The true story behind The Conjuring: Last Rites, detailing the haunting of the Smurl family by several spirits and a demon that prompted the aid of Ed and Lorraine Warren. Get the podcast ad-free: https://www.redwebpod.comIn the 1970s, the Smurl family was looking for a fresh start after their house was destroyed in a natural disaster. At first, all seemed well as they settled into their new home and community. Little by little, things seemed more amiss. It started with inexplicable stains, or maybe a passing foul odor, small mishaps that could be reasoned away. In due time, it would turn into something much more sinister, leading to over a decade of paranormal torment. Today, we're investigating the Smurl Family Haunting.Sensitive topics: Sexual assault, physical abuse, animal abuse Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONIn 1973, Jack and Janet Smurl moved into half of a double-block house on Chase Street in West Pittston, Pennsylvania. Jack's parents took the other half. For 13 years both households reported the same things through the same wall: knocking, voices calling in the family's own tones from empty rooms, a faceless black shape that walked through the wall and came out the other side. Three attempted exorcisms failed, and Janet said the reason was simple, that the thing crossed to whichever half the priest was not in. Mary Ann Poll tells the Smurls' account the way they told it, gives the doubters their full say, and follows the story to the prayers the family said ended it.EPISODE NOTES● Built on the shared wall. Jack's mother Mary heard the knocking on her side, heard a man and a woman fighting on a night Jack and Janet were not in the room, and watched the faceless shape come out her side after Janet watched it walk into the wall.● Phenomena covered: objects vanishing and returning, stains rising through fresh paint, knocking from inside a switched-off television, family voices calling from empty rooms, screams and pig grunts and hoofbeats, cold rooms, an unplugged radio at full volume, the stench of smoke and rotten meat, the 75-pound German shepherd slammed into a wall, Dawn attacked in the shower at 17, Shannon thrown down a flight of stairs at 8, the bed shaking, Janet pinned to the mattress, and Jack dragged off his knees while praying the rosary.● Their neighbor Debbie Watson reported screams from the house when no one was inside it, and scratching at an upstairs window screen.● The skeptical case is given in full: Paul Kurtz of CSICOP called it a hoax and pointed to the mine shafts under the street, the sewer odor, and the book deal that followed within months. Jack's 1983 brain surgery was raised publicly, and the family declined psychiatric testing.● The Church stayed in the middle. Chancellor Gerald Mullally said they believed the family but did not know what it was, and a diocesan priest spent two nights in the house in October 1986 with nothing happening.● Four days before Halloween 1986 the Smurls said the demons were gone, credited to their own parish and their own prayers rather than the three failed exorcisms. They left Chase Street in 1988, and later residents on both sides reported nothing. Jack died in 2017, Janet in 2026. Approximately 2,414 spoken words.SCRIPTUREPsalm 91:1, 2, 5 (NIV) — 'Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Whatever his father witnessed left enough of an impression that he began avoiding that side of the property altogether.But ghosts are only part of Dayvid's story.He also recounts escaping a potentially deadly fire, an experience that left him with questions about survival, fate, and even the unsettling thought: "Did I die in the fire?"We explore how these experiences ultimately changed Dayvid's perspective on the paranormal, why he warns people not to "feed the ghosts" by constantly giving unexplained activity attention, and what he has learned during his journey from skeptic to believer.Dayvid also takes us beyond his own encounters as we discuss the spirits believed to haunt the Black Swan Inn and his conversation with the grandson of Ed and Lorraine Warren about Annabelle, demons, and the paranormal legacy surrounding the Warren family.How many unexplained experiences does it take before you begin questioning what you thought you knew about reality?For Dayvid, the journey down the rabbit hole began with experiences he could no longer dismiss.

