if you've seen any big horror films in the last 45 years you've probably seen a horror film that the warrs are in some way associated with its real life story The Haunting in Connecticut many of The Conjuring films The Amityville Horror just to name a few Ed Warren a self-described demonologist and Lorraine Warren a trance medium have both cumulatively investigated thousands of supposed hauntings over the years but who really are these people both originally from Connecticut Ed met Lorraine when he was 16 working as an usher at the Colonial Theater in Bridgeport Connecticut when Ed turned 17 he enlisted in the US Navy where he was quickly deployed within months of attending boot camp at some point when he was overseas disaster struck and his ship sank in the North Atlantic after that event Ed returned State Side on a 30-day survivors leave where he married Lorraine around six years later after Ed's Service in World War II Ed started attending Perry Art School a subsidiary of Yale from which he learned to paint Ed would mostly paint haunted houses that he would see in Connecticut in 1952 as an effort to make some cash off of Ed's Talent he would go on to sell these paintings at popup stands all over New England going even further than just painting the haunted houses Ed would go up to the homeowner after he's finished painting and ask if anything had happened there in order to be invited in to investigate I was five where we lived we had an old spinster land lady who didn't like dogs or kids well about a year after she died I was upstairs in the same house taking off my play shoes the sun was going down and the room was getting dark as I sat there on the floor the closet door opened all by itself inside the dark Clos closet I saw a DOT of light about the size of a firefly in a few seconds the light grew to human length and then incredibly The Apparition of the land lady stood before me she was frowning as usual just like she looked in life then she vanished Ed founded the group The New England society for psychic research in 1952 in the group's more than 50 years of existence it has investigated thousands of hauntings so now let's go through their most popular cases just a heads up while the worms are not the only players directly influencing each case they do end up playing a unique part in documenting these cases which helps spur their career growth allows them to profit off of them so keep that in mind while listening in 1970 a mother bought an antique raggedy and doll as a birthday gift for her daughter Donna was about to graduate from college in nursing soon they noticed strange occurrences with the doll it began to move on its own first in some small ways but later the doll would be found in different rooms sometimes with its arms or legs crossed or even standing upright things escalated when Donna and Angie Donna's roommate discovered notes written on paper saying help us and help Lou in handwriting that looked like it was written by a child shortly after Donna and Angie sought help from a medium who conducted a seance the medium revealed that the doll was possessed by the spirit of Annabelle Higgins a young girl who had died on the property where their apartment now stands later Donna introduced the doll to a friend named Lou Who after being around it believed the doll could be an evil force it was not longer after this Revelation that Lou experienced a terrifying night when he woke up unable to move feeling the doll Annabelle slowly climbing up his body and then finally strangling him until he blacked out L's next encounter with Annabelle was even more alarming while he and Angie were alone in the apartment they heard strange noises coming from Donna's room when Lou investigated he found the doll tossed on the floor as he approached it he felt a presence behind him and suddenly he was attacked leaving him with a claw mark on his chest finally convinced that the spirit in the doll was not a harmless child Donna sought help from an Episcopal priest father hegan he contacted higher authorities who in turn brought in Ed and Lorraine Warren after speaking with Donna Angie and Lou the Warren concluded that the doll was not possessed but was being manipulated by a demonic Spirit at Donna's request the Warren took the doll with them to prevent further occurrences Ed Warren wary of the possibility that the spirit might still be attached to the doll decided to avoid the interstate on their drive home and their car began to swerve and stall dangerously at every curve after arriving home the Warren placed Annabelle inside a specially built case in their ult Museum after hearing Ed Warren's account of the doll a young man banged on Annabelle's case on their way home he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a tree killing him instantly par and family The Conjuring in January 1971 Carolyn and Roger parin and their five girls moved into a 14 room farmhouse in Harrisville Rhode Island where they quickly began experiencing strange occurrences the first day they moved in Andrea and her sisters noticed a man in the room who was allegedly not with Mr Kenyan Mr Kenyan being the previous owner of the house Andrea asked her mom Carolyn mom who is that man over there she replied there's no man in the other room the man then disappeared Carolyn paren and her children noticed small and settling events like hearing movement in rooms