His pursuit of knowledge opened unexpected doors, including a close and personal friendship with Lorraine Warren, the world-renowned investigator who, alongside her husband Ed, inspired The Conjuring films. Under Lorraine's mentorship, Michael sharpened his understanding of the spiritual battle between good and evil and learned the delicate and dangerous work of aiding the afflicted.But this wasn't just theory. Michael didn't stay in the classroom or behind the books. He dove headfirst into real-life cases of demonic oppression, families tormented by forces beyond comprehension, homes plagued by violent hauntings, and individuals left scarred by the shadows that stalked them.

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 how much truth is there to that story? (The Devil Made Him Do It) *** A tribe living in the Amazon Jungle tells about a strange encounter they had with an extraterrestrial and a strange beam of light. (That Time An Alien Visited the Kayapo People) *** An elderly man decides he needs to hire someone to help him care for his property… but who he chose would bring only death and a mystery that still goes unsolved. (The Wonnangatta Station Murders) *** Lizard people. Reptilians. It's one of the strangest and most controversial conspiracy theories in existence – and we'll look at some of the history behind the idea, as well as what science says about the possibility of it being a reality. (The Myths and Modern Science of Reptilians) *** A nun who wasn't very good at being a nun ended up being a nun without a head. (The Headless Nun of Watton Priory) *** We've all been asked the question, “How do you want to die when it comes your time?” Aside from the boring but realistic answer of “quietly in my sleep” some would prefer to go out in a blaze of glory, doing something heroic to save a person or persons from imminent doom. 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! (Dumbest Deaths) *** In 1995 Mike Marcum got it in his head to build a time machine. Did he succeed? We may never know – because he disappeared without a trace.

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

Send us Fan MailVideo Version HEREIn 1974, a small house on Lindley Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut, became the centre of one of the most well-documented paranormal investigations in history.

In this episode of That Would Be Rad, we sink our teeth into one of the weirdest and most unsettling true stories we've ever covered: the Southend Werewolf.Picture this: a regular, easy-going guy from Essex named Bill Ramsey who spent almost forty years fighting something vicious that lived inside him. Out of nowhere he'd get hit with freezing cold chills, see a wolf staring back at him in the mirror, and then black out into these insane rages where he suddenly had crazy strength and acted like a straight-up animal. What began as a bizarre incident in his parents' garden when he was just nine years old spiraled into full-blown tabloid madness and eventually pulled in Ed and Lorraine Warren.Is it old-school folklore, straight-up demonic possession, a serious mental health thing, or some unholy mix of all three? This one really doesn't fit in any neat little box.What We Uncover in This Episode:Bill Ramsey's full story — starting with that insane 1952 garden episode as a kid where he ripped a fence post (concrete and all) out of the ground and chewed through wire with his teeth, all the way through the escalating nightmare of the 1980sThe notorious 1987 police station showdown in Southend where he fought a dozen cops on all fours, growling “The devil is in me…”A proper deep dive into werewolf history, from the Epic of Gilgamesh and King Lycaon all the way to medieval monster trials, the Beast of Gévaudan, and modern clinical lycanthropyHow the Warrens got pulled into the case, the intense 1989 exorcism with Bishop Robert McKenna, and the wild physical changes people swore they sawThe big debate: demonic animal spirit, psychological condition, hysterical strength, or something else entirelyWhat happened to Bill after the exorcism, his appearance on Sightings, and why this case still feels impossible to pin downWhy You NEED to Listen:If you're into episodes that feel like a proper paranormal thriller, this one's for you. Between my recent werewolf kick (thanks to Joe Abercrombie's The Devils, An American Werewolf in London, and Bad Moon), the edge-of-your-seat storytelling, and that lingering “what if this could actually happen to a normal person?” question - this might be one of our creepiest episodes yet. Fair warning: you might find yourself side-eyeing your backyard and mirrors for a while after this one.RAD WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR SHOW:JOIN OUR PATREON: Exclusive episodes, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes weirdness: patreon.com/thatwouldberadBUY US A COFFEE: Fuel our late-night research sessions — buymeacoffee.com/thatwouldberad ☕️CHECK OUT OUR MERCH: Grab official That Would Be Rad gear — thatwouldberad.myspreadshop.comSHOW INFO:

“My grandfather always taught me that 3:00 AM was the Devil's hour. At 3:15 Liz started screaming that her face was on fire. My grandfather turned his flashlight on her face and, as we all watched, three claw marks raked down her cheek and blood dripped onto her chest.” – Chris McKinnell, The Warren LegacyWhat would it be like to have grandparents that were also world-famous ghost hunters? Author Chris McKinnell (The Warren Legacy) knows because he is the grandson of Ed & Lorraine Warren, two of the most controversial paranormal investigators in history. In fact, they often referred to themselves as “demonologists”.In this wide-ranging interview, Richard and Chris discuss the Warren's early cases, how their approach was shaped by their religious beliefs, his terrifying first night as a “ghost hunter” – and the contact he has had with his grandparents following their deaths.Chris McKinnell grew up inside the cases that inspired The Conjuring universe. He was the first investigator on the ground in the Smurl haunting, which became the basis for Conjuring: Last Rites. He lived in the haunted funeral home featured in The Haunting in Connecticut. He is the only living witness to some of the most famous cases Ed and Lorraine Warren ever worked.Chris began his own unique journey of investigating the unknown at just sixteen, assisting his grandfather on a violent poltergeist case. Since then, he has worked on over 10,000 cases across six continents, helping families and communities confront the unexplained.Notes & Links: Buy The Warren Legacy by Chris McKinnell here https://www.chrismckinnell.com/book/ Support RHPB on Patreon here! https://patreon.com/RichardHatem?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Celebrate 2026 with 26% off all RHPB merch with offer code RHPB26!

When a reclusive miser turns up dead with an axe to the head, his family's buried secrets and bitter rivalries start spilling out, and no one walks away clean.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/CharlesHenryFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Ebeneezer Scrooge had nothing on a man named Charles Henry. Charles was miserly, and cruel. No doubt he had a long list of people who could've been accused of wanting him dead. *** When it comes to B-movie horror, you can't do much better than the 1958 classic “The Blob”. But don't believe it's just science fiction – reports have been coming for years of people in real life actually coming across some type of amorphous creatures very similar to what was originally seen on the big screen. *** The Conjuring, The Amityville Horror, Annabelle, and many other books and films have been based on Ed and Lorraine Warren and the stories they tell. 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.

¿Crees que conoces el verdadero terror tras las películas de The Conjuring? Piénsalo de nuevo. Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Relatos de Ultratumba, el rincón donde Doctor Escalofrío desentierra los expedientes más oscuros que la ciencia no puede explicar. Hoy nos adentramos en el que Ed y Lorraine Warren consideraron su caso más difícil, violento y aterrador: El Caso de la Familia Smurl.Mucho antes de que Hollywood adaptara sus investigaciones, la familia Smurl vivió un auténtico infierno en su casa de West Pittston, Pensilvania, que duró 15 largos años (1974-1989). Este no fue un simple caso de fantasmas o ruidos en la pared. Estamos hablando de acoso demoniaco en su estado más puro y violento.En este episodio detallado de nuestro podcast paranormal, analizaremos los fenómenos inexplicables que sufrió la familia: desde olores fétidos y apariciones aterradoras, hasta agresiones físicas y, lo más perturbador de todo, la documentación de violaciones y ataques sexuales perpetrados por entidades demoniacas (íncubos y súcubos) contra Jack Smurl y su hija.Los Expedientes Warren Desclasificados: ¿Qué encontraron realmente Ed y Lorraine al llegar a la casa Smurl? Desglosamos su investigación y sus intentos fallidos de limpieza espiritual.15 Años en el Infierno: La cronología de una pesadilla que destruyó la cordura y la fe de una familia corriente.El Demonio de West Pittston: Analizamos la naturaleza de la entidad que acechaba la propiedad y por qué se resistió a múltiples exorcismos.Verdad o Farsa: examinamos la controversia y el escepticismo que rodeó este caso mediático.
In this episode of "Jack Osbourne's The Most Haunted," we explore the chilling events that unfolded in a quiet Pennsylvania home in the late 1970s, where a family reported escalating supernatural activity, from strange smells and missing objects to violent physical attacks they believed were caused by multiple entities. With the involvement of Ed and Lorraine Warren, media attention, and conflicting conclusions from priests and skeptics, this case sits in an uncomfortable gray area between the paranormal, psychological explanations, and possible exaggeration. Decades later, the Smurl haunting remains one of the most debated and unresolved cases in modern paranormal history.
Drew had always been fascinated by the paranormal. Growing up in northeastern Pennsylvania, he lived not far from places that had drawn national attention from investigators like Ed and Lorraine Warren.But the strangest experiences didn't happen there. They happened years later in a quiet house on Maryland's eastern shore.At first the activity was subtle—strange sounds, distant conversations, footsteps when no one else was home. Then one day Drew's wife walked into their bedroom and saw something that changed how he looked at the house entirely.Someone was sitting on the edge of the bed.#RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ParanormalEncounter #TrueGhostStory #GhostInTheHouse #UnexplainedEncounters #HauntedBedroom #ParanormalStory #GhostlyVisitor #ApparitionLove real ghost stories?

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.