Bathsheba Sherman est devenue, pour des millions de spectateurs, la sorcière démoniaque de The Conjuring. Une femme accusée d'avoir tué un nourrisson, signé un pacte avec Satan, puis hanté une maison devenue culte dans l'histoire de l'horreur. Le problème, c'est que la vraie Bathsheba Sherman n'a probablement jamais été cette créature-là. Dans cet épisode de podcast horreur, Chandleyr démonte couche par couche la fabrication d'un monstre : une femme réelle du Rhode Island, née en 1812, mariée, croyante, endeuillée, morte en 1885, puis lentement défigurée par les rumeurs, les récits paranormaux, les Warren, la mémoire familiale des Perron et enfin Hollywood. Cette chronique longue de podcast horreur français ne raconte pas seulement les coulisses de The Conjuring. Elle s'intéresse à quelque chose de plus dérangeant : la façon dont une morte ordinaire devient une figure démoniaque rentable. À partir des éléments exposés dans le script, l'épisode remonte la chaîne complète de contamination : la réputation locale de Bathsheba Sherman, l'épisode du nourrisson jamais jugé, l'installation des Perron dans l'Arnold Estate, l'intervention des Warren, l'amplification du récit par Andrea Perron, puis la transformation finale par James Wan en antagoniste parfaite de cinéma. Le cœur de l'histoire n'est donc pas seulement une maison hantée. C'est une mécanique de fabrication du monstre. Dans Dans l'Ombre des Légendes, Bathsheba n'est plus seulement “la sorcière de Conjuring”. Elle redevient une femme réelle, avec ses deuils, ses silences, son enterrement en terre consacrée, puis sa seconde mort : celle infligée par le folklore, l'industrie du paranormal et le cinéma d'horreur. Ce récit parle de mémoire profanée, de vérité historique, de légende urbaine, de démonologie spectacle, des Warren, d'Hollywood, et de ce que l'entertainment fait parfois aux morts qui ne peuvent plus se défendre. L'horreur ici n'est pas dans la maison. Elle est dans notre besoin de monstres, et dans la facilité avec laquelle on les fabrique à partir d'un visage humain. Si vous aimez les épisodes qui croisent true crime, enquête historique, folklore américain, maisons hantées, coulisses du cinéma d'horreur et démontage des grands mythes paranormaux, cet épisode est fait pour vous. Une contre-enquête noire, lente, adulte, où Chandleyr ne cherche pas à ranimer la légende, mais à autopsier ce qu'elle a détruit.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! El programa exclusivo para mecenas de La Rueda del Misterio se adentra en la verdadera historia de Ed y Lorraine Warren, revelando las luces y sombras detrás del matrimonio de investigadores paranormales más famoso del siglo veinte. A través de un recorrido exhaustivo por su trayectoria, exploramos sus orígenes en Connecticut, donde fundaron la Sociedad de Investigación Psíquica de Nueva Inglaterra en mil novecientos cincuenta y dos, construyendo un particular método de trabajo basado en la fe y la clarividencia, pero carente de cualquier validación científica independiente. El episodio repasa detalladamente sus casos más célebres, abordando las inconsistencias del mediático horror de Amityville, la inquietante historia original de la muñeca Annabelle, los sucesos en la granja de Rhode Island que inspiraron la saga de Expediente Warren, el oscuro poltergeist de Enfield y el insólito juicio por posesión demoníaca de Arne Cheyenne Johnson. Sin embargo, el relato no elude las perspectivas incómodas ni las voces críticas que los tildaron de farsantes, incluyendo el contundente análisis de los escépticos de la New England Skeptical Society y las confesiones de colaboradores directos que apuntaban a la invención de detalles dramáticos por motivos económicos. Además, nos adentramos en las oscuras y silenciadas acusaciones póstumas de Judith Penney sobre abusos prolongados y relaciones con menores de edad en el seno del matrimonio, aspectos que las grandes producciones de Hollywood decidieron blindar contractualmente. Finalmente, el programa invita a la reflexión sobre el inmenso y paradójico legado de esta pareja, debatiendo si fueron auténticos pioneros espirituales incomprendidos por su tiempo o unos narradores extraordinarios que lograron construir un imperio mediático incalculable capitalizando el miedo ajeno. #LaRuedaDelMisterio #LosWarren #Misterio #Mecenas #Paranormal #EdYLorraineWarren #ExpedienteWarren #Demonologia #HistoriaReal laruedadelmisterio2010@gmail.com ®© La Rueda del Misterio Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de La Rueda del Misterio.

Venturing beyond the West Pittston coal region, Furek's narrative explores the dark crawlspaces of High Hopes, the Hinsdale House, the damned Welles House, as seen through the eyes of exorcists and psychics, such as the mysterious Fr. Alphonsus Trabold and Alexander Tanous—revealing terrifying secrets inside the occult wormhole. Something of the supernatural channeled through Furek inspiring him to write this book. The 92-year-old West Pittston Smurl duplex was a half-hour drive from his home, and the author befriended demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren during their 15-city book tour promoting The Haunted. Shockingly, Annabelle handler Dan Rivera died two days after the author met him at the 2025 Gettysburg “Devils on the Run” Tour. —Paranormal Apocalypse: Is This How It Ends?

