Anna Ecklund was a pseudonym for Emma Schmidt (born March 23, 1882), an American woman whose alleged demonic possession and exorcism occurred over several decades, culminating in an extensive exorcism that lasted from August 18 to December 23, 1928 in Earling, Iowa.
Ecklund was said to have exhibited symptoms akin to possession beginning at age fourteen, and was forty six-years-old during her final exorcism by Father Theophilus Riesinger, a German Roman Catholic priest. Ecklund's case is considered by theology and paranormal scholars to be one of the most abundantly documented cases of possession in the 20th century, including a profile in a 1936 issue of Time magazine.
