I remember a movie about this family. Having grown up in a haunted house and had many paranormal experiences most of my life, it is really shameful that gawkers and scoffers just decide to harass families going through this. If you have never been through such horrific experiences, consider yourself blessed. Thanks for sharing this story Kody.

[@charlesmaximus9161]

Amen. They’ll never understand. I had similar experiences, Susan. I know exactly what you mean! God bless you. 🙏

The full movie is on KZbin. Still spooks me to this day.

[@NanaCbraun]

Yep! I’ve lived in a haunted house for 20+ yrs. Raised my kids there. There are 2 ghosts: an old man who just walks across the living room and up the stairs and a child about 5yo. He runs through out the house. He played with my kids. I put a mirror on the back splash of my kitchen sink so when I was doing dishes……again, I can see them running around. But I always counted 3 heads go giggling by! FYI I only have 2 kids! My son is autistic and he would be sitting facing a wall or corner and babbling and talking to ….air? and laugh! Like someone just told the best joke ever! Whenever I asked my daughter “what is he doing?” she would just say “the little boy that come to play with us everyday!” in a “duh” expression and attitude! But the old man usually only comes out at night when it’s quiet. I’d be on the couch reading and he would walk thru and I swear he would nod to me as he walked by and up the stair…..but only out of the corner of my eye, if I directly looked he’d disappear! I just made a deal with them, “don’t hurt or scare us and you can stay, piss me off and I’ll hire every priest, pastor, reverend, shaman, and psychic to get rid of you!” The boy hasn’t been seen in yrs since the kids grew up and long before graduating high school in 2014. Now my daughter, cousin and her wife with their daughter are gonna move in and they know the deal.

[@jimmyjoegarcia]

Those are friendly Spirits who dont know their dead so you wasent in any danger. Demons however do exist. We had a little ghost boy. Used to scare my mother to death. But he was completely harmless. Its been yrs since i hope he was able to pass on to heaven where he belongs with the lord. God bless.

I lived in an apartment one time and everyday for 2 weeks I came home and my closet door in my bedroom would be open when I was sure I closed it and the faucet in my kitchen would be on with the water running. I started getting weirded out thinking my apartment was haunted. Luckily I found out it was just the kitten I had at the time doing it.

[@thecelticdruid7707]

I watched the movie, the scene where Jack got attacked by the Demon frightened me so much I was to scared to walk home from my then girlfriends house.

[@The_Horror_Collector1]

That fact that it followed them when they went camping leads me to believe that it was the family that was haunted, not the house.

[@srdjanrikic978]

Or the haunting latched onto them so now instead of the house being haunted in the was the family

[@mikehunt4797]

Thinking you can just run away usually doesn't work in these type of situations.

[@tacticalmattfoley]

This is common in poltergeist activity.

[@chelseamoore6074]

Yes, demonic possession as opposed to demonic infestation. The exorcisms might have been more successful had they focused on the family members more than the structure itself.

[@9ner]

someone created a connection to that entity and it leeched onto them spreading to other family members. Although not a full possession, consciousness of the family and the demon are tethered until broken. The source of the initial contact is the strongest focal point, but a demon of great strength is not anchored to any particular area; rather its manifestation is generated by a host. I have seen this myself. It's disturbing.

[@LAJohn]

What angers me is when a new owner moves in and says " I didn't see or experience anything"... Lucky you, that means the activity was focused on the family and not the dwelling... Don't dismiss it, because you don't believe or haven't experienced it. Consider yourself blessed that such horror isn't being inflicted on you

[@Samahra01]

This is a fact. The demonic may inhabit a place at times but they're here to torment us and to go against God and his most beloved creation: us!

[@silvanaorizi5643]

Indeed!

[@chuckalakatoob]

It's like walking past a murderer and saying "well, he didn't kill me or do anything to me"

[@martinjunttila7360]

Its weird that its more common that Christians get haunted/possessed or Catholics, perhaps there is more behind it,perhaps the demons dont like Christians or Catholics...me myself are a pagan and it is rare that a pagan gets haunting very rare

[@tacobellalugosi2527]

They did a film it’s called A Hunting I do believe you can find it here on KZbin . I live a hour away from the house where this took place . My brother in law grew up in west Pittston same neighborhood and knew the next door neighbor and he said there was never anything crazy that went on there he said he spent many of night over at his buddies next door he said they where a very weird family. They would only come out of the house to go to places . But don’t know I wasn’t there !