Step Into the Shadows... We chase the thrill of a ghost train just to feel the rush of raw fear and adrenaline—and Hollywood horror taps into that exact same primal nerve. But behind the silver-screen scares lies a real, breathing legacy. While The Conjuring universe immortalized the terrifying case files of legendary paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, their most profound living legacy is their grandson, Chris McKinnell. Raised right at the epicenter of the supernatural, Chris absorbed a lifetime of frontline paranormal knowledge before forging his own path. Using his extraordinary upbringing as a foundation, he has developed a global spirituality and an unrivaled understanding of the unknown—crafting a philosophy of the paranormal that offers deep, tangible lessons for us all. "A masterclass in the mysterious." In this truly fascinating, deeply insightful episode, Chris joins James on the Fortean News Podcast to pull back the curtain on a lifetime lived between worlds.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODEThe paranormal world knows the names Ed and Lorraine Warren—but few know what it was like to grow up inside their shadow, inside their legacy, and sometimes, inside their battles with real darkness. Christopher McKinnell does.As the grandson of the most famous demonologists in modern history, Christopher didn't just hear the stories… he lived beside them. He witnessed the aftermath of cases Hollywood could only hint at. He saw objects in the Warrens' occult museum that radiated with something so heavy, so wrong, even seasoned investigators refused to enter the room. And he learned early that some hauntings don't end when the lights come on—they linger, watching.Christopher steps out from behind the legend to reveal what the movies left out, what truly happened during the case of the “flying bed,” and why the darkest forces the Warrens ever encountered were far more dangerous than any screenplay dared to show.This isn't the story of Ed and Lorraine Warren.

For nearly forty years, Richard P. Jackson has entered allegedly haunted homes, confronted claims of demonic possession and participated in exorcisms. Trained by legendary investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, Jackson reveals what he believes lurks beyond the veil, why some spirits deceive, and what happens when you challenge the darkness.

Seeking help brought him to Ed and Lorraine Warren, who became his mentors. He later studied mediumship at Lily Dale and worked alongside renowned exorcist Bishop Robert McKenna. Over nearly four decades, Jackson says he has cleared hundreds of allegedly haunted locations, participated in scores of exorcisms and encountered phenomena that convinced him evil is an intelligent, deceptive force.

August 1981, a small house in Lee, Massachusetts. A sixteen-year-old boy sits alone in the dark, in a room where something has already knocked a grown woman unconscious. Behind his head, inside the wall, something is clawing and growling.This week, Yvette Fielding is joined by Chris McKinnell. The grandson of Ed and Lorraine Warren, the couple behind Amityville, Annabelle and the entire Conjuring universe. But Chris isn't here to guard the legacy. He's here to question it.He tells the stories Hollywood left out: claw marks opening on a woman's face live on air, a great-grandfather in his rearview mirror, and the untold British chapter, when Ed and Lorraine toured three thousand miles of this country's most haunted sites. And he does what almost nobody in this field will, he says where his grandparents were wrong.A curse, a mind under strain, or consciousness surviving death? Listen, and decide for yourself.Chris tours the UK and Ireland this September and October with The Real Conjuring.His book, The Warren Legacy: What the Paranormal Reveals About Consciousness and Reality, is out now.

