Are Ed and Lorraine Warren Frauds? Unveiling the Real Story

[@Neenie1976]

I live 10 mins away from the Enfield haunting house. The warrens were told fuck off as far as I’m aware. They’re lying grifters.

[@karenshow1963]

LOL They were also told to buggar off from the Harrisville House (Conjuring House) infact, Ed was punched by the husband.

[@ElaineBakerCreepyCaboodle]

Yep, apparently they showed up uninvited and Ed told Maurice Grosse he could make him famous in the US (or Hollywood, I can't remember which now) after he told them he didn't need their help. He literally told them to go away and not come back 😂😂

[@iansmith1965]

Yeah, I heard that. That's why The Conjuring 2 The Enfield Case is complete bullshit. It's one thing to make a fictional horror film, but then another to claim "based on a true story". Sadly, very few horror films depict "real" events like they claim, possibly only "The Exorcist", which WAS based on true events that happened in Georgetown in 1949, and "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", on events in Austria in 1976.

Ok, before I read the comments or watch the video, I have to step up to my honest opinion...( not that anyone cares, I just need to document this). I have never once believed a word out of her mouth. I believe he just saw a cash cow and ran with it. Together they lied their way into fame. Let's see what you think.

[@SparkyTuttle]

​@@mrsgeek1, Dang, that was fast! All I can say, is after many years of helping people remove trouble ( paranormal in nature) from their homes, you tend to eye others who make that claim with caution. I think that's true of everyone...if you work in fast food, you watch others and judge them by your standards. So, everytime I saw them being raised up as such great whatever you want to call them, in my heart I knew they were lying. I turned 70 last August, which means I have done this for over 50 years. It is just hard on your soul. You have to protect yourself. But unlike now, I went with no gadgets except a Polaroid camera. That's why I love having these technologies explained because now, facts are facts. I had my feelings, my abilities and my faith. What made me stronger was the results. Now, if we can document positive results, then the truth can be seen by everyone. It will happen. I know what's out there but these fake folks push truth back into the shadows, everytime they open their mouths. I really love what you are doing. It's the light we all needed. I thank Shape for showing me what's possible. Then you, my across the pond people, thank you for everything. ❤

FINALLY, someone addresses this. The direct quotes from both former associates in the paranormal field and families they worked with have been directly quoted as saying they are con artists that are all about the clout and money that comes with it. I'll say that louder for the kids in the back: direct quotes can easily be found from people that worked for and with them since the early 70's. It's all info that is out there for research for any naysayer to double check on their own. Don't take our word for it, look it up, it's all out there. It's about time that this Ed and Lorraine stuff gets discussed intelligently. We HAVE to speak truthfully about the people we hold up in this space. These people made their name and a nice shiny penny or two off of the biggest grift there has ever been: the religious grift. None of this is to say that all of these things don't exist, it's just calling out tomfoolery when we can prove that as to not sully potential real concerns. Now, if only we'd do the same for the Anneliese Michel case. That poor woman wasn't "possessed," she was neglected and her downfall was religious psychosis exacerbated by mental illness.

I have made that same comment on other youtube videos , about the Michel case , and the vast majority of responses took the form of censure and rebuttal of my stance ; when , to me , it seems quite obvious that the poor girl was not possessed , but a mentally ill victim of abuse .

[@AlisonInCT1971]

I met Ed and Lorraine Warren back in the 90's. I live in Connecticut as did the two of them, and they were travelling the state doing lectures. My sister and I went to one they did in our town. They brought pictures and slides (I hope some of you young people know what those are) of "evidence" they captured on their cases. Not a single one of those pictures or slides showed anything remotely regarded as actual evidence of the paranormal. Typical glitches with old style cameras but that's all. They were trying to pass off glitches and bad lighting, and in one case, what looked like cigarette smoke as paranormal. I left there really disappointed (at the time). What a couple of frauds they were. I am still pissed I spent money to go! LOL Thank you Beardo for exposing these two.