where no one was present a broom moving on its own performing housework for the family beds shaking and moving toys or objects appearing in different places there's also some more unbelievable occurrences like a cylindrical tube of light naturally coming from the chimney bending on a hard turn which would then direct itself onto carolynn's stomach burning her haunted bats and haunted flies and then noises like those of a Revolutionary War era horns calling soldiers to battle most notably Carolyn and her children have seen horrible apparitions of a woman with a broken neck and a lack of facial features and smelling horribly the first time this occurred to Caroline the woman appeared floating above her where she felt paralyzed and unable to move in bed Andrea had her appeared to her in a dream where she saw her mom Caroline and the ghastly woman but couldn't move near her a family friend reportedly saw The Apparition of the broken neck lady as she was driving away after visiting with the family The Apparition is a constant force within the family's home is beli believed to be the most malevolent Spirit of the house her name is ba Sheba Sherman and was rumored to have been a Satanist involved in a child's death one big Apparition involved Carolyn waking up seeing this baath Sheba Sherman performing some sacrificial ritual in a coven with several other witches during the 10 years the family lived in the house the Warren made a few visits to investigate the Paranormal Activity on one occasion in 1973 line Warren conducted a seance to communicate with the spirits tormenting the family the Warren believed that Carolyn was possessed and that a seance was the right course of action in order to rid themselves of the demon during the Seance Caroline parin allegedly became possessed speaking in an otherworldly language levitating in her chair where she was then thrown across the way into another room following the Seance the family endured many more hauntings throughout the years but remained in the house due to financial troubles until they were able to finally vacate in 1980 Amityville on November 13th 1974 police officers found six members of the Deo family dead from gunshots to the head in their home Ronald Deo Jr the obvious suspect denied the allegations at first but later confessed after police found the murder weapon he was convicted of the murders and sentenced to six consecutive life terms on December 18th 1975 the Lutz family George Kathy the husband and wife and Missy Christopher and Daniel the kids moved into the former Deo home in amville just 13 months after the infamous murders on their first day a Catholic priest arrived to bless the Home Father manuso when father manuso started throwing holy water in the bedroom once occupied by Mark and John defo he heard an unseen masculine voice command get out he quickly left but on the way home from his Drive manuso found his car driving off the road despite him keeping straight on the road the hood suddenly flew open breaking the windshield car then stalled around a week later father manuso would then allegedly develop a high fever flu like symptoms and blisters on his hands similar to the Stigmata despite the priest blessing the house the family experienced strange Sensations their daughter Missy started spending all of her time with an imaginary friend named Jodie a red-eyed Pig this same pig is seen by George later from Missy's window outside in another time tracks of clo and Footprints are observed by George outside in the snow windows are constantly being forced open open on their own as well as doors flying open Out of Nowhere the house also became plagued by mysterious odors that smell like human excrement and green slime oozed from the walls Kathy particularly experienced several entities she first felt the touch of a woman entity first on her hand and another time it would hug her tightly and then a third time she was touched by multiple ghostly figures causing her to pass out other times people would see hooded figures and an apparition of a little boy George repeatedly woke up at 3:15 a.m. the time of the Deo murders some of these nights he would hear stomping sounds like soldiers marching George once saw Kathy transform into a 90-year-old woman and other nights he saw her levitate above the bed allegedly one possible cause of the hauntings was because of a man named John Ketchum who used to live within 500 feet of the Lutz's house and apparently was into devil worship The Story Goes is that he was actually forced out of Salem Massachusetts because he was accused of Witchcraft the final night in the house was the most terrifying both George and Cathy's Health deteriorated intentions within the family Rose unable to deal with it anymore the Lutz family fled the house soon after the Lutz family left Lorraine and Ed Warren arrived in their place to begin their own investigations in addition to the warrant mediums investigators and parapsychologists simultaneously investigated the house the research team photographed the little boy entity as he was watching them move about the house during the investigation Ed felt like he had been forced to the floor while praying in the basement lra felt like there was a demonic entity in the house the shinicock Indians who once had enclosure on this land used to house the sick and the Mad who were there Left To Die the Warren believ that