Lorraine Warren, now 87, said her approach to the paranormal world occurred in 1933, when she was 7 and was educated at a Catholic school for girls. "At that age I began to see the aura of people, since I was very small, I did not know what lights were, I remember saying to a nun of my school:" Your lights are brighter than those of the mother Superior, "And He replied: "What are you talking about? "So he sent me to penance to pray because I thought I was lying to him. At that moment I realized that it was a gift that only I had.This aura that people have is like an SOS warning It is not what you project, It is what you really are.I have sometimes seen this aura even in some pets and it is a very beautiful thing to describe As nobody in my family understood this gift, I had to keep this secret for a long time, until I met my husband Ed. "
Ed Warren, the son of a police officer who was born in Connecticut in 1926, confesses that during his childhood, between 5 and 12 years, a series of unexplained events occurred. At two or three o'clock in the morning, when all his family slept, the doors of his closet opened inexplicably and from it came floating lights with faces that looked at him. "The most common face was that of an angry old lady, since the room was full of icy cold and there were also footsteps and whispers, in a matter of minutes he was sleeping in his parents' bed, cuddling between the sheets. . "
When Ed Warren was 16 years old and worked as a usher in the Colonial Theater in Bridegport, he met Lorraine, who went to the movies every Wednesday accompanied by his mother. "One day we started talking and we became friends, he was the same age as me and one night I went to his house and asked him for an appointment." When we got engaged, I decided to tell her that I had seen ghosts and apparitions when I was a child, I thought I was going to laugh and I was going to take it for a madman, but she told me she also had a secret: She was a medium and clairvoyant, I, but I could also speak to them, and at that moment it seemed that fate had united us.
After Ed Warren entered the Navy, the two young men were married, and when Ed returned from WWII, the couple already had a daughter. Ed, taking advantage of his talent with brushes, during those years he dedicated himself to painting pictures of landscapes and ... haunted mansions. "We were a very curious young couple and we were attracted to those places where supposedly supernatural events were reported because we had similar things happened to us. At that time I sat in front of those houses and in my paintings drew frightening monsters and ghosts That came Doors and windows ... Then Lorena approached the owner of the house, who would have wondered for hours what these two young lunatics did there, and offered him if he wanted to buy the painting ... Lorena would say: My husband has painted this.Look what you have seen! "They said to me:" Oh, my God! "The incredible thing is that many owners of these houses, although they were horrified, we went in their houses to investigate. We saw such strange things that together with Lorraine we decided in 1952 to form the New England Society for Psychical Research, the first association dedicated to investigating ghosts and searching for demons.
Eventually, the Warren would travel around the world following the clues of various charmed places and giving talks. They inspected, in fact, Whitby Abbey, Stonehenge and the Borley Rectory in Essex, which has the reputation of being England's 'most enchanted house'. The couple did not charge for their services for the cases they were charged with and earned income only from the sale of Ed's paintings and the lectures they gave.
These two experienced investigators of paranormal phenomena attended during more than 50 years of trajectory more than 4 thousand cases related to ghosts, incidents of poltergeist, enchanted houses and diabolical possessions.
