Jeepers Creepers!Arne Johnson claimed that he was possessed by the devil when he stabbed his friend and landlord Alan Bono to death on February 16, 1981 in the sleepy town of Brookfield, CT. Prior to that, the affable 19 year old had been present at several exorcisms performed on his fiancé's little brother, David Glatzl. 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.
Welcome to Part 2 of our Film vs. Fact episode for The Conjuring: Last Rites. This time we'll examine the real story behind the film, weighing the film's most unsettling moments against eyewitness accounts and the Warrens' own claims.

Send us a textThis time Jay and Ken discuss another haunting tainted by the Warrens. The Smurl Haunting.
Dudleytown is internet royalty in the world of haunted places. Search the name and you'll find the “Village of the Damned,” a cursed valley where birds refuse to sing, colonists went mad in droves, and a Tudor-era beheading supposedly poisoned an entire bloodline. The Warrens called it demonically possessed. Ghost hunters sneak past the “Dark Entry” signs at night hoping to feel the silence press in on their ears.But the real story is stranger.hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistoryLINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

Randy and Dean Warren talk about the latest in professional bicycle racing. The Warren brothers emphasize how well American Andrew Strohmeyer is racing at the top level in European cyclocross racing. Randy and Dean mention the US Nationals winners and the recent Namur World Cup Race. Dutch rider Lucinda Brand has been on an absolute tear this year. The Warrens talk just a little bit about the 2026 Vuelta a España route preview and close with a stellar birthday list.
The White Lady of Easton isn't just a campfire tale. She steps into the road. She dents steel. And for some drivers on Route 59, she changes the color of the world itself.For decades, witnesses have reported a woman in white drifting out of Union Cemetery, a colonial burial ground with a reputation that spans from Connecticut folklore to the files of the Warrens. Police officers, firefighters, commuters… all describing the same figure, the same intersection, the same terrifying moment when she appears directly in front of a moving car.But the real story is stranger. And much older.In this episode, we dig into the history behind Union Cemetery, the tragedies tied to its stones, the possible identities of the White Lady, from grieving mothers to murdered brides to victims thrown into forgotten sinkholes, and the modern chaos that fame brought to this quiet New England town. Because while the legends grow, the dents in the cars, the arrests, and the vandalized graves tell a much more complicated story.A tale of grief, violence, folklore, and the intersection where the living and the dead keep meeting whether they want to or not. hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistoryLINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE The 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. It's the story of what it's like to inherit their war.

Episode 434: The Crew's confused on what counts as being part of “the Conjuring universe” while watching Michael Chaves' The Curse of La Llorona. The Warrens are completely absent, but the Annabelle doll and the priest from the first Annabelle film are present… so it counts here. And the franchise should welcome this film, it's a fast paced ghost/monster movie with some great acting.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE Long before Hollywood turned it into a franchise, the Conjuring house had a reputation that made even seasoned investigators hesitate at the front door. Ed and Lorraine Warren felt it instantly—an energy so charged, so undeniably alive, that Ed once joked their entire career could be defined by that single, sinister farmhouse. But the Conjuring house isn't folklore. It isn't fiction. And according to those who walk its floors today, whatever stirred there decades ago… never left. This episode of The Grave Talks features Eric Vitale of the New England Society for Paranormal Research—one of the rare investigators granted access to the home that shaped modern ghost lore. Eric takes us inside his recent investigation: the rooms that felt watched, the questions that went unanswered, and the moments that suggested the house itself still decides who gets too close. What happens when a living investigator steps into a place the Warrens once warned others to respect? And what, exactly, is waiting in the dark corners of the Conjuring house today? #ConjuringHouse #EdAndLorraineWarren #RealHauntings #ParanormalInvestigation #NESPR #EricVitale #HauntedHistory #GhostStories #TheGraveTalks #SupernaturalEncounters #DemonicInfestation #HauntedPlaces Love real ghost stories?