suffering associated with the property left with a very negative energy making it a magnet for demonic spirits Arie Johnson the devil made me do it in 1980 11-year-old David glatzel began experiencing strange and frightening phenomenon when David glatzel was helping his sister move into her new home he witnessed The Apparition of a see-through old man who pushed him onto a bed soon after these initial sightings David's Behavior changed dramatically he would wake up in the middle of the night shouting and screaming he reportedly would feel choking Sensations and wried in pain from invisible knife stabs there was instances of plates floating and chairs flying through the air and objects like books being found in different places Debbie the eldest daughter and the one who was dating Arie Johnson also reportedly would see The Apparition of the man who the family dubbed the Beast I saw a face with Jagged teeth and cold black eyes it had horns and pointed ears David pointed out that his feet were deer-like or clo the family would eventually seek help from priests in order to exercise the demons haunting the boy and the family the priest had performed a blessing of the house and reading of prayers because no official exorcism was authorized by the dioses David continued to suffer eventually the priest recommended the Warren when the Warren arrived they did a medical examination and a question examination which they recorded They concluded that the boy was obsessed and possibly on his way to possession the Warren petitioned the local diois for an exorcism during these exorcisms Lorraine claims that David levitated and even showed Supernatural precognition particularly regarding the manslaughter that Johnson would eventually commit Arie Johnson who was present allegedly taunted the demon to leave David and enter him instead according to the Warren the demon left David and possessed Arie on February 16th 1981 Arie Johnson and Alan Bono his landlord got into a heated argument during the altercation Johnson stabbed Bono multiple times with a pocket knife leading to Bono's death Johnson was arrested for the murder and the case quickly gained media attention Johnson's defense attorney Martin manella argued that Johnson was not responsible for his actions because he was possessed by a demon at the time of the murder the defense intended to prove The Possession by bringing in experts on the Paranormal including the Warren however the judge Robert Callahan rejected The Possession defense Arie Johnson was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter in November 1981 he was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison but only served five before being released for good behavior the snader family The Haunting in Connecticut in the 1980s the snader family consisting of parents Carmen and Al Nader and their children moved into a r house in Southington Connecticut unaware that the house had once been a funeral home soon after moving in the family claimed to experience disturbing paranormal phenomenon some of the reported incidents included apparitions and shadowy figures objects moving on their own foul odors and the feeling of being touched by unseen entities so The Usual Suspects at one point Carmen and Al both both claimed to have been sexually assaulted by a paranormal entity the oldest son Phillip who was undergoing treatment for hodkin's lymphoma at the time would see a young man with long black hair all the way down to his hips Philip eventually started having personality changes where he would become irritable and rageful he would start picking on his younger siblings as a result at one point Philip assaulted Tammy his cousin which resulted in his involuntary stay at a hospital where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia allegedly the snader family sent Philip to live with relatives once he was released from the hospital where the voices and Spirits ceased to be seen however the worst was not over for the family because the hauntings continued in the house after the family became so desperate they didn't know where else to turn to they contacted Ed and in the rain asking for help in investigating their home the Warren declared the house itself to be possessed and then asked a priest to bless the house and later exercise the home eventually the exorcism succeeded and the demons were delivered from the [Music] home so now let's go ahead and talk about what's wrong with each of these stories both individually and as a group we will start with Annabelle the cursed doll but first let's talk about a different set of supposedly cursed possessed objects or however you want to view them Ed Warren gives a Ford in one of the earliest books about his and Lorraine's career with ghosts and demons the book Deliver Us from Evil from the Case Files of edin Lorraine Warren specifically in this forward Ed mentions multiple things that are wrong about supposed Egyptian cursed objects You' have probably heard some version of the story where some Silly Billy archaeologist mistakenly stupidly opens up the tomb of some ancient king of Egypt only to shortly thereafter die from mysterious circumstances I'm not going to go into every instance where this ends up being mostly not true instead I'll focus on what Ed says for example in this forward Ed makes a point about Britain's most famous egyptologist Professor Walter Brian Emery except