What happens when two of the world's most famous paranormal investigators arrive at the centre of an alleged haunting?Over the previous three episodes, Ciaran Farrell has described a series of extraordinary experiences that, according to his account, began in childhood before following him into boarding school. There, alleged paranormal phenomena became intertwined with psychiatric theories, harsh discipline and increasingly controversial attempts to explain what was happening.In this concluding chapter, the focus shifts to the arrival of Ed and Lorraine Warren.Ciaran reflects on their investigation, the stark differences between their interpretation of events and those of the school, and why they believed the activity was demonic rather than the work of spirits such as Susan, the apparition he says repeatedly protected him. He also recounts disturbing allegations of ritual activity, violent confrontations, physical evidence that he believes challenged official explanations, and the growing divide between theology, psychology and psychical research.As the series reaches its conclusion, broader questions emerge. How should extraordinary experiences be investigated? What happens when belief shapes interpretation? And can two people witness the same event yet arrive at completely different conclusions? This final episode invites you to decide where the evidence leads.My Special Guest Is Ciaran Farrell:   Ciaran has served as a Council member of the Society for Psychical Research, SPR and the SPR's Spontaneous Cases committee, SCC for many years.He has had many psychical experiences and adventures when he was a boy. This led him to formulate his own early theories about ghosts, poltergeists and telepathic veridical dreams of the dead gained through direct encounters with ghosts, spirits and poltergeists.He went on to build and design some of his own ghost-hunting equipment and to improve upon his previous theories about Cold Spots building on his own experience of them and his own ghost adventures. He formulated the concept of ‘my body as an instrument' to monitor and evaluate his perception of the atmospheres of rooms and outdoor places and preternatural Cold Spots within them as well as the perception and detection of poltergeists and ghost encounters. If you value this podcast and want to enjoy more episodes please come and find us on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Haunted_History_Chronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ to ⁠support the podcast, gain a wealth of additional exclusive podcasts, writing and other content.Links to all Haunted History Chronicles Social Media Pages, Published Materials and more:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/hauntedhistorychronicles?fbclid=IwAR15rJF2m9nJ0HTXm27HZ3QQ2Llz46E0UpdWv-zePVn9Oj9Q8rdYaZsR74I⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NEWPodcast Shop:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/user/haunted-history-chronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/hauntedhistorychronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren confiscate the demonic Annabelle doll from nurses Debbie and Camilla. During the drive back home, the doll summons spirits to attack Ed. Annabelle is locked in a sacred glass case in the couple's artifacts room to ensure the evil is contained, with the help of Father Gordon. One year later, the Warrens welcome Mary Ellen who will be babysitting their daughter Judy, while they travel overnight to investigate a case. At school, Judy notices a ghostly priest following her. Judy's birthday is coming up and she tries to invite her classmates who reject the invitation because they think Judy is a freak due to her parents' work. Mary Ellen decides to have an early birthday celebration for Judy. Her friend Daniela arrives uninvited to the Warrens' home. The real reason she came is to try and speak to her deceased father's spirit to apologize to him for a car accident that killed him, for which Daniela blames herself. She sneaks into the artifacts room and inadvertently releases the spirit of Annabelle "Bee" Mullins. Annabelle releases other spirits such as the Ferryman, the Bride, a Feeley Meeley board game, and the Black Shuck, who start wreaking havoc around the house. Mary Ellen's crush Bob Palmeri arrives and is attacked by the Black Shuck. Judy and Mary Ellen are confronted by other spirits. Daniela sneaks back into the house to return the artifacts room's keys. She gets locked inside and is tormented by the haunted objects. Upstairs, Mary Ellen is tormented by the Ferryman, whose last victim has a striking resemblance to Mary Ellen. She escapes and runs to Judy's room, where the young girl is being attacked by the Annabelle doll and the demon. The girls try to reach Lorraine but are unable to get through. They end up going into the artifact room and encounter Daniela and rescue her. Judy explains that they must lock Annabelle back in her case so that the other spirits can rest. Bob protects Judy from the Black Shuck while she retrieves Mary Ellen's asthma inhaler, and Daniela is possessed by the Bride. Mary Ellen and Judy find the doll when the ghostly priest, acting as Judy's guardian, guides them to the Ferryman. They retrieve the key to the case but struggle when the Feeley Meeley board game and the demon of the doll attack them. Daniela recovers when Judy plays Ed's recorded footage of the Bride's exorcism. After the doll is placed back in the case and locked, the disturbances cease. Ed and Lorraine return the next morning. At Judy's birthday party all of Judy's classmates arrive. Lorraine takes Daniela back into the artifact room where Daniela apologizes her action. Lorraine then gives her a comforting message from her father.

The story continues...In the first episode, Ciaran Farrell shared the extraordinary experiences that began with a family holiday to a reportedly haunted house in Broadstairs. What should have ended when the holiday was over instead followed him home and into his boarding school, where increasingly disturbing events drew the attention of psychical researchers, clergy and even Ed and Lorraine Warren.In Part Two, the mystery deepens.Ciaran describes the different entities he believes surrounded him, the extraordinary incidents that disrupted life throughout the school, and the experiments carried out to determine whether the phenomena originated from him—or from something entirely separate. From shared dreams and automatic writing to violent poltergeist activity witnessed by staff and pupils, he reflects on the experiences that shaped his lifelong search for answers.Whether viewed as genuine paranormal events, misunderstood psychological experiences or something in between, this episode explores one of the most unusual personal accounts you'll hear.My Special Guest Is Ciaran Farrell:   Ciaran has served as a Council member of the Society for Psychical Research, SPR and the SPR's Spontaneous Cases committee, SCC for many years.He has had many psychical experiences and adventures when he was a boy.