Connecticut may be small, but its paranormal reputation is enormous. In this episode, we explore the strange legacy of famed investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, the unsettling origins of the infamous Annabelle doll, and the haunted locations that helped shape New England's ghost lore. From the controversial Snedeker House and the White Lady of Union Cemetery to abandoned hospitals and the eerie legend of the Melon Heads, the state is packed with stories that blur the line between history and folklore. Whether born from real events, rumor, or fear of the unknown, Connecticut's legends prove that sometimes the strangest stories grow quietly in old houses, deep woods… and occasionally inside a locked glass case labeled “Do Not Open.”
In this fifth episode of The Skeptical Shaman's tenth, all-dude season, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with James Jude of James Jude Tarot and the LA Festival of Tarot : a client-facing tarot reader, teacher of all things tarot, and retired PR expert who worked on the Conjuring and Annabelle movie franchises (of all things)!Like Rachel, James started out as a non-believer in all things Woo, but slowly came around to the reality of the unseen world of spirit while working in PR for a series of major horror movies inspired by the real life events surrounding Ed and Lorraine Warren: the famous paranormal researchers at the center of the Annabelle, Amityville and the Enfield Poltergeist cases. James shares his on-set experiences, as well as conversations with skeptical observers, and how this evolved his perspective on all things Woo-- and supernatural.But it's not all demons, dolls or poltergeists! Rather, James found that these experiences drew him to the very supportive and not-at-all-scary world of tarot-- and he's since become a bonafide subject matter expert in all of the historical and technical aspects of this divinatory tool. James is EVERYTHING that the world of tarot needs: a perpetual student, inspired by limitless curiosity, who takes his craft-- and your tarot reading-- very, very seriously.

The Smurl family never expected their home to become the center of a national paranormal mystery. Over the course of more than a decade, they claimed their quiet duplex in West Pittston, Pennsylvania, became the stage for unexplained noises, violent incidents, and a growing sense that something unseen was watching them. As their story spread, it drew in priests, skeptics, and the famous demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, turning a private nightmare into a public spectacle. What followed would leave behind one of the most controversial haunting cases ever recorded, still argued about decades later.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/

Growing up in New England meant old houses and unexplained noises—but this one felt different. What started as small disturbances slowly became impossible to dismiss, leaving the family searching for answers within the faith they knew best.When those efforts failed, outside help was brought in quietly. The names Ed and Lorraine Warren surfaced not as public figures, but as a last resort. What followed was private, deliberate, and never meant to be discussed—especially by someone still very young.The house eventually grew quiet.But the experience didn't end there. It left behind a lasting shift in perception, an awareness that never fully faded, and the understanding that some encounters don't announce themselves loudly—or disappear completely when the noise stops.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #ParanormalExperience #HauntedHouse #TheWarrens #TrueHaunting #ExorcismStory #ParanormalWitness #HauntedNewEngland #LifeAfterHaunting #TrueGhostStoryLove real ghost stories?

Chad Hayes and his brother Carey wrote The Conjuring—a film with no sex, no blood, and two Christians as the heroes. It became one of the highest-grossing horror films of all time. What most people don't know is that the supernatural events didn't stop when the cameras turned off. Strange voices interrupted phone calls with Lorraine Warren. Objects moved on their own in the artifacts room. Chad's son fled the set after something started operating by itself in the dark. And that was just the beginning.In this episode, Chad shares what Lorraine Warren was really like, the moment on set when she walked up to a crew member and knew exactly what was tormenting him, and why he's spent the last two decades chasing true stories of demonic confrontation, from a possessed man chained to a wall in India to the haunted LaLaurie House in New Orleans where something pounded on a grown man's chest in the middle of the night. Chad opens up about all of it, plus his upcoming projects, why he believes the best horror movies are really love stories, and why he only tells stories where the devil loses.

At the last exorcism performed on David, Arne challenged the demon that was terrorizing David to come into him and take him instead. The night ended in peace, with David and Arne seemingly free from the demon's grasp, but famous Catholic paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren told Arne what a terrible idea this had been and warned him, and the Brookfield police, that there would certainly be more trouble ahead...If you'd like to support my escape to Indonesia, check out the GOFUNDME :) Audio engineering by Evette Darensbourg.

Darkness Radio Presents: The Smurl Haunting: When Ed and Lorraine Came To Town w/ Researcher/Journalist/Author, Maxim W. Furek! Called Pennsylvania's “Amityville Horror,” the Smurl family's nightmare of demonic possession is the subject of both the current motion picture, Conjuring: Last Rites, and this book. Venturing far beyond the West Pittston coal region, author Maxim W. Furek's narrative explores the dark crawlspaces of High Hopes, the Hinsdale House, the damned Welles House, and good and evil, as seen through the eyes of history's foremost exorcists and psychics, such as the mysterious Fr. Alphonsus Trabold O.F.M and Alexander Tanous. There was something of the supernatural channeling through Furek that inspired him to write this book. The 92-year-old West Pittston Smurl duplex was a half-hour drive from his home, and, during their 15-city book tour promoting The Haunted, the author befriended Ed and Lorraine Warren. And sadly, Furek met Annabelle handler Dan Rivera, the day before he died during the 2025 “Devils on the Run” Tour in Gettysburg.
