Ed and Lorraine Warren - The True Story
For those who saw the movie last year (2013) The Conjuring or Amityville Horror , will remember these couple.
Ed and Lorraine Warren are real as well as their Occult Museum is true.
For over fifty years now, Ed and Lorraine Warren have been considered America's preeminent experts on the subject of spirits and demonology. Even more important perhaps, is the fact that they have also been the very same people for the past fifty years whom religious authorities have repeatedly called in to control some of the most profane outbreaks of diabolical phenomena in the country.
Ed and Lorraine Warren have dedicated their lives to this work, and they share the wisdom they have gained during their extraordinary career in this field. The work they perform is remarkable. And you can be certain, after all this time, they know things that are completely astounding.
Ed Warren is a demonologist. Lorraine Warren is a trance medium. But you'd never know it if you met them on the street. They are not occultists. They are not strange. They are essentially ordinary people who happen to do highly extraordinary work.
The Warrens - The Early Years
Ed Warren grew up in a Haunted House in Connecticut from the young age of five until he was twelve he reflects. “My father, who was a police officer at the time would often say, “Ed, there's a logical reason for everything that happens in this house." but he never came up with that logical reason."
“My family would all go to bed and just around two to three o'clock in the morning, many times I would hear the closet door beginning to open up. At first I'd look into that closet and see only shapeless darkness, then slowly I'd start to see a light beginning to form and it would morph into like a ball shape, sort of like a basketball and then I'd begin to see a face in that ball,"
" That is called a Ghost Globule. "
"In that Globule was a face. face of an old woman, and she was not looking at all pleasant. The globule would then come out into my bedroom and then accompinied by audible footsteps and heavy breathing. The room would then became icy cold, an unnatural cold, a Psychic Cold, and I'm saying to myself, “Ed There's a logical reason for everything,” But by that time I was out of the bed and right between my mother and father in their bed.”
When Ed Warren was 16 years-old he worked as an usher at "The Colonial Theatre" in Bridegport Connecticut, and it was there that he met Lorraine Rita Moran. "Lorraine and her mother used to come every Wednesday night," Ed remembered.
“ I'd see Lorraine coming in and we started talking, and we became friends. I was 16 at the time and she was 16,
one night I walked her home and asked her for a date"
" And that's how it all got started.”
Art & Ambition
Ed Warren went into the Navy on his seventeenth birthday and four months later, after his ship sank in the North Atlantic he was home for 30-day survivor's leave. It was during that leave that the two were married. When Ed returned after World War II he and Lorraine had a daughter, and Ed went to Perry Art school which is a Subsidiary of Yale for about two years.
“I got fed up with that,” Ed said. “I told Lorraine one day, “You know, I can paint better than these instructors. What they're teaching me is a lot of Geometry and a lot of nonsense that I don't need for painting.” I said, "We'll have some fun."
It was through painting that The Warrens began their Ghost Investigations. If Ed heard of any place that claimed to be haunted, whether a haunted house, or a haunted location he would drag Lorraine to check it out.
“Oh Ed, there are no such things as ghosts,” Lorraine would say, Ed would then remind her of his days at his haunted home in Bridgeport & Lorraine would go.
I'd go out in the middle of the road where they could all see me and I'd start to sketch the house and you'd see the curtains going back and forth “What's this kid doing?” they would be thinking. “I would do a really nice sketch of the house with ghosts coming out of it, and I'd give it to Lorraine, she'd go knock on the door and with her Irish personality she'd say, “Oh, my husband loves to sketch and paint haunted houses ,and he made this for you.” I made it special for them.”
The New England Society For Psychic Research
The New England Society for Psychic Research was founded in 1952 and the goal at first was to simply investigate hauntings. Then, around 1965 the Warrens went into a home where the spirit of a little girl named Cynthia and they listened to the little child coming through a deep-trance medium and she was looking for her mother.
Ed thought to himself, “This is horrible, this little child is earth-bound. She's looking for her mother constantly day in and day out. How do I help this child?”

Main Article: Notable Investigations
Amityville:
The Warrens are best known for their involvement in the Amityville Horror case in which New York couple George and Kathy Lutz claimed that their house was haunted by a violent, demonic presence so intense that it eventually drove them out of their home.
The Amityville Horror Conspiracy authors Stephen and Roxanne Kaplan characterized the case as a "hoax".
Lorraine Warren told a reporter for The Express-Times newspaper that the Amityville Horror was not a hoax.
The reported haunting was the basis for the 1977 book The Amityville Horror and 1979 and 2005 movies of the same name.
Demon Murder Trial :
In 1981, Arne Johnson was accused of killing his landlord, Alan Bono.
Ed and Lorraine Warren had been called prior to the killing to deal with the alleged demonic possession of the younger brother of Mr. Johnson's fiancee. The Warrens subsequently claimed that Mr. Johnson was also possessed.
At trial, Mr. Johnson attempted to plead Not Guilty by Reason of Demonic Possession, but was unsuccessful with his plea.
The case was described in the 1983 book The Devil in Connecticut by Gerald Brittle.
Werewolf:
The Warrens claim to have exorcised a "werewolf demon" in 1983.
The subject of the case, Bill Ramsey, had bitten several people, believing himself to be a wolf.
The events surrounding this case were later described in a 1991 book written by the Warrens, Werewolf: A True Story of Demonic Possession.
No photos or video evidence was available to confirm the possibility and reasoning that Bill Ramsey was, indeed, possessed by a werewolf-type demon or evil spirit. The case remains filled with questions and skepticisms.
Smurl Family Haunting:
Pennsylvania residents Jack and Janet Smurl reported their home was disturbed by various supernatural phenomena, including sounds, smells and apparitions.
The Warrens became involved and claimed that the Smurl home was occupied by three spirits and also a demon that allegedly sexually assaulted Jack and Janet Smurl.
The Perron Family Haunting:
In the 1970s, the Warrens claimed the Perron's Rhode Island home was haunted by demons because of a woman, presumed witch, who lived there in the early 19th century named Bathsheba Sherman, cursed the house.
It is the subject of a 2013 film The Conjuring.
