In light of the new The Conjuring movie soon to hit cinemas around the world, I can't keep wondering what, if amything is true about their investigations. Is everything a hoax? Is there some truth?
Do you guys think Ed and Lorraine Warren are kind of like Sam and Dean?
I think they’re catholic right? I swear I saw people say they were frauds but they seemed so sincere and they’ve worked on so many “cases”. I thought of this ahead of my tickets for the new conjuring movie. Anyways it will be nice to see if any of you can offer your viewpoints about them
Whenever their names come up in one of the boys' podcasts, they have very colorful words to describe them and Marcus particularly reams the shit out of them. Did they ever do a podcast on them specifically? Or cover a story where they were inherintly involved? Everytime the Warren's come up they blast the fuck out of them and then VERY quickly move on, I'm interested to hear their full thoughts and views on them xD
My mother went to Eastern Washington University and stayed in one of the houses the locals rented out to college students. I can not give the exact age of the house but it was old enough to have a built-in button on the floor that would call up to the servants in the attic so the house was relatively old. During her studies there she had three different roommates, my uncle was the first who then was replaced by my mother's close friend who was replaced by my father. All three of them can confirm change happenings in this house and be woken up in the middle of the night with people whispering, the worst of it was in my mother's room and the attic.
My mother hated that house but she didn't have anywhere else to live and the dorms were expensive so she sucked it up and lived there until she graduated. She hated sleeping alone, the air in her room constantly felt thick and heavy, her closet was constantly freezing cold and at night she would hear multiple people whispering incoherent words at once. While living there my mother had a cat named Puss who would constantly hide under the bed, one time my mother caught Puss out from under her bed, sitting, watching, and growling at one of the corners of the room. My mother went over to Puss confused at what she was looking at until she saw a black figure in the corner slowly start to move upwards toward the ceiling. Puss started to become more aggressive, her hissing and growling getting louder before she freaked out and shot off back under the bed, still growling at the corner until the black figure was gone. My mother had never seen Puss act like this since Puss was usually a very loving and happy cat but whatever that was clearly terrified her cat.
Sometime later my mother was talking with a friend who was excited to be touring two famous paranormal investigators around the college and town, showing them supposed haunted places. My mother brought up the fact that she has always had weird stuff happening in her house and thinks it may be haunted, her friend got excited and begged her to let him bring them to her house, my mother refused since she wasn't willing to stay up late for some people that she doesn't even know. My mother didn't know at the time who these investigators were since she never really kept up with paranormal stuff, believing it can let evil into your life, she only knew that they were on quite a few popular talk shows at the time. These two investigators were Ed and Lorraine Warrens.

I know many people think they where frauds and yes there are legit paranormal investigators out there who who find REAL stuff but do fake SOME stuff for excitement but as you all or some of you may know The Conjuring movie was made to have a happy ending but the REAL case did not end happily, in fact Ed Warren was punched by the husband because I believe the Seance was it? went wrong and the Spirit of the Witch or whoever went after the wife and threw her into another room and Ed and Lorraine where then kicked out of the house and never set foot back in there.
Now yes they could have said this happened to make them seem more legit BUT I firmly believe they where legit and did encounter this stuff, I know anyone could make this up for multiple reasons but I firmly believe this case proves they where legit, something went wrong and they where not successful in removing the Spirit and in-turn they where kicked out and Ed was punched.
Conjuring 3’s trailer just came out and i was curious if there are podcast/s about Ed and Lorraine’s cases? Thanks!
Since Netflix kept recommending me to watch The Conjuring 1 and 2, and since I love those movies, I watched them again and then looked up the books written by Ed and Lorraine Warren. They are not available at my library, shocker, but I saw them on Google Play Books and was wondering if anyone had read them. What did you think if you have? Are they Worth it?
Title of some of their books: Graveyard - Ghost Hunters - In a Dark Place - Satan's Harvest
Thanks, have a good one!
I am intrigued and wondering if there are any decent books on the Warrens? I know there are divided opinions about them but I find it all very interesting and would love to read up and make some conclusions myself!
Probably one of the more under read anthologies of all time, considering nearly every book in the series is by a different author, in collaboration with Ed himself.
Of course they’re well hated people, said to be frauds, there’s skeptics, and there’s even some low reviews because the books occasionally mention accepting God (I mean, these are Catholic demonologists allegedly dealing with poltergeists and possession, so. It’s a given. From what I’ve read thus far, it hasn’t lasted more than a page each.)
A few years before the movies had come out, when I was around 15, I just so happened to have a hard copy of The Haunted: One Family’s Nightmare, which followed the Smurl family and their haunted duplex, where even the neighbors had complaints of scary happenings. Being the hardback, it had several pictures of the family, the rooms, or even objects in question, bruises, scratches, etc, throughout the book, and that certainly added to the thrill.
It’s written in both an auto / and biographical, and I think those are the greatest stories of all when it comes to paranormal horror. From memory, a lot of it is also in an interview setting with each individual person as well. Even as a skeptic, it reads better without the over exaggerations of being afraid of the dark, and the cliche grotesque nightmares that we’ve all read. There’s “realism,” behind it.
I digress. My dad was a horror fan. All the movies, all the books. Just to put that out there that father o’mine buying me Chucky dolls, by 15, I was quite desensitized to it all. But not these stories.
I read The Haunted, and it freaked me the fuck out. Actual lights on, running through hallways, gave me nightmares and sleep paralysis type of fear. Like — wouldn’t stay home alone fear. Usually when I have a book in my hands, I slightly refuse to put it down until I finish it, or I’m too tired to carry on. These are the first books where I’d force myself to shut it early. Even if I hadn’t finished a chapter, or even a paragraph. I’d put it down, and have internal conflict on even opening it the following day. Or if I wanted to finish it at all. Even after finishing it, I dealt with feeling cold and watched, and it lasted for weeks.
I lent it to a friend, and of course, never saw it again. And while teenagers likely scare easily and I can’t remember that particular book verbatim, I can still remember the feeling it gave me, and I relive it every time I think about the book, even now, in my early 20s
... keep reading on reddit ➡In an interview with Ed and Lorraine, they claimed how people would enter their cursed museum and make fun of the Annabelle doll and later on get killed in some way yet they never mentioned any names or provided proof that they even as much as existed, at least not to my knowledge but I have tried to dig as much as I can for some explanation yet I haven’t found anything whatsoever, so I guess I was just wondering if anyone could find some explanation to the question here.
- Both are male-female teams of investigators who looked into supernatural phenomena.
- Like the Warrens, Mulder is from New England.
- Also like the Warrens, Scully is Catholic.
Potential lines from the Warrens could be boasting about the success of the Amityville and Conjuring franchises, and could dismiss Mulder and Scully by noting (supposed) problems with The X-Files (as well as the latter being fictional characters).
Potential lines from Mulder and Scully could be disses about how in their world, the supernatural is real, whereas the Warrens' cases might not be real.
Edit: Also, the beat can incorporate the famous X-Files theme, at least for Mulder and Scully's verses.
I’m in the camp that they believed in what they were doing and were sincerely interested in helping people. That being said, I’ve never knowingly ever had any direct experience with demons or ghosts/spirits.

Hi, new to the horror lit community! Has anyone ready and books by or about Ed and Lorraine Warren and are they worth the read? I enjoy nonfiction, and use that loosely depending whether what they did was real or not! Either way, I would love some recommendations about them or written by them. I’m also curious about other books that are nonfiction haunting books. I don’t really know where to start as for finding books like these.
Thanks!
