Edward Warren Miney ( – ) [1] and Lorraine Rita Warren (née Moran; – ) [2][3] were American paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of alleged hauntings.
Starting in the 1950s, demonologist Ed Warren and clairvoyant Lorraine Warren worked as paranormal investigators on more than 10,000 cases of alleged hauntings.
Ed and Lorraine Warren learned about the Smurl haunting after seeing reports on television in 1986. Following their usual pattern, clairvoyant Lorraine Warren set about making a connection with the spirits on the premises, while Ed used religious means to rile up the unseen tormentors.
The Warrens were among the first paranormal investigators to visit the property. Ed Warren described it as a site of a “diabolical infestation.” Lorraine described it as one of the most terrifying experiences of her life, saying the darkness she felt there never left her.
Ed and Lorraine Warren were a husband-and-wife team who became world-renowned paranormal investigators following probes into high-profile cases like The Amityville Horror, the Annabelle doll, and certain spooky events that inspired the Conjuring series.
Ed and Lorraine Warren are a well-known couple in the paranormal industry of encountering haunted houses, dark entities, and possessed items and people. They were called on by families to investigate their houses for hauntings and demonic energy.
