Sometimes money can be the motivator for lies or manipulation or for someone inserting themselves into a situation that otherwise they shouldn't be in. On top of that, many claim that it's possible that the paranormal events that they experienced were exaggerated. to make them more interesting, to make a more compelling book or a more compelling story. And that's not just a claim.

There are actually quotes that substantiate that. So the Smurl family, who we talked about before, they complained in 1986 about the attention that they received regarding their haunting. It just became so popular to write about and report on. But regardless, they did write a book with the Warrens that same year.

Philosophy professor Paul Kurtz claimed that the Warrens were, quote, "...not objective, independent, or impartial." He offered the Smurl family free psychiatric help and offered to investigate their home himself. Both the Smurls and the Warrens refused his help.

So some people find it weird that they're like complaining about the publication of their haunting, having it go essentially viral, but then also themselves writing a book for publishing and for monetization within the same year.

Yeah, but if you're feeling the claim is still a little rocky, let's go down that lane a little further. There's a few more examples. So the Warrens co-wrote a book on the haunting in Connecticut with Ray Garten titled In a Dark Place. In an interview with Horror Bound Magazine, Garten actually said this, quote, I found the accounts of the individual Snedekers did not quite mesh.

They couldn't keep their stories straight. I went to Ed with this problem, end quote. And so now he's quoting what Ed told him. So then, in response to that, Garton then said, So in essence... However you want to feel about this, they might have taken a few granules of truth from these encounters, from these stories. Right. But the rest seems to be made up.

Man, and this, okay, so we are taking this at face value. We got to put a lot of trust into Ray Garten. There's no reason why you wouldn't. But at the same time, just to play devil's advocate, you know, maybe this wasn't a direct quote. Maybe it was, right? Does this completely kill everything? Is it all made up? Or does Garten have something to say about this?