According to Deadline's sources, Michael Waldron, who has written a number of MCU projects including Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as well as the first treatment of the never-to-be Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, is developing the script for a Nova feature film. Waldron is currently on the Avengers: Doomsday writing team with Steven McFeely and a Nova focused TV or film project has long been rumored to be in the works for Marvel; Last week Warner Bros and Legendary released the official trailer for Dune: Part Three, the seemingly epic conclusion to Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbet's fundamental sci-fi source material. The trailer, like the teasers before it, depicts the conflict situated around the rise and fall of Timothee Chalamet's warmongering, would-be messiah, Paul Atriedes, while showcasing the star-studded cast of newcomers, and returning characters in more ways than one. Dune: Part Three has yet to waiver from its December debut coinciding with Avengers: Doomsday; The post-Supergirl DCU has been the subject of much consternation and the latest pieces of news coming from the studio and franchise do little to change the tunes on either side of the chorusline. First, Jimmy Tatro is reportedly in talks to voice Gorilla Grodd in the Jimmy Olsen TV spinoff series that is supposedly titled DC Crime. Elsewhere, Deadline sources claim Xolo Marideuna is set to suit up as the Blue Beetle once more in Man of Tomorrow, the sequel to 2025's Superman.Avengers: Doomsday tickets go on sale July 20, and the early sale announcement comes with a confirmed runtime of 165 minutes. Julianne Nicholson joins Season 2 of HBO's Task, reprising her Emmy-winning Mare of Easttown role as Lori Ross and officially placing the two shows in the same universe. Prime Video released first look images at Carrie, Mike Flanagan's series adaptation of the Stephen King novel, coming this fall. Paramount has closed a deal for U.S. rights to Wes Craven's original A Nightmare on Elm Street screenplay, with plans to adapt it into a new feature. Sam Neill, star of Jurassic Park, The Piano, and In the Mouth of Madness, has died at 78. The live-action Moana opened to $95 million worldwide, well under projections, with Deadline reporting the film stands to lose $100-125 million. Warner Bros. dropped the first trailer for Digger, Alejandro G. Iñárritu's film starring Tom Cruise as oil baron Digger Rockwell, in theaters October 2. The M3GAN spinoff Soulm8te is skipping theaters after being pulled from Universal's calendar and heads straight to digital on August 1. The 2026 Emmy nominations were announced last week and are led by HBO Max's The Pitt with 25 nominations, narrowly ahead of the final season of Hacks with 24, making them the clear frontrunners heading into September's ceremony. The first trailer arrived for Buddy, Casper Kelly's horror comedy starring Cristin Milioti and Keegan-Michael Key, hitting theaters August 28.New Line's The Conuring prequel The Conjuring: First Communion has cast Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix in lead roles. The pair will play young versions of franchise characters Ed and Lorraine Warren.A coalition of a dozen states on Monday sued to block Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, posing a new challenge to the $110 billion deal that would unite two of the nation's largest media companies.

Chris McKinnell grew up as the grandson of Ed and Lorraine Warren, surrounded by haunted objects and terrifying investigations that left him afraid of the dark until one unforgettable night changed everything. In this special interview, he shares firsthand stories from inside the Warren family, including the infamous Lee, Massachusetts haunting, and why, after a lifetime chasing the paranormal, he's convinced the answers are far stranger than demons.Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

What happens when a haunted holiday doesn't end when you leave?In this extraordinary first part of a series of conversations, Ciaran Farrell shares the deeply personal story that shaped the rest of his life. What began as a family holiday in a supposedly haunted house in Kent soon became something far stranger, with terrifying experiences that, he says, followed him home—and even into his boarding school.Years before becoming a respected member of the Society for Psychical Research, Ciaran found himself at the centre of a case involving apparitions, poltergeist phenomena, exorcisms, and later, the controversial involvement of Ed and Lorraine Warren. Whether you approach the story as a believer or a sceptic, this is a remarkable account of one man's lifelong search to understand the experiences that defined his childhood.My Special Guest Is Ciaran Farrell:   Ciaran has served as a Council member of the Society for Psychical Research, SPR and the SPR's Spontaneous Cases committee, SCC for many years.He has had many psychical experiences and adventures when he was a boy.