We pick back up in the midst of the group's current skirmish and ambush against an unending number of foes. It's a stressful and taxing fight on every level. As time passes and resources are exhausted, the group begins to make some headway, but their brief moment of reprieve is met with even more opposition. It's a numbers game, and the enemy has them in spades. Knowing this, they continue to fight their way through and into the city. Eventually, they finally see the end of this wave of assault and can stop, regroup, and assess their next movements. As Galahad gathers materials to bring back in exchange for his new belt and the group begins looting, Shanks heads to the sniper tower to investigate further and see what he can make of their assailant, and relays his findings to Zechs via the Spies Murmur. It's here that he stumbles into a trap laid out just for this occasion, a well-placed Alarm spell placed just at the foot of this perch in the path leading up to it, hidden well. There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed by Thomas Lapierre IIICheck out the show at themedusascascade.com
Hello Poison Friends! It was still Spooky Season while I was researching for this episode, so we are still on this spooky stuff! This week, I want to talk about a controversial couple who claimed to be self taught demonologists and paranormal experts. Ed and Lorraine Warren are famous for investigating such hauntings as those seen in the Conjuring series, Annabelle, and the Amityville haunting. These are not the only cases they worked on, but it is their most famous. You may have already noticed, but Adam is not with me today. He is sick with a not so fun cold, and one of my besties, Lynn Rockett has been kind enough to take his place for this episode. She knows horror movies like the ones we are mentioning so this will be fun. Annabelle, as many of you may already know, is considered to be a cursed or possessed doll with a violent history--if you believe the Warren's stories, at least. This doll has reportedly moved on its own, written ominous notes, somehow stained itself with what looks like blood, and has even attacked a select few directly and indirectly. One of the Warren's stories claims the doll has killed at least one person while in their possession. The Warrens also worked on the hauntings of he Perron in Rhode Island and a family in Enfield, England. The two separate incidents boasted similar happenings such as strange noises, moving furniture, and basic assault of those living in the homes. There are skeptics who believe the Warrens involvement in these cases were based on fraud, exaggeration, or straight up lies, so let's cover the details and witness accounts on all sides. Finally, we need to cover the Amityville haunting. Before we do, however, we need to briefly go over the DeFeo murders that took place in the house where the hauntings were said to have occurred. When the Lutz family moved in little over a year after the brutal crime that took place there, they started experiencing strange sensations and sounds. This escalated to phenomena such as levitation, swarms of flies, and smells and stains showing up in random places. Even this case had its skeptics however, and there were some interesting confessions that came later. The Warrens were well known for their paranormal investigations and their occult museum. It was not until after Ed's death, however, that some controversies worse than lies and fraud about demons and hauntings would come out, and much of the truth about them still feels hidden.

En este escalofriante episodio de De Todo Un Mucho, Martha Higareda y Yordi Rosado platican con Claudia Ramírez y Raiza Rebelles, integrantes de La Sociedad de las Pesadillas, sobre las historias más aterradoras que han investigado.
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Few names in paranormal history carry as much weight as Ed and Lorraine Warren — the pioneering investigators behind The Amityville Horror, The Conjuring, and The Enfield Poltergeist. Their work redefined how the world views hauntings, demonic possession, and the battle between good and evil. But their story didn't end with them. Their grandson, Christopher Edward McKinnell, continues their mission as head of The Warren Legacy Foundation for Paranormal Research. Growing up under the guidance of two of the most famous demonologists in history, Chris witnessed firsthand the courage, compassion, and danger that came with facing the supernatural. In this episode of The Grave Talks, Chris reveals what it was really like growing up with Ed and Lorraine Warren as grandparents, how accurate Hollywood's portrayals truly are, the shocking moment a bed flew off the ground during an investigation, and how the Warrens' infamous Occult Museum safely contains some of the world's darkest forces. Step into the legacy of the Warrens — where faith, fear, and the fight against evil are all in a day's work. #TheGraveTalks #EdAndLorraineWarren #ChristopherMcKinnell #WarrenLegacy #TheConjuring #AmityvilleHorror #RealHauntings #OccultMuseum #Demonology #TrueGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast Love real ghost stories?

The_Mystery_of_Mrs_Warrens_Key
When the Halloween season rolls in, few names cast a darker shadow than Ed and Lorraine Warren—the real-life ghost hunters behind The Conjuring, Amityville Horror, and Annabelle. Their stories have fueled decades of scary movies, haunted house legends, and late-night whispers. But how much of it was true… and how much was carefully crafted myth?This Terrifying & True deep dive unearths the real case files, skeptical investigations, and shocking contradictions that made the Warrens the most polarizing figures in paranormal history. We trace their rise from small-town “ghost chasers” to icons of spooky season, uncovering the faith, fear, and fortune that kept their names in the headlines—and on the silver screen.Along the way, we reveal the cultural moment that made them possible: the 1970s exorcism craze, the birth of modern demonology, and the national obsession with what hides beyond the veil.Inside this episodeOrigins & Methods: How the Warrens' haunted New England beginnings shaped their famous possession framework.Legendary Cases: Amityville, Annabelle, Enfield, and more—what they claimed versus what investigators found.Faith vs. Forensics: Photos, tapes, and testimony—what holds up and what falls apart under the light.Skeptics & Secrets: From Ray Garton to Joe Nickell, the critics who challenged the Warrens' every word.Legacy of Fear: How their cases built the blueprint for Hollywood horror and every spooky story that followed.If you're hunting for real-life horror stories, haunted history, and a chilling listen to carry you through Halloween night, step inside. The truth may be far stranger—and far scarier—than the movies ever showed.We're telling that story tonight.Check out more Terrifying & True episodes!https://www.weeklyspooky.com/categories/terrifying-true/
Steve, Jacob, and Joseph Warren of Financial Planning HQ join host Todd Marquardt talks about the highs and lows of a family business on this edition of Talk Law Radio.
They were the most famous ghost hunters in the world. A husband and wife who claimed to battle demons, investigate possessions, and protect families from the darkness beyond. But every haunting has two sides. In this special episode, we peel back the legend to uncover who Ed and Lorraine Warren really were. From their humble beginnings to their most infamous cases, we explore the uneasy space where faith, fame, and fear collide. Were they true seekers of the unknown, or storytellers who blurred the line between truth and performance until even they could not tell the difference? From Amityville to Annabelle to the Enfield Poltergeist, discover how the Warrens turned the paranormal into pop culture and left behind a mystery that refuses to die.