I don't need to support my opinion in this comment, you explained for me. Thank you ! I wrote a comment on another channel earlier this morning, espousing the reasons I have never believed the Warrens. I'm in my 50's, so I've had this opinion for a while, and it's not been well liked. People love to love the Warrens, without actually researching the backgrounds of their case's or the experiences of the families involved. These people weren't simply harmless entertainers. They were f#cking dangerous. They caused harm. Case in point, the Connecticut haunting. The boy needed help, not a fucking exorcism. They also literally spent ONE day with the Peron family at the "Conjuring" house, and left the family, particularly the mother, in a far worse state than when they arrived. Just listen to Andrea, one of the daughter's, telling her story. It sounds like there were mental health concerns there too. Not addressed, ignored for fame and money. That is NOT "good people". I'm really pleased you did this video. It's not being disrespectful. It's honest. What's disrespectful is people abusing the trust, and creating further trauma, in the lives of vulnerable people!

I'm only 34 going on 35 years old and I started believing in the paranormal at an incredibly young age but...I'm also very logical. I know that the mind can play tricks like if I forget to fold my clothes and leave a pile of my washing on a chair or something I'll shat myself momentarily if I wake up and think I see someone "sitting" only to realize and mentally kick myself later. I've heard knocks and went "Oh...pipes...right...water heat." And Mental Illness is a first and foremost thing to think about when trying to decide what's going on when someone suddenly changes personality. I know for me it was Graves Disease...my thyroid went haywire and I was a hot mess...I'm guessing someone else might have thought possession... I didn't know who the Warren's were but I was also always a true crime junkie so when I heard about one of their cases I went digging...and then things unraveled from there.

They're fake, I even called them fake when they were alive. The day I found out who they were, they were doing a 'supposed' reading on a haunted house. Nothing she or he did that is anything remotely like what a real reader/medium does. As this what Lorraine claimed. They looked at this place like it was a viewing for a really crap exhibit. They then just whipped out their bibles and started praying! I saw this footage when KZbin was but a baby and probably no longer on here. Thanks Beardo.

[@KennyBiddle]

Enjoyed the video. I have a few comments...information to add. Amityville - The Warrens were there one night, I believe. A night that was set up by a local news station. The photo of the "boy" is actually Paul Bartz, Ed & Lorraine's agent. Annabelle - in their first book, The Demonologists, quotes Ed Warran saying the doll was not possessed. It never was. It was just a tool used by the alleged demon. So there's no reason it needs to be kept in an easily breakable glass case. Snedeker Case - Lorainne claimed the funeral home employees engaged in necrophilia, not necromancy. Lorainne literally accused a longtime funeral home of criminal activity without a shred of evidence. This is in the book, In A Dark Place, when Lorraine was on the basement stairs and claimed to see an apparition that talked about "cold, firm bodies." I find this claim by Lorraine so freaking horrible...tarnishing the reputation of a person without a care for the consequences.

I've read an article about them. Beardo is right, the Warrens seemingly were good actors, but they were as magical as a new hammer.

I’m so glad you covered this subject Beardo. The Warrens have always been so divisive within the paranormal community. It annoys me when some peoples only reference, in regards to them, is from the movie portrayals I heard the story some years ago about Judith Penney and that Ed had her dress up as the ” The Lady in White” and run through the Union Cemetery . Lorraine’s motivation may have been entrenched in her religious beliefs. But! Ed’s were purely monetary

[@bunnymad5049]

I always felt they were fake, (that sounds so big-headed, but not meant like that! lol) so I appreciate the research you've done.

They were great storytellers, A couple that managed to create larger than life characters that went through extraordinarily horrible investigations. Bottom line is the evidence points clearly to the fact that that is what they were... just stories. But in the end that is really a sort of a tragedy because those stories and their work are actually the"foundation" for most of the teams creating "paranormal" content nowadays. And like them, in the end, the vast majority is just that... spinning stories to create "interesting" content.