Ed mistakenly misspells the name as Amory Ed further goes on to explain that emry was warned not to pick up the statue of Osiris for fear of being cursed Ed says that emmer laughed at this claim picked it up anyway and within seconds his eyes rolled through the back of his head and he went into a coma to which she never awakened from Ed further goes on to say that emry was perfectly healthy before going on to this Expedition however most of what he's saying is not true not only had emry had reportedly been in ill health for several years he never picked up the statue to begin with OR went into a coma in Excavating in Egypt the Egypt exploration Society 1882 to 1982 there are blurs about Emory's Health in the way in which he died in 1964 emry returned to Sakara to direct the society's work in the area just described and work continued until his death in 1971 the present writer was privileged to be a member of the team every year except 1969 and had firsthand experience of emy's unflagging enthusiasm for the arous work despite ill health and sunry setbacks in journals of Egyptian archaeology volume 57 it also details Emory's poor health in November 1967 after 2 years of indifferent Health he underwent a very serious surgical operation 6 weeks later straight from convalescence he returned to Sakara Emory was in constant pain to which he would not confess he carried on his full responsibilities as field director few realized that when on the mile returned walk over rough desert he stopped he was not simply admiring The View by the summer 1970 he had made a remarkable recovery he went out to SAR in October in the best of spirits which he maintained through a long season on Sunday March 7th 1971 a few days before the scheduled end of work he was found after morning's work collapsed outside his office in Camp he was taken to the anglo-american hospital in Cairo where he appeared to be recovering but on the evening of March 9th he suffered a second stroke no mention of coma no mention of anyone working with him warning not to touch a statue of Osiris it's a complete fabrication and he was clearly not in perfect health since he was dealing with his health for a few years now although to be fair it does not mention what the problem is exactly there was the mention of a serious surgical operation so what does this have to do with Annabel well I think simply most of the story is ridiculous are we led to believe that a doll is attempting to kill people Chucky Style by Army crawling up the bed and then psychically restricting their breathing are we supposed to seriously believe that this possessed doll was able to allegedly write anything down on a piece of paper ridiculous are we also led to believe that the doll is somehow binding its evil powers or evil spirits by a simple pain of glass ridiculous if demons are real a painel of class is not going to prevent the spirit from escaping the doll because they live in a separate realm from us anyways they can teleport or travel anywhere at a moment's notice and there wasn't a priest or clergy member to bless the outside of the box trapping the demon in the Box are we really going to believe that a demon whose I guess goal is to possess a human or lead them to evil will just inhabit a doll with no real usefulness it's ridiculous by the way I can't find anything about a motorcycle crash now on to the Parn family that depicted in the first Conjuring movie I read Andrea perin's 500 Page House of Darkness House of light volume one book I did not attempt the others it's a dense 500 pages with lots of filler additionally there's plenty of quotes by random famous intellectual figures or writers which are sometimes like funny or ironic in fact she quotes Carl Sean multiple times despite Sean clearly being a skeptic himself overall the book written as a piece of fiction is not a terrible story it just needs to be cut down and I only skim through the other two just to get some context for the Warren's visit which ended up being kind of unnecessary anyways the big problem with this book though more than anything is that it was written nearly 40 years after the alleged hauntings were occurring the other problem is I would have much like to see the Warren's Case Files on the family but their own writings on the website is very sparse about the case which is disappointing basically what I'm trying to say is we need an earlier version of of events so it's easier to see what really happened we'll get the aversion events that are closest reality but instead I'm left with Andrea peron's ramblings which are just obviously not accurate I'm sorry but a cylindrical light making a hard term after coming down at chimney just doesn't happen and housework being done on its own by one of the more gentler ghosts what about the Revolutionary War era ghosts were replicating the battle calls from that time in sha Sherman I'm sure most people know by now that she wasn't a ritualistic Satanist carrying out inocent killings in this way like killing her child Dre writes about The Apparition then she kind of has this like skepticism towards her own Story by acknowledging that that she was acquitted of any murder accusation I mean that is what the witch trials were though accusations of Witchcraft which turned out to be BS 99% of the time I mean if we learned anything from the witch TRS it's that unconventional women are getting