Centuries before Hollywood dressed it in a nun's habit, the demon Valak prowled the pages of forbidden grimoires as a winged boy astride a two-headed dragon, commanding legions of serpents to do his bidding.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources):https://weirddarkness.com/valekREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/24s8nzb9FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Although Valak is depicted in the films "The Nun" and in “The Conjuring 2” as a habit-wearing spirit, the real demon appears as a child riding a two-headed dragon — at least according to a 17th-century demon-hunting manual. (The Reality Behind The Demon, Valak) *** The Vatican is one of the most well-guarded areas in the world. But if rumors are to be believed, all that security isn't only to protect the pontiff… but some dark, disturbing secrets… and a machine that could change everything we know to be true. (The Vatican's Secret Machine) *** We'll look at that time a force field was accidentally created at a 3M plant. (3M's Accidental Force Field) *** In 1872 George Wheeler met and married May Tillson in Boston. He made a home for May and her younger sister Della, first in New York, then in California. Along the way, George fell in love with young Della and when she planned to marry someone else he was faced with a dilemma: he could not marry her himself and he could not bear to see her wed to another. The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills. To help accommodate the need, it was made legal to sell dead bodies. What could possibly go wrong?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a centuries-old demon mistaken for a nun, through the Victorian trade in stolen corpses and a force field that appeared inside a 1980 factory, to a San Francisco trunk murder and a Catholic priest who claimed to have built a machine that could film the past.It opens with the demon Valak, who reaches modern audiences through The Nun and The Conjuring 2 as a pale, nun-robed figure but appears in the 17th-century grimoire Clavicula Salomonis Regis, or The Key of Solomon, as the 62nd spirit: a boy with angel's wings riding a two-headed dragon, commanding a legion of serpents and an army of thirty demons while hunting snakes and hidden treasure. The nun costume was the invention of director James Wan, who reshaped a vision the medium Lorraine Warren described to him — a swirling hooded figure carrying female energy — into a holy icon turned against her Catholic faith. Warren and her husband Ed, the demonologists who rose to fame after the 1976 Amityville investigation, reportedly met a spectral hooded figure at the Borley church in southern England, where lore held that a nun had been bricked alive in the convent walls after an affair with a monk. The Key of Solomon, which lists the seventy-two demons King Solomon was said to have vanquished, sat on the Vatican's Index librorum prohibitorum until the Church abandoned that list of prohibited books in 1966, though copies kept turning up in the hands of Catholic priests.From there the episode turns to the Anatomy Act of 1832, the British law that legalized dissecting unclaimed bodies from workhouses and hospitals to end the grave-robbing of the resurrectionists, yet instead built an organized corpse trade across Victorian England. The twelfth-century St. Bartholomew's left wicker baskets beneath its King Henry VIII gate for body dealers to fill, while a Liverpool Street express known as the "dead train" carried sealed funeral wagons of stacked corpses toward Cambridge. Deepening the trade, the New Poor Law of 1834 confined the destitute to workhouses whose officials profited from selling the dead, and in 1858 the master of St. Mary Newington workhouse, Alfred Feist, was caught funneling pauper bodies to Guy's Hospital through the undertaker Robert Hogg, who staged fake funerals and collected double payment. Anatomists prized the bodies of fetuses and children, keeping their skulls intact — only one of fifty-four specimens in a Cambridge collection had received a craniotomy — and the public's dread boiled over in Manchester in 1832, when a grandfather opened the coffin of a three-year-old who had died at the Swan Street Cholera Hospital and found a brick where the boy's head should have been.Next comes a stranger kind of dread, set in the summer of 1980 at a 3M plant in South Carolina, where workers slitting twenty-foot-wide polypropylene film at a thousand feet per minute walked into an invisible wall they could not push through. The static-charged field, which one worker measured past the limit of a 200-kilovolt handheld electrometer, pulled people toward it so strongly they had to back away on foot, swallowed a passing fly, and by one account could have held a bird in its grip before vanishing as abruptly as it formed. Managers reproduced the effect the next morning under lower humidity, and the plant production manager reportedly said he didn't know whether to fix it or sell tickets; later accounts claim a researcher who published on the phenomenon was contacted by NASA and federal agencies before the grounding fault was corrected and the field never returned.The episode then moves to a true-crime case in San Francisco, where around midnight on October 20, 1880, George A. Wheeler walked into a police station and confessed to strangling his sister-in-law Della Tillson and packing her body into a trunk in their room at 23 Kearney Street. Wheeler had fathered two children with Della, both of whom died, while her sister — his deaf wife, May — lived across the hall posing as his sister-in-law, and the arrival of the miner George Peckham, who hoped to marry Della and take her to Sacramento, drove Wheeler to kill rather than let the two leave together. He told reporters that Della sat in his lap and asked him to end her life, that she died with her head on his shoulder, and his defense of hereditary insanity failed across two trials, the second forced by a California Supreme Court ruling over improperly admitted testimony from a book on medical jurisprudence. On January 23, 1884, five thousand people gathered outside the jail, entrance tickets sold for ten dollars apiece, and Wheeler — newly drawn toward Catholic conversion under Father Cottle — kissed a crucifix, commended his spirit, and dropped to a broken neck.The episode closes inside the Vatican with Father Pellegrino Ernetti, an Italian priest, exorcist, and musical scholar who claimed in the 1950s to have helped build a device called the Chronovisor that could see and hear the past. Ernetti said a team of twelve anonymous scientists, among them the physicist Enrico Fermi and the rocket engineer Wernher von Braun, tuned the machine to a speech by Mussolini, then Napoleon, a Roman market under Emperor Trajan, a Cicero oration, and a 169 B.C. performance of Quintus Ennius's lost tragedy Thyestes, which he said let him publish its full text. When the magazine La Domenica del Corriere printed a Chronovisor image of Christ's face on the cross on May 2, 1972, it was soon matched to a mirrored photograph of a wood carving by the sculptor Cullot Valera, and Ernetti — who said the machine was too dangerous to exist and had been dismantled and hidden — left behind no device, no named living witnesses, and a 1993 presentation to four cardinals whose contents were never disclosed.