One thing you missed is the group that actually investigated "The Conjuring" never invited Ed and Lorraine. One of their members went to a lecture given by Ed and Loraine and mentioned they had an investigation scheduled and that the Warrens might want to schedule their own, only to have the Warrens show up at this other groups investigation and try to take it over. I wish I could remember the groups name or the website I first learned about it from, but that was just before the movie was released and as I've gotten past 50yrs my memory has started going some (Wife claims it's because I keep stuffing more information in there.)

Much like @SparkyTuttle, I thought I’d share my thoughts about Ed and Loraine Warren before watching this video. I’ve always felt that Loraine probably did genuinely have a gift. Maybe it’s not to the degree that it’s always been portrayed, maybe it is that intense… I don’t know. But, if Ed told me the sky was blue, I’d have to go outside and see it for myself. I don’t believe he ever did a thing that wasn’t some sort of scam, and I believe he used his wife’s gift to enact said scams. I also believe that Loraine went along with it because he was her husband and things were very different within a marriage back then. They grew up during the times when women didn’t dare go against or challenge their husbands in any way. As a woman, you simply did what you were told and you didn’t question it. I don’t think she was necessarily scared of him or anything like that, I just think she did what was expected of her as a wife. Maybe I’m completely wrong and they’re both complete scammers, and she was just as much in on it as he was, if not more. I guess it’s time to find out.

Why not take the Anna Bell doll home and let her live there for a week Nothing bad will happen for sure

[@beardogetsscared]

I've saidnit before and I'll.say it again..I'd insult that doll. I'd lick that doll and walk.away happy. If I die then at least o onow it was real. If I don't I was right about the Warren's. Win win situation lol

[@just-a-cupcake]

See, again, I think they started out legit. I've followed all their cases. And Lorraine was really a sweet woman on Paranormal State. But their son Tony is just a fraud, milking his parents' name. Has anyone seen the channel TFIL? I'm fairly new to paranormal channels on KZbin & I came across their channel. Apparently they'll plant a tree if you become a member, while also being ghost hunters.

[@mrsgeek1]

I think TFIL are linked to Sam and Colby, but don’t quote me, I have to ask my daughter as she has watched them all since she was small. 😅

[@just-a-cupcake]

@@mrsgeek1 OK, thanks!

[@just-a-cupcake]

I've never watched a Sam & Colby episode.

[@mrsgeek1]

@@just-a-cupcake I have, but the daughter watches for entertainment, she knows it’s not real paranormal. She’s 20 this month, and has always been interested in the paranormal. Because she’s experienced it herself from small though, she knows what’s real and what isn’t. They are great entertainers (for teenagers mainly). TFIL do actually do a lot for charity though.

[@just-a-cupcake]

@mrsgeek1 That's good to know that they are legit charity wise!

Once again great video Beardo!!!! maybe a retrospective on Gabriele Amorth next?

[@RichardWatt]

According to The Why? Files episode on the Warrens, Judith says she was offered money by the movie studio for her life story but no movie has been started yet.

[@angelabrown9729]

I would love to hear your thoughts on David Icke

[@Eleebelle]

A very well narrated script... an amazing video made with great maturity... when i first read the title was kind of worried about how it will come out... but as always Beardo mate... it was a good one

[@Ghoul-w5u]

Aside from that I watched the first Annabelle movie alone in my apartment at night in the dark and that movie petrified me, I had at the time 2 very young daughters and that movie scared me and I have yet to be able to watch it again. To put this in perspective I watched it alone shortly after it was released onto DVD, I haven't ever rewatched the first Annabelle.

[@louisbruh7026]

When people where sleeping , there came a noise from a playing doll , people where in shock calling in the night bumpa bumpa and nobody was downstairs ...

Also I like to say my friend Chad his wife grew up near the Amityville house never once they said about scary he was a drug addict and that's that !41 yrs later no activity so it was a joke

[@lbjcb5]

See I have mixed feeling about this couple. Yes, they definitely exaggerated and were not like thier movie counterparts, however it's because of them that the paranormal field has grown. One caveat - I do not agree with all they did, their character, or all people in the paranormal field.