blamed for serious crimes when in reality it's the accusers who tend to be abusive Norma Su Clift who lived in The Conjuring house for 25 plus years has never seen or heard anything unusual but what I found interesting is that the historian actually quoted me she said my name and then said that when I was asked I said there is nothing that ever happened here that couldn't been explained by other means and she quoted that and that's how I had always felt and I thought this was also important to tell you it also infuriates us to know that so many people believe this our home still contains evil or demons or believe ghosts even exist here and neither did the family who have lived there before according to investigations done by Jamie Rubio who was in contact with Pam Kenyan the granddaughter of the man who was living at the house before the parents moved in Jamie Rubio writes on her blog Roger claimed in a video taped interview on the first day the owner said do your family a favor keep the lights on at night according to Pam that was not true at all in fact Pam claimed that her grandfather was a practical New Englander and he didn't believe in anything like that she said he had never had any experiences in the house for 47 years he lived there and if he had said anything along the lines of keeping a light on it was because he was an elderly man and had to keep a light on to see at night when he walked down the stairs to go to the bathroom as he could have fallen or broke a bone or Worse Additionally the sisters especially Andrea noticed a man who was in the room besides Mr Canyon when they arrived at the house but when Pam Kenyan was asked about this she described that if anyone else was in the house it was most likely Earl Jr Mr kenyon's son Norma Su Cliffe found Bima Sherman did not kill a child nor was there any evidence that any sort of trial had occurred for Beth Sheba Sherman it was Carolyn perin who created the fictious story about bash Sheba Sherman the question is why did she want or need to make these claims she claimed that bash Sheba had been an honold she was not that she had lived in our home she did not she claimed that Beth Sheba when she was young killed an infant with a KN knitting needle and according to her a hearing was held to see if there was enough evidence to bring her to trial for murder no evidence of the death or of a hearing anywhere has ever been found including the superior court records Carolyn claims the community knew all about it and that the town's people ostracized basiba for actually murdering the infant for sacrifice and a Satanic ritual because she was really a witch that bash Sheba was a had made a pack with the devil well we have the local historian who has spoke to us about this time she never had that encounter nor did she know about any records in the Chacha Historical Society or in town hall that had anything to do with basiba Sherman again it was not the seat of the time bash Sheba was born in 1812 bille was incorporated in 1806 and she did not die by hanging herself on the property but rather by natural causes basiba did not hang herself we have the records basiba died of a stroke in 1885 she had died in her own home of natural causes not only that she never even lived on the property to begin with so why need to fabricate such Tales she claimed extensive research I don't think so what she appear to have done is read the Black Book of bille took any name of Arnold and claim the deaths happened here in our home there has never been a suicide murder or drowning on our property even beyond the parents claimed the Warren and other paranormal groups claim of course that a sudden or violent death is the cause for hauntings well apparently in all the records we went to both in chatet and bille and Douglas and Oxbridge and Providence found no connection to any of these violent deaths in fact if Carolyn believed the black book she would have seen that Bas Sheba was not in the book because she died of natural causes not from hanging herself and no claim of a death of an infant from the knitting needles the black book was a list of unusual deaths in bville since 1797 until 1950s and others were added up until the 1990s Andrea claims that sheep's history was in [ __ ] Pacha it was not Norma also verifies what Pam Kenyan said about the family not experiencing any hauntings on the property parents claimed Mr Kenyan who sold the house to them did not tell them about the hauntings well the Kenyan family has left letters with the historical society and with me that their home that had been in their family for 200 years has not been nor ever has been haunted she married and had four children and when she died she was buried on the family pilot with a funeral service by a Baptist minister to continue the history of bash bashman she did not marry until age 32 to juson Sherman and when she died died the family decided to bury her in the family plot with her first husband with her father and mother her son Herbert outlived her and married and had children of his own he inherited the property we have the Articles referring to her funeral and will and when we found that someone who has had a notorious history is often referred to at the time of the death in the newspapers but no story was written referring to any past notorious history of a bashia IA Sherman her funeral and burial was conducted by ah Granger a