Hey weirdos, I'm Ash. And I'm Elena. And this is Morbid. It is. I'm covered in soy sauce. You guys. No, I am. Did you not see? Mikey did not get that.

There's something for everyone.

0

89.722 - 106.987 Ash

I feel like we're very into these lately. They're nice, especially when we're recording, if they don't make sound. Yeah, because I had a dumpling that did make it sound like I was shitting myself. And Alina would look over at me and be like, ugh. And I'd be like, it's not me, it's the dumpling. I'm not shitting myself in the pod lab. God.

107.027 - 114.478 Ash

And she couldn't do it while we were recording, because you guys wouldn't have heard it. I think I probably did a couple times. Mikey either edited them out or did me dirty.

114.679 - 115.56

Ha ha ha!

116.182 - 142.026 Ash

I did a couple times, like, squeeze my dumpling, and it sounded like it farted. That's not a euphemism. I was going to say, what the fuck is going on right now? What is happening? No, it's a literal dumpling, you guys. Goddamn. All right, we're going to talk about a haunting today. You have shit to say other than that? Oh, yeah, I do. Oh, yeah, I do. So, I... There's... If you... Okay, hi.

142.046 - 156.921 Ash

You got this. You got this. I just didn't know how to start that. If you, you right there, are psyched about The Butcher Legacy, which, like, I am. You better be. I am. You can read an excerpt of a chapter of it.

Chapter 2: What strange occurrences did the Perron family experience after moving in?

383.318 - 411.566 Ash

Yeah, we'll get to the story. Mark down the number. I was just going to say, what's the time? Leave it in. Shady. I should also mention that I have a cold. So if my energy feels weird, I don't know what to tell you. And you know what? Mikey will do his best to make this not as shady as possible. I hope he leaves the shade in. Yeah, he'll leave some of it. He'll leave some of it. All right.

411.586 - 437.029 Ash

So we are going to be talking about the Perrin family haunting today, which apparently... apparently apparently was the inspiration for the conjuring movies oh like the first one at least dang yeah now weirdly enough from conjuring to this the story of the parent haunting begins with a simple catholic wedding oh shit yeah all right let's start there let's start at the

0

437.009 - 454.46 Ash

Like a lot of people in New England, Roger grew up in a devoutly Catholic household. We all know what that's like around here. Been there, done that. Mine wasn't devout. Mine was not devout. I knew a lot of Catholic biddies. Yeah. We got lots of Catholic biddies around here. Yeah, they're always running around. I don't know what they say.

0

454.48 - 469.024 Ash

But anyway, I was like, they're always running around saying like... They're just always running around. You know what they're always running around saying? They're always running around saying, and also with you. Yes, it's true. They're always saying Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. And all my saints and sisters. That's what my dad says. My grandpa.

469.004 - 488.001 Ash

Now, Carolyn grew up somewhat Christian, but she and her family really weren't, like, deeply steeped in religion by any means. And as she got older, she was really less interested in organized religion. But at the same time, she knew it was important to her husband and even more important to his mother. Oh. So she embraced Catholicism to keep the peace between herself and her new mother-in-law.

488.362 - 496.75 Ash

She said, sure, I'll have a Catholic wedding. Oof. Now, they wasted no time starting a family, and within a year, Carolyn was pregnant with their first child, Andrea.

497.19 - 497.29

Yeah.

497.27 - 511.162 Ash

Not long after Andrea was born, Carolyn was pregnant again, and it was obvious that if their family was going to continue to grow like this, they were going to need a bigger house. So they moved to Willimantic, Connecticut, which is a small city in the southeastern part of the state.

511.942 - 532.29 Ash

Over the next few years, they continued to grow and grow as a family, starting with Nancy, who was followed by Christine, and then Cynthia, and then finally April. Whoa. So five gals. Five gals. Oh, the dream. I hope I have five gals. I have three gals. I know. And it's Five sounds like a lot. You have five girls because you have the pups. That's true. Yeah, exactly.

Chapter 3: How did the family react to the escalating paranormal activity?

897.392 - 916.397 Ash

And according to Andrea, a list of minor and major infractions included a number of petty thefts, gangland assaults on the schoolyard playground, from vicious pranks to more threatening encounters with rumors of weapons involved. Damn. And things took a very serious turn when, again, according to Andrea, there was a, quote, attempted sexual assault on a young girl who...