Horror history gets weird, reflective, and dangerously snackable this week as This Week in Horror History travels through June 8–14 with mischievous monsters, haunted hotels, supernatural comedy, demonic hauntings, creepy mirrors, and one killer dessert that may be eating America alive.This episode digs into a packed week of classic horror movies, cult horror sequels, supernatural blockbusters, 1980s horror, haunted-house horror, and strange consumer-satire body horror, including the release of Gremlins, the same-day arrival of Ghostbusters, the wider theatrical expansion of The Shining, the hit sequel The Conjuring 2, and the mirror-filled nightmare of Poltergeist III.Inside this episode:• Gremlins turns one cute little mogwai into small-town monster chaos and helps push Hollywood toward the PG-13 rating.• Ghostbusters brings haunted libraries, demonic possession, rooftop apocalypse, and paranormal exterminators into one of the biggest supernatural comedy franchises ever.• The Shining expands wider in U.S. theaters, pulling more audiences into Stanley Kubrick's cold, hypnotic nightmare inside the Overlook Hotel.• The Conjuring 2 sends Ed and Lorraine Warren to the Enfield haunting and introduces one of modern horror's most memorable demonic figures.• The Deep-Cut Spotlight goes to Poltergeist III, the strange 1988 sequel that traps Carol Anne inside a haunted Chicago high-rise full of mirrors, elevators, cold hallways, and unfinished supernatural business.Plus: a horror birthday roll featuring Johnny Depp, Natalie Portman, Jurgen Prochnow, and Adrienne Barbeau, a creepy look at how horror sneaks into family homes, hotels, corporate towers, grocery aisles, and blockbuster comedy, and a weekly recommendation for Larry Cohen's weird, gross, and sharply satirical cult classic The Stuff.From mogwai mayhem and ghost exterminators to haunted reflections, demonic forces, the Overlook Hotel, and a mysterious dessert that might be consuming its customers from the inside out, this week proves horror can invade almost anything: your home, your hotel room, your movie theater, your refrigerator, and your appetite.

A regular nineteen-year-old with no criminal record stabbed his landlord to death with a pocketknife, then later claimed the demon he'd taunted into possessing him — instead of his fiancée's eleven-year-old brother — had crawled out of a well and into his body to commit the murder.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/arnejohnsonREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8n97s9FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The third Conjuring film is based on the true story of Arne Cheyenne Johnson who claimed he committed murder because a demon made him do it.

But of course that does not happen for most of us. In fact, there are probably more people going out in a blaze of stupidity!

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 17, 2021Weird Darkness host Darren Marlar leads listeners through seven dark tales spanning a courtroom plea of demonic possession, an unsolved double murder on a remote Australian cattle station, an Amazon tribe's memory of a sky visitor, the serpent-race conspiracy of reptilians, a centuries-old English haunting, history's most absurd deaths, and a Missouri man who vanished after trying to build a time machine.It opens with the 1981 killing of forty-year-old landlord Alan Bono in Brookfield, Connecticut, the first murder in the town's 193-year history, committed by his nineteen-year-old tenant Arne Cheyenne Johnson with a five-inch pocket knife. Johnson's attorney Martin Minnella attempted a plea of not guilty by reason of demonic possession, tracing the violence to months of torment suffered by eleven-year-old David Glatzel, the brother of Johnson's fiancée Debbie, who described a tormentor with black eyes, animal features, and hooves. Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren declared it a genuine possession and claimed David levitated and stopped breathing across three exorcisms overseen by priests, while psychiatrists countered that the boy had a learning disability. Judge Robert Callahan rejected the supernatural defense as unprovable, Johnson was convicted of first-degree manslaughter on November 24, 1981, and the case later inspired the film The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.From there the episode travels to the remote Wonnangatta Station in Australia's Victorian Alps, where caretaker James Barclay hired English handyman John Bamford in 1917, a man rumored to have killed his own wife. After the two rode to Talbotville to vote on the Reinforcement Referendum in December 1917, mailman Harry Smith found the homestead empty but for the words "Home Tonight" chalked on the kitchen door, and weeks later he and Jack Jebb uncovered Barclay's decomposed body in a shallow creekside grave, dead from a shotgun blast to the back. The following November, Bamford's body surfaced in a log pile on the Howitt Plains with a bullet in the head, leaving investigators with a recently fired shotgun, traces of strychnine in the kitchen pepper, and no answer as to who killed the second man.Next comes the legend of the Kayapo people of the Brazilian Amazon, who tell of a sky visitor named Bep Kororoti who descended from the mountains of Pukato-Ti amid thunder, wielding a weapon that reduced trees and stones to dust and a beam of light that paralyzed anyone who fled his lessons. The being neither ate nor drank, taught the villagers practical skills, and eventually ascended back into the sky, and the account drew international attention when young Kayapo men touring Rio de Janeiro reportedly pointed at an Apollo 11 astronaut display and shouted that he had returned. Erich von Däniken cited photographs of Kayapo men in straw ritual costumes resembling spacesuits, taken by Joao Americo Peret in 1952, nearly a decade before Yuri Gagarin's 1961 spaceflight, as supposed support for the ancient astronaut theory.The discussion then turns to reptilians, tracing serpent-race myths found across Sumeria, Babylonia, India, China, and Mesoamerica, alongside the modern claims of David Icke that some humans are disguised lizard people. Set against the folklore, researcher Bjarke Jensen of Aarhus University lays out the actual biology: the human reptilian brain that governs heart rate and breathing, eyes structured much like a reptile's, and conductive heart tissue whose molecular building blocks Jensen's team located hidden in the spongy hearts of lizards, frogs, and zebrafish.The episode then visits Watton Priory in East Riding of Yorkshire, a Gilbertine community where, according to the twelfth-century account of Saint Aelred of Rievaulx, an orphaned girl named Elfleda fell in love with a young lay brother, was beaten and chained in a dungeon by the nuns, and was forced to watch as the man was mutilated. A second tragedy fastened itself to the same site after the 1644 Battle of Marston Moor, when Parliamentarian soldiers beheaded the Catholic Lady of Watton and killed her child, and over the centuries the two women blurred into a single spectral figure remembered as the Headless Nun, said to stand at the foot of the bed in blood-stained garments before vanishing.From there the show catalogs history's most absurd deaths, beginning with English Channel swimmer Matthew Webb, who drowned in the Niagara rapids in 1883, and the Spartan general Pausanias, sealed inside a temple of Athena and starved until he died moments after his release. The roll continues with Draco of Athens, smothered around 600 BC beneath cloaks and hats thrown in tribute; Sir Arthur Aston, beaten to death with his own wooden leg; the philosopher Heraclitus, who buried himself in cow dung hoping to cure his dropsy; lawyer Clement Vallandigham, who fatally shot himself in 1871 while demonstrating how a victim might have shot himself by accident; the Viking Sigurd the Mighty, killed by an infection from the sev