Baptist minister of the First Baptist Church of Providence well-renowned Church and also conducted its Ministry for the Harrisville Baptist Church I doubt that the Baptist would have accepted bash Sheba as a parishioner if she had been accused of Witchcraft or murder or an infant uh by Satanic rituals so what does this have to do with the Warren well the rain Warren was part of the push for baath Sheba Sherman being the source of the hauntings when she arrived at the parents Andrea notes this in the book as well furthermore Conjuring film makes bath Sheba Sherman a major plot device in the film from which the secret Warren files are based off of not Andrea perin's Book House of Darkness House of light overall none of it makes sense why did all the haunting Seas when the family left the home and no one else experienced anything why didn't they leave if it was truly exhausting and terrifying as Andrea claims in her book parents did claim some Christianity in the book although they did switch churches a few times wouldn't they know to go see an exorcist or a priest or minister to bless the home or any of them none of that was done instead they just live in this supposed terrifying place where their mother was lifted up up and thrown into another room where a woman with a broken neck and frightening facial features was constantly terrifying them spelling out Omens of Doom the same Apparition who also followed a family friend home nah it's fine this is normal the Amil story parly reads off like an ripoff of The Exorcist you have this priest who gets involved with the story and later starts to get sick and fearful about his life also isn't it weird that Annabelle in addition to the Amityville Horror both have stories of demons driving cars off the road so-called father manuso wasn't a father manuso but a father picaro in a lawsuit filed by George and Cathy leutz the homeowners against William Weber the defense lawyer for Ronald Deo Jr to make a long story short the letes were suing Weber and a few other entities involved because the Lutes and Weber had made a contract for the book so they can write it and sell it the Lutes eventually decided to go with another author though Jay ansen because he gave them a larger cut of the prophets however Weber went ahead without the Lutes and sold their story to a newspaper in a magazine the Lutes did not like this so they sued why am I telling you this because the true story and the facts were revealed during this case during this trial father picaro's relationship to the case was described in an affidavit from William Dy Hut's attorney it states father Ralph J picaro has indicated that his only contact relating to this case was a telephone call from the Lutes regarding their psychic experiences father picaro is also on record saying that he was not sure if there was any Supernatural occurrences at the house the DI AES of Rockville Center made a statement regarding the book in May 2002 when pestered about interviews about the book they stated the diis maintains that the story was a false report in November of 1977 diois attorneys prepared a substantial list to be submitted to the publisher of the Amityville Horror of numerous inaccuracies factually incorrect references and untrue statements regarding events persons and occurrences that never happened additionally no other owners of the house have ever experienced any hauntings after the Luts is moved out similar to what the parents experienced Joe nickel from the skeptical Inquirer found that none of the locks doors hinges and windows were in disarray according to the homeowner Barbara cromarty what about the Ghost Boy photo taken by one of the investigators while Edie and Lorraine were at the house well many online have pointed out there was actually another investigator there by the name of Paul Barts Kenny bid made a video analyzing the investigator Paul Barts and the Ghost Boy the photo appearance Kenny made a point that their appearances don't look like they match Until you realize they have the same hair part and while the clothes don't seem to match either that is Until you realize the film is a special infrared film stock that additionally captures different spectrums of light compared to the normal black and white film essentially giving that photo different Shades of Gray people have been saying that this is the gentleman in in the shot and you know what when you do it side by side like this it really does look like him I actually overlaid it um a similar face especially up here the part of the hair where the hair goes off to the side here it's exactly the same it matches up perfectly and then the straight pattern for the plaid shirt matches up but it's different color like this one is lighter this one is darker so what's going on with that what's going on with that is that there's a difference between the earlier photos that night which was done with regular black and white film and then later on that night when it was set up uh on a timer using infrared film so right here there's a normal camera used up top two pictures so this is uh a color photograph that I use and I took two jackets that I have that have plaid um The Plaid kind of design on it and then I switched to black and white and took a shot not much difference especially with this one on the left but when you see when you go to an IR converted camera and especially when you