0

916.377 - 941.907 Ash

who had been gagged and bound to playground equipment at their elementary school. What the fuck? Yeah, so shit was getting fucking gnarly. I say it again. Get it together. Get it together. What the fuck? Between 1970 and 1974, violent crime in Cumberland, Rhode Island, increased more than 60%. Whoa. So like this wasn't just a feeling that something weird was happening. It was back up.

0

942.148 - 944.734 Ash

Shit was going on. Yeah. And the city was becoming more dangerous.

0

945.175 - 945.516 Unknown

Damn.

0

945.536 - 958.06 Ash

So by the time the summer had come to an end, the traumatic events of the season, which were capped off by the death of the family's cat and a break in at their house. Oh, my God. It had all been way more than Carolyn could tolerate. Yeah, that's a lot.

958.52 - 972.933 Ash

When they had moved back to Rhode Island six years earlier, it was to put down roots to raise their family in a safe, quiet community with family nearby. But now this community did not feel safe. And the home and town had multiple tragic memories that Carolyn wanted to shield her kids from.

973.374 - 982.682 Ash

To make matters worse, with Roger out on the road more often than not, the growing stress and anxiety of all of this fell solely on Carolyn to manage. So she was just really going through it.

982.662 - 999.831 Ash

So finally, when Roger got back from a job that fall, she sat him down at the kitchen table and she basically said in no uncertain terms, she was straight up not having a good time in Cumberland, Rhode Island. I am not having a good time. Straight up not having a good time. Not killing it. She said, it's not for us out here in these streets.

999.851 - 1000.071 Elena

No.

Chapter 4: What role did Ed and Lorraine Warren play in the Perron family's haunting?

1048.852 - 1069.993 Ash

It's saying aura farming. Coming up with a term called aura farming. Wait, you know what? I am kind of obsessed with that. Stop caring. Whatever. You know what I'm obsessed with, though? What? Aura maxing. I need all the maxing to stop. I've heard too much maxing. You guys are all talking about fiber maxing. We are fiber maxing. I'm hearing idiots on the internet talking about looks maxing.

0

1070.033 - 1088.335 Ash

What's looks maxing? I'm hearing whatever the fucking, is it aura maxing? Aura maxing. Looks maxing is like apparently all these. Is that like a glow up? But it's like extreme, I think. Oh, fuck. Like crazy. I like Auramaxing. I think everyone just needs to chill the fuck out. What about chill out, max in, relax, and all cool? Shooting some b-ball outside of the school. Is that good?

0

1088.355 - 1101.432 Ash

Yeah, that is cool. All right. That's what I mean. Yeah, I was just going to say that Cumberland, Rhode Island was not Auramaxing at this time. It was not Auramaxing. In case there's any Gen Zs listening, let me translate that for you. Yeah. There was. Yeah, it was not Auramaxing.

1101.412 - 1120.332 Ash

So when Carolyn first made her case to Roger, he was like, I don't really know if we're in the financial position to do that. This feels very impulsive. And he was like, I also don't think a few bad experiences are sufficient enough reason to leave. She's like, it's the crime rate though. I was like, the home invasion? It's the crime rate.

0

1120.312 - 1122.594 Elena

Is the crime of it all upsetting to you, Roger?

1122.614 - 1138.53 Ash

Yeah, that would bum me out. So by the time they reached... By the time they got to bed that night, they reached an impasse. There was no immediate solution. And as far as Roger was concerned, he said there was no point in dwelling what they couldn't change. It's like, well, you can change your surroundings. You can change whatever you want to change.

1138.55 - 1146.218 Ash

You can change your hair and you can change your clothes and you can change your mind and that's the way it goes. Exactly. And after that... Ask Hillary. No, that's...

1146.198 - 1169.93 Elena

is that that's not hillary that's hannah no that's hillary that's hillary yeah you can change your mind no no no i was saying you can change your hair and you can change your clothes you can change your mind and that's the way so what is hillary's she says you can change your mind if you want you can act real tough But I've heard enough.

1170.211 - 1186.33 Ash

I'll trust you on this one. I know I'm right here. I know you're right here. And the Hannah Montana resurgence put that into my head. See, and I think I'm for the Hilary Duff resurgence. I had that on the brain. She's not resurging at this very moment. Hannah Montana is resurging at this very moment. I think Hilary's on