But it appears they may not be as advertised. If fact, they've been shown to be fraudulent on more than one occasion. *** Whether or not you believe in curses, luck, or fate it may be hard to explain away some of the eerie items people have had in their keeping, only to get rid of them as quickly as possible for fear of suffering more calamities. *** A woman describes her home as a child as evil – even on sunny days, the gloom would overtake her. *** In an old cemetery in North Carolina, a young girl is buried – but not in a coffin as you might expect.

Drew had always been fascinated by the paranormal.

Drew had always been fascinated by the paranormal.

Read a more in-depth article about Candyman: https://weirddarkness.com/candyman-love-story/Say his name five times in a mirror, and Candyman, a vengeful spirit born from love, betrayal, and unspeakable violence, will appear to continue his blood-soaked legend across generations.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: If you look in a mirror and say his name five times, he will appear behind you, complete with a hook for a hand – covered in blood because his hand has been cut off. Isn't that romantic? No? Well, Clive Barker's 1992 horror cult classic “Candyman” actually began as a real-life love story. So how did it turn so gruesome and terrifying? (The Nightmarish Love Story Behind Horror's Candyman) *** The Enfield Poltergeist has become infamous thanks to Ed and Lorraine Warren and “The Conjuring” films. That took place in a house in Brimsdown, Enfield, London England. But on the other side of the pond there is an Enfield, Illinois. Not as well known as the one in England of course, but they still have a horror in their past. One that took place four years before the Enfield incident in London… about a terrifying creature that locals who were alive at the time still get goosebumps talking about. (The Horror of the Enfield, Illinois Monster) *** Complex family dynamics and an infatuated businessman ended in a murder that was covered up and remained hidden for three decades, buried in the grounds of the house at 10324 Canyon Road. (A Dark Secret Leads To a Death On Canyon Road) *** One girl decided to go by the name of Lila, because her true name was Delilah but she didn't want to be associated with that harlot in the Bible. The stories behind how people get nicknames can often be fascinating. So how do you supposed Margaret Dickson got tagged with the nickname of “Half Hangit Maggie”? (Half Hangit Maggie) *** The search for intelligent life in the universe has been a goal for decades, with everyone from NASA to SETI to backyard Ufologists looking to the skies, listening to various radio waves, hoping to catch just a glimpse, at least a hint of what we hope to find. But could it be that we're looking in the wrong place? Perhaps the extraterrestrial intelligence, the more advanced life we seek to make contact with, is not out there somewhere… but it is here somewhere… already on Earth? (There Might Be Intelligent Life On Earth After All) *** Too often we are let down by those whom we look up to – and that goes doubly so for those in religious authority. How many well-known religious figures have toppled over after being exalted on high by the followers they so skillfully misled? Jim Bakker, Robert Tilton, Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart… but none compare to Major Thomas Weir – a strict Presbyterian known for his powerful prayers, earning him a reputation for being one of the most saintly men of his time. But then he made a confession so outlandish, so ghastly and profane, they executed him.
