:
is a sign language
So is this
Teasing aside, I grew up learning the sign language but I stopped using them for about 15 years because I keep preferring verbal communication because not many people know ASL. Plus, I suck at phone call so I also prefer text/emails. When someone calls me, I just sit here, let it ring then I'd text "Hi, how may I help you?" or something like that.
Learning ASL is not difficult, but there are some long sequences, though and it takes a while.