look the upper here upper here the normal one black and white and this one you can see how it changes from a light uh light colored pattern a more light colored plaid pattern which is what the uh what the code is to this one right here and it becomes darker so big difference so when we go back to the picture of Paul Barts next to what is probably him leaning out the doorway we can see that yes the reversal of this plaid shirt is just in line it's in line with what we would expect to happen as far as the devil worshipper John Ketchum well there was actually a family of ketchams that lived in around yville the most closely related to the description in the book is described on ancestry. family search.org in 1622 a man named John Ketchum was born in England the family immigrated to ipswitch Massachusetts when he was about 20 years old he visited Salem where he was made free via Salem's court system it would seem he arrived here as an indentured servant this particular John Ketchum which would have been the John Ketchum that would have been to Witchcraft has not any links to Witchcraft furthermore it states Ketchum was also a very well-known family that lived in Amityville within the 18th century many historical buildings were owned by them and are now museums in Amityville furthermore there's also no evidence of a shinicok Indian site on the property of the Amityville Horror house which Lorraine previously claimed eventually it was revealed by William Weber that the amville story in its entirety minus the brutal murders was Weber and let's Horror Story created over many bottles of wine the plan was for wer to use the story as a way to get a new trial for his client Ronald defo this was despite Lorraine Warren claiming that a demonic presence still inhabited the plays when they finished their last Seance when clearly nothing happened so talking about the devil mayy do case we have to bring up the fact that David glatzel depiction of the Demonic or ghostly creatures just straight up a fawn from Greek mythology when Judy glassel was pressed on why her son never received any psychological testing she went into a rant about how the world is turning evil they just want to stick needles to my kid there's no way in hell they're going to do that if people honestly believe in Jesus Christ Our Lord they have to believe in the devil besides this world is being controlled by the devil look at the drugs the prostitution the gambling the violence the devil is in charge of it all Arie Johnson claimed he blacked out and didn't remember anything that happened during his fatal fight with Alan Bono well we do know that they were drinking and alcohol can cause you to black out and not remember anything for certain periods of time when you're intoxicated that is far more likely to have happened than him being possessed by a demon but what's also interesting is both in the book and in the 2023 documentary the devil on trial Carl Jr latel the brother of David reportedly thinks the whole thing is a hoax when some priests were walking into the glatzel house to perform an investigation of the matter Carl junr remarked the only thing that's wrong with David is that he's mentally ill he always has been my mother only makes this stuff up so he doesn't have to admit it she's crazy I'm the only sane one ask anybody in 2007 Carl junr filed a lawsuit against the Warren purporting that the book The Devil in Connecticut was full of lies and that the warrs made up a story about demons to get rich and famous not only that Carl Jr also remarks about Ed Warren and Gerald brittle regarding the book The Devil in Connecticut Ed said make it scary and Gerald goes but I checked with the people and they said this didn't happen Ed goes make it scary people come to us they buy scary Carl junr also implies in the documentary The Devil and trial that David started exhibiting more demonic possession symptoms after the worms described them right in front of them in the beginning when the worms arrived they were there every day the first week every night they had the cameras ready the microphones ready it was was a show one night when the whole charade goes on where David is screaming and cursing Carl Senior comes in takes David and disciplines him by slapping him telling him to stop and he did Carl Jun remarks after the trial Judy glatzel went to Hollywood you w going to be millionaires Lorraine Warren told them actually David himself even noted how sketchy the Warren were the rain told me I was going to be a rich little boy from having this book deal David says in the documentary and it was a lie the Wars made a lot of money off of this if they can profit off you they will at the time the clel parents received 4,500 for selling their story the Warren received more than 81,000 actually I think one of the most egregious pieces of fiction in the book is this line here the Warren documented the ghastly manipulations of David's body even while he was asleep at explained the raining ey saw David's body bloated up to deadly proportions by these forces his head swelled up to the size of a basket ball his abdomen ballooned to three times its normal size as did his arms and legs and even his fingers the bloating was severe to the degree that David's body could not expand anymore and cracks developed into his skin from the swelling it looked like David was going to explode Carl junr had one