[@charlesmaximus9161]

I noticed the sexual violation of Jack by the demon was never mentioned. That was a very important part of the account, as it demonstrates just how horrible and ghastly the demonic realm is. According to Ed Warren, Jack was mocked, laughed at, and berated about this part of their testimony by several interviewers. According to Carin, the youngest of the girls, this happened on multiple occasions.

[@w.r.carman3328]

I was wondering if the sexual assault on the Dad would be mentioned. I saw Jack mention the assault in an old interview. Not sure which show it was but probably the same time the book launched. I found it on you tube during a deep dive. It is difficult to find all the information because it is in strange places.

[@ccptube3468]

Sexual assault..!.!.. You think this demon can do a mean Bj....😁😁

[@matthews852]

Psychologists, priests, and other clergy were brought in and experienced absolutely nothing…Yet somehow the Warrens experienced it all, and managed to capitalize once again. Strange that every house they went into was haunted, and they found away to make $$…

[@virginiabalch6274]

Our family went through this about 10 years ago and unless you know what you are doing you should not try to handle it alone. Both my daughter and myself are sensitive and are able to see and talk to spirits but true demonic activity is very different and scary for most people. FYI the demonic crap makes me angry because they emprison innocent spirits and in order to free them certain things must be done correctly. While some confuse mean, or evil spirits. With demons there is a huge difference. I have found that true demons seem to exist in places with a lot of history especially negative history.

This movie terrified me as a kid. The dad getting sexually attacked stuck with me. Im sure if I watched it now it wouldnt bother me as much but also back then, the paranormal genre barely existed. At that time, the only paranormal shows i could find were Sightings and once in a blue moon, Unsolved Mysteries would broadcast a paranormal story.

[@cannibalcatgirl]

I’ve had a handful of paranormal experiences and each time it felt like being punched in the stomach. You can feel your brain racing for an explanation and then the adrenaline hits like a bus when you realize there genuinely isn’t one.

Have you ever considered that its all in your head and not an external phenomenon?

[@9ner]

It's incredibly frustrating stuff until it reaches a point of surreal ridiculousness defying any chance of coincidence. It's also incredible how these beings are able to jump from person to person and turn others against their targets. The inexplicable bouts of misfortune and nonsensical outbursts or dismay that plagues those affected is just terrible -- to the point of suicide. There is one director who has depicted this kind of relationship we have with the greater world, which is David Lynch. Lost Highway, Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive are great movies regarding this stuff. This subject matter must be taken more seriously if we are to uplift mankind.

[@brianslider5127]

Being from PA and actually living in Wilkes-Barre for a time I find these stories interesting. Thank you for doing them.

I used to live in a house with a poltergeist. It didn’t like me specially and tended to attempt to push me down stairs, turn lights off when I’m using the bathroom, rip covers off me, and cause me sleep paralysis. I’m not the only one who experienced it though. My friend’s little sister was terrified of one of the rooms and said there was a skeleton man in there. Cousins have seen things in the mirror and have been pushed. My mother experienced nightmares. We don’t live there anymore but man was it scary

Also was born and raised in PA, but some ways away and after these events had concluded. Didn't hear about it until years and years later when exploring my interests in the paranormal. As a witch and an inutitive, the spirit world is very real. Though I have, and hope, never encountered anything demonic, even just negative spirits can have a draining effect.

