They had no idea what exactly they were dealing with, but they could all sense that it was something malevolent.

Bonnie and Sean knew they would need to keep their family safe from whatever this thing was.

And that's when Bonnie remembered hearing about a very famous pair of paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren.

She had first learned about them nearly 20 years earlier, in 1976.

That was when the Warrens were dealing with the well-known Amityville haunting involving the Lutz family.

And as you guys know, if you've been a listener to the show at all, you've heard about Ed and Lorraine Warren.

I mean, some of the biggest cases we've covered here, paranormal-wise, have been cases from their files.

But if you're not familiar for some reason, Ed, he was a very famous demonologist, and Lorraine was a clairvoyant and medium.

husband and wife duo in the paranormal world and they worked together for about 50 years and did a lot of investigating covered a lot of different cases they also created the new england society for psychic research or nesper which still exists today and over their career they claim to have investigated over 10 000 cases many of these cases files have not been released

And according to them, they never charged anything for their investigations.

Instead, they made their money by giving lectures and licensing their stories.

Their work, of course, has inspired the Conjuring movie universe, which is crazy, has grossed over $1 billion.

How about that?

That's nuts.

A billion dollar franchise.

That's got to be the biggest grossing horror franchise in history, right?

I would think so.

I can't imagine there's any others that come close to a billion.

I mean, I'm a huge lover of the Conjuring movie universe.

The Conjuring one will forever be my favorite.