We'll examine the psychology that makes dolls so unsettling, uncover the real events behind the story, and look at how belief, media, and myth turned a children's toy into a global icon of fear.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)This chapter is sponsored by Scary Story Podcast.

For thirteen years, the Smurl family reported being terrorized by invisible forces in their Pennsylvania duplex - entities that threw their German Shepherd against walls, sexually assaulted both Jack and Janet, and somehow knew to hide whenever priests came to investigate. The Catholic Church sent multiple clergy who witnessed nothing, the Warrens recorded hours of supposed evidence, and neighbors threw bricks at the house during the media circus, but no one could definitively prove whether the Smurls were victims of a genuine haunting or something else entirely.

00:00:00 – Back to Shenanigans Mike and Cratchit open the Saturday show with coffee, jokes about writing a “book of forwards,” and a quick nod to the previous episode's deep-dive guest before settling in for clips, headlines, and weird news. 00:10:00 – Alex Jones Iso-palooza A rapid-fire romp through Alex Jones clips becomes a running gag—perfect ringtones and “quotes for the book”—setting a chaotic, comedic tone before the heavier stuff. 00:20:00 – The “Hitler Score” Thought Experiment Mike proposes a tongue-in-cheek metric to rate politicians' “Hitler percentage,” using it to critique lazy political labeling while cautioning that early details about the Charlie Kirk shooting are murky and easily weaponized. 00:30:00 – Evidence, Drones, and Media Spin They scrutinize the Kirk shooting footage—drones, CCTV, ballistics, missing round—arguing how low-quality clips invite cherry-picking. Bill Maher's “calm down” monologue gets a brief listen as they urge skepticism across the board. 00:40:00 – Atlantic Piece & Temperature Check Reacting to The Atlantic's “turning point” framing, they highlight calls for nonviolence from some allies, contrast it with heated rhetoric on both sides, and note how quickly narratives harden in the aftermath. 00:50:00 – Peter Thiel & The Antichrist (Techno-Theology Hour) A wild segment on Peter Thiel's private lecture series about the Antichrist spirals into “beast system” speculation—surveillance tech, Palantir, and Revelation vibes—equal parts curiosity, side-eye, and satire. 01:00:00 – Open Lines & Spicier Speculation Call-ins amplify theories around motives, confessions, who benefits, even Mossad rumors. The crew reminds listeners that lots of claims are unverified, with courts and discovery likely far off. 01:10:00 – Shooter Background & Timeline Holes They recap reported bio details, plane-tracking videos, and the still-missing bullet—asking how fast radicalization happens and whether early reporting is mixing facts with filler. 01:20:00 – Paranormal Real Estate Break: The Conjuring House “Money Pit 2: Amityville Edition?” The infamous Rhode Island farmhouse goes back on the block; jokes fly about museum-ifying it, while the Warrens' grandson calling the franchise “pure fantasy” gets a nod. 01:30:00 – FOI-Gate on the Loo (Australia) Bureaucrats vs. one notorious dumper: an office switches to 2-ply to stop chronic clogs, sparking toilet-timer jokes and a segue to proposals limiting freedom-of-information requests. Peak OBDM bathroom policy analysis. 01:40:00 – Space Oddity: 3I Atlas Turns Green The interstellar (or cometary?) object shifts color with cyanide off-gassing; the gang wonders aloud about alien probes, anti-tails, and what October observations might reveal. 01:50:00 – Smart Laundry Hack (Netherlands) Student washers get “jailbroken” for free loads; management locks the room; Mike and Cratchit dunk on default passwords and IoT negligence while praising old-school analog backups. 02:00:00 – Emotional Support Alligator & Sign-Off An ESA gator is banned from Walmart (shock!), and the show winds down with community plugs (Patreon, Discord) and a tease of digging up OBDM episode “zero.” Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research ▀▄▀▄▀ CONTACT LINKS ▀▄▀▄▀ ► Phone: 614-388-9109 ► Skype: ourbigdumbmouth ► Website: http://obdmpod.com ► Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/obdmpod ► Full Videos at Odysee: https://odysee.com/@obdm:0 ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/obdmpod ► Instagram: obdmpod ► Email: ourbigdumbmouth at gmail ► RSS: http://ourbigdumbmouth.libsyn.com/rss ► iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/our-big-dumb-mouth/id261189509?mt=2