so much of what they experienced in that home is what we have experienced in my home. We have lived in our house for 54 years and pretty much ever since we moved in when I was a little girl, we have been experiencing things. Too many to write down. But yes, the mimicking of the voices is some thing that we have been hearing since I was small and it has followed us to other homes. It seems no matter where we move to. Every house is haunted, and the same things happen. We have seen several different spirits inside and outside of the house as well as being awakened by a large shadow figure that slithered down the wall and up my bed until I screamed and kicked my legs and it vanished. There are knocks on the walls that come in threes, scratches on outsides of doors and windows, white faces peaking around corners, my sister being flung against the wall continuously while in bed and my mother having to physically hold her to stop it and my son being frozen as he was dragged off his bed onto the floor and an entity floating outside a second story window. This is just to name a few instances from a few people. There are several guests who have been terrorized and many more instances of paranormal happenings. I am not a skeptic. This stuff exists and I am that someone who knows and lives with it. I often wonder if some people are just like magnets for the other worldly like my family. There has to be some explanation. Maybe one day it will stop. WISHFUL thinking! 😆

[@davuzo]

I experienced the same thing my whole life until a friend of mine told me to pray loud and ask for Jesus's protection. I wasn't a christian so i did not belive it would help, but when the knocking on the wall started again the same second i closed my eyes to sleep i gave it a try and it actually worked!! Ive tried being the boss saying out loud "Get out of here, you are not welcome here!" and it worked, but only for a while before it started again. After i prayed to jesus and asked for his protection i havent experienced it again so try it, even if u arent christian! worth a shot for you as well. Good Luck :)

Have you ever heard a loud crashing sound like a a china cabinet falling over and all of the glass shattering without finding any source for the sound? Had this happen as a teenager and still bothers me.

[@9ner]

well someone in your home is a host to it and should call out to Jesus Christ and save your family.

The first time a demon growled in my ear, i asked for help from Jesus and it stopped. But it returned and been with me for a decade now.

You can always tell if someone is from the valley or not by how they pronounce the local town names. 😂

[@catilyeverafter316]

I’m giving him some grace because PA’s got a lot of cities/towns with tricky pronunciations. I moved here 25 years ago and still mess up how I pronounce Lancaster as the state I came from had a Lancaster that put the stress on LAN-cass-ter. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hurricane Agnes was on June 22, 1972…My family was a victim of it. Great story and I believe every word of it considering myself and my family have experienced a demon in our house!!

[@katebarker1983]

This is amazing! Thank you so much! I recently visited New Orleans, and am wondering if you have thought of doing some stories based there? There is SO much strange energy there, and so many paranormal entities that reside in that area. I think it would be a really great listen! I love listening to your storytelling! You’re really good! I am hooked!

[@MysteryArchives]

Thank you Kate! I honestly think that's a fantastic idea! I'll try and find some stories there soon!

[@fatgirlfreestyle]

@@MysteryArchivesit has been done many times before but, the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville is interesting. There are lots of interesting places in New Orleans that are haunted, but, some of them are gimmicks to attract tourists. Our cemeteries are a wonderful sight to behold, though. The Lalaurie Mansion has an interesting history and I would like to see the story done without all of the nonsense. There’s also a hotel in New Orleans that was once St. Mary’s Academy. It’s the Bourbon Orleans Hotel and there are many stories about it being haunted. The Warehouse District is another area that has some great history. My apologies for rambling on but, New Orleans is my hometown, still live here and I have had so many experiences. It would be awesome to see you cover some of the hauntings here!

I remember being a kid and watching a movie based off of this story, it scared me to death! It was that movie, The Entity, and The Exorcist that got me so very interested in hauntings.

[@leighaking2012]

Another awesome job! Thanks again for the great content!

[@MysteryArchives]

Thank you Leigha ❤️

[@nancybode6159]

Another excellent story, well researched and well narrated. I do have to wonder, though, about the people who thought that the Smurls were concocting the story for money. If the situation provided the Smurls with money, the money would have been spent, thus making the "story for money" situation obvious. It doesn't seem like the Smurls' accusers were very insightful people. But once again, well done Kody!! I couldn't wait to watch this as soon as I got the notification. Thank you so much!!

[@MysteryArchives]

That's honestly a great point Nancy. Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MarvinHartmann452]

The Warrens sure know to come up good stories. Your reading was flawless, and even if don't believe in demons, I can tell that many of stories like this one involves young, disturbed teenagers, and moving in a new place can certainly be disturbing.