Theory as to what happened allegedly after after his mother Judy had died he was going through her things and noticed a note that described Judy noting that she had just finished giving medicine to her family Carl Jr thinks that she was drugging the family with somniac sleeping pills and long-term side effects included irritability and [Music] hallucinations The Haunting in Connecticut the snedeker family Joe nickel reported that the nous land lady found the hauntings ridiculous she further claimed that nobody has experienced anything unusual on the property and that the sniders lived in the house for more than two years before they left she goes on to say that the warrants had conducted a seminar as well as chars of public essentially insinuating that they had earned money off the case it's also important to note that the hauntings that mostly occurred around Philip never had an exorcism or nothing of the sort and yet the hauntings on the property continued Ray garton writer of in a dark place the true story of a haunting who documented the snader case has a lot to say in a web post he wrote in 1999 about the Warren garton says I never saw the inside of the house myself but the family involved which was going through some serious problems like alcoholism and drug addiction could not keep their story straight and I became very frustrated it's hard writing a non-fiction book when all the people involved are telling you different stories so I went to Ed Warren and told him my problem he told me not to worry that the family was crazy I was shocked he said all the people who come to us are crazy you think sane people would come to us just make it up and make it scary since then other writers who have worked with the wors have told me the exact same story but they done so quietly because they don't want to make any waves with Publishers furthermore Ray States from my time spent with the Warren I learned from Ed that their job is not really to investigate so much as it is to take the stories told by these families most of whom are dealing with real problems like alcoholism drug addiction mental illness and or domestic abuse problems that are buried by their Supernatural fantasies and arrange them into a sellable package package that will make a good book and hopefully a movie not only are the Warren frauds not only do they give a bad name to people who are seriously investigating paranormal phenomena I think they are evil because of the way they exploit families already deep in despair garton speculated that Ed and Lorraine switched to Demons right after the Exorcist became popular first as a novel and then as a movie Eden lra stop encountering ghosts and began to uncover demon infestations it seems that wherever they went people were being sexually molested by demons makes you wonder doesn't it so that's all the cases there was one more part about Lorraine and Ed that have not mentioned first when Lorraine and Ed first started ghost hunting in the very beginning the whole sketch the house haunted house scheme Lorraine didn't expect to see anything in fact she claimed to be a skeptic now to me this is a very rare first for a supposed Clairvoyant actually there's one more tidm that just makes all of this worse in one 1990 incident Ed Warren allegedly filmed a female spirit that was Haunting a cemetery the thing is the film was never made public and the spirit allegedly turned out to be the work of a woman named Judith Penny who was reportedly wearing a white bed head sheet over her head Judith Penny as assistant and liaison Penny asserted that she and Ed Warren had an affair starting from when she was 15 and that apparently ended just a few years before Ed died in 2006 to make matters worse Lorraine knew about the affair and was in complete consent with it now to be clear in light of this information none of this is evidence against edin Lorraine's career I mean obviously I did just give you mountains of evidence but let's say I didn't do that the information about the affair on its own wouldn't it mean they have encountered numerous amounts of ghosts and demons in their career however if you paint yourself as this pure religious couple fighting against the Demonic hordes of hell we have this going on in your life then it should stand to go against your character in conclusion the warrants have clearly demonstrated a pattern of Deceit when investigating the Paranormal like Ed telling the Fable of the cursed statue of Osiris causing Walter bran Emery to go into a coma Ed's ghostly landl Apparition or the Annabel doll sneaking up on people to choke them cause car crashes and being able to to write messages on pieces of paper or furthering a Witch Hunt about the innocent ba Sheba Sherman and claims of Carolyn paren levitation or creating the Ghost Boy hoax in Amityville and lies about making the glat soul family rich and the ridiculous possession defense and The Possession itself and of course there's the warrants making a profit off of these lies and the lore of the Paranormal to further their careers through lectures and book deals and besides all of them being frauds they didn't even follow their own code when it comes to dealing with demons specifically the code for that matter would have damned them to Hell ironically enough just saying thank you for watching if you like the video hit the like button if you want to see more videos like