[@mrsgeek1]

Me too! I’m half and half lol

[@SimplySammyK]

6:07 -- Annabelle in the films has always disappointed me because I heard the real account that became popular because of reddit many years ago before the films were even created. Someone asked (title might be off as i don't remember the exact title) "What creepy experience have toy had that still haunts you to this day?" -- In which the nurse herself mentions the raggedy Anne doll her mum bought her, she stated how her at the time boyfriend really hated the doll and though it was creepy. They all noticed weird things would happen throughout the apparent and the doll would constantly move so they got in a psychic who ACTUALLY said "there is a spirit of a little girl here who is lost and cant find her way home" and was looking at the nurses for protection, she FOOLISHLY gave the doll as a vessel calling her "Annabelle" so no only would she have a body and be held but she now had a name. After that it escalated, the boyfriend would find pins and knifes under his pillow, he threw the doll out and it came back no one knowing he actually binned her, same night he claimed the doll was on him trying to strangle him so he left her. theres some more to it but not much more, the story they told in the films was nowhere near what was ACTUALLY stated by the woman who owned the doll.. of course when the Warrens went in(which was noted in the original story) they said it wasn't a child at all and infact was a demon, they did a cleansing and took the doll.

[@kathylynnkinzel3581]

Thank you for being bold enough to cover this. It’s about time they are knocked off their proverbial pedestals.

I noticed a few times they got the spirits haunting places wrong....and claimed it was something else compared to the people or families who live through the actual haunting in their house...🙄

[@John_Smith_60]

They were known to get the places wrong, too. Lorraine once claimed she could feel the evil from the "Amityville Horror" house, except it was a house several houses away from the "Amityville Horror" house.

I attended a Halloween special they had years ago ...I bought tickets and me and my niece attended. They were very nice people and showed us a video they caught of the white lady in the cemetery.

[@modestoca25]

I can imagine the amount of hate comments you're going to get over this but I have come to a similar conclusion that they are scam artists and made a career out of all this. I think what bothers me the most is Lorraine's pretending to be this wholesome religious woman...

[@ceceyoung7462]

[@beardogetsscared]

Appreciate that thank you

[@RAM-kj7eu]

When paranormal tv shows became popular like ghost hunters, people on the shows started mentioning them as iconic. Now it’s just assumed they were famous. They weren’t. Stephen King made the Amityville story famous. The Warrens , specifically Ed, were selling the idea that Ed was called upon for difficult exorcisms by the Catholic Church. That they knew people in high places. That was their scheme.They were mocked and ridiculed for their claims. Now everyone thinks they were always popular due to the Sam and Colby’s and other you tubers like overnight, and paranormal files.

[@AnitaCain..]

You don't know how much I appreciate this video. They appear to have been not on the up and up. For a very long time there has been something that was unsaid about this couple. Finally truth is coming out about.

[@harley8047]

You should look into the Warrens' case where the *Exercise* a werewolf. It was more that the Warrens said he was possessed by a wolf like spirit or whatever, offered to help the guy by flying him to America for an exercism and paid for it by offering exclusive rights to the guy's story to a tabloid. I can see why they probably didn't make a movie outta that one, but i kinda wanna see 'The Warrens vs. The Wolfman!'

[@winterswind9182]

They weren’t even invited to the conjuring house.

[@laurencerushton3544]

A great summary fellow greybeard. Although, you missed one pointing out that they supressed the truth behind their most famous 'evidence': The child by the staircase photo in the Defeo was actually one of the team members from when he was setting up the cameras.

[@ButterflyAngel2517]

Before I even watch this. They were frauds

[@LowejaDogs]

You are correct, no actual 'proof' Annabell moved, no video exists. The point is at the end of the day they were con-artists with help from others. A great way to make money with a bit of fame,

Good work, Sir Bro-dude. (😂sorry) A bright light shines on this famous couple. As for respect for the dead, you were very kind.

Lol, we know and loved them thoughx 😢❤ my point is, just because someone is dead, doesn’t mean that they were perfect in life. We are all human (I think….) and the truth is always the best. Tell the whole story of those who have gone before. The good and the bad. Great video 👍🏽