[@MysteryArchives]

Thank you for watching Marvin

[@hayley4415]

Ohhh this is so exciting!!! I'm from that town actually, and my mom not only went to school w the kids but also worked w one of the sisters wayyyy later in life, like about 10ish years ago maybe 🤔 Yea it's real, very real actually! Not only that but they had moved too from the original house to a different town bc u know how people are 🙄 , but the entitie(s)/attachments followed them to the new place....and when I first learned about this when I was in like 8th grade , my family would tell me how at night when walking by your see shit flying around in the windows and lights flickering on and off and things like that! That whole frickin area is pretty dark in my opinion, actually that's all of pa , again in my opinion lol

Always excited to see a haunted house story- but Should know better. Have had my own experiences, but the Smurls had some real evil and mean to deal with.

[@aaronhersey8466]

Wasn't there a TV movie made about haunting? The early 90s I think. I remember it being terrifying. Edit - The Haunted, 1991. Even though it's from the early 90s it's still pretty scary.

[@rupturedguts7328]

Yeah,I remember my mum rented it out from video shop,very good film at the time,also a horror buff. It's on KZbin but terrible quality, film I put on par with the entity.

[@marindaalba9340]

I lived across the river from this family, in Pittston. I knew about them growing up. My Sister dated a boy who lived next door to them and did hear noises and scary things. Also a girl that went to my church was friends with one of the girls and had slept over there once, and saw and heard things. ! I absolutely believe all of this. I enjoyed this video though because there were some things I didn't know.. or remember about the story cuz it was so long ago..such as they had twins in the house. And I had wondered what happened to them after they left so that was interesting as well !

[@BrooksBrown36830]

Great job on all these videos. You have a great voice for narration. One small edit on the Smurl family - they had four children, not six. It’s two older daughters and twin daughters.

[@MysteryArchives]

My sources must've been off then. It happens unfortunately! But thank you very much for your compliments. I appreciate them :)

[@scottnapkori4758]

I had the honor of teaching the two children of one the Smurl kids, whom is a middle aged adult now! When I say one of the nicest people I have ever met, understatement! But all refuse to discuss incident at all!

This was the first Ed and Lorraine Warren story I ever heard of. It was made into a made for TV movie in the early 90's.

It's hard 4 me to take this story seriously every time I hear Smurl. These ppl where haunted by their terrible last name.

[@EbenezerScrooge1843]

Well done on this video. Top notch. You've gained yourself a subscriber

[@AJPrice-cg5ip]

Well done! I read the book as a teenager...tore throughit in a couple of days and felt utterly drained and sick when I finished it. I really felt for that family. Personally, I wonder if the nonhuman entity arrived when the male ghost killed his wife and was hanged. That is a LOT of negative energy right there. Then it goes dormant until you get this family with 4 girls ALL old enough to provide extra psychic energy and a mom who might well be a medium without knowing it! Perfect psychic storm.

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

What is the name of the book, and who is the author?

[@AJPrice-cg5ip]

@@taraelizabethdensley9475 the name of the book is The Haunted. If you Google the title, and then put in the word book I think Amazon will pop up with a link that will have the author's name.

[@BaseballLover1984]

Great video! Thanks Kody I appreciate what you do. 🧡

[@ruvoodoo4862]

Great video Cody! 👍 Hadn't heard that much about the haunting before this video. IMO the demonic/evil entity most likely didn't have anything to do with the house. It was probably an attachment to the land itself. If this truly is the case there's no way to get rid of this entity from the home. There are human spirit's that could possibly be moved on to the other side but the house will always be haunted by the non-human spirit. Congratulations on making your dream come true!! I'm sure it feels a bit scary but I have faith that your do just fine. I just joined the channel and am looking forward to future creepy videos!! 😱😱👻👻👻👻👹👹👹

[@kare-n-hope1111]

It is true. Negative entities feed off of negative emotions. It is best to fill yourself with love and fill the room with this emotion. Send the demon love and acceptance. For he is only doing what it is created to do. Fear or anger will only make it stronger. If you have a nest as these people do, you must firmly but lovingly claim your space. I have a motto when dealing with the darkness... I look into the Devil's eyes and laugh, for he has no power over me, that I do not give him, of my own free will. 💜😉🤫
