Lorraine Warren one of the most well-known paranormal investigators died at the age of 92 in Monroe, Conn. She and her husband, Ed, traveled widely researching paranormal and occult phenomena, writing books and lecturing.
Lorraine Warren with her husband Ed Warren investigated haunted houses and other paranormal activity. The couple investigated more than 10,000 cases in the US and abroad, often writing about their experiences.
During their 61 years of marriage, the couple investigated more than 10,000 cases in the US and abroad. Their son-in-law, Tony Spera, and grandson, Chris McKinnell, said Mrs. Warren died in her sleep on Thursday night at her Connecticut home.
“She was a remarkable, loving, compassionate and giving soul,” Spera wrote.
How They Started It All
The Warrens founded the New England Society for Psychic Research in Monroe, Connecticut, in 1952 to investigate suspected hauntings. The society shared its own post mourning the passing of one of its founders.
The Warrens’ unusual profession has been credited with sparking popular interest in the paranormal, as well as the television shows and films now dedicated to the subject.
The Warrens’ thought that they could use their “gifts” and Catholic faith to help people who believed they were being tormented by ghosts or demons.
For more than half a century, religious authorities repeatedly called on them during outbreaks of demonic phenomena, including alleged cases of priests being possessed.
Mr. Warren died in 2006 and their son-in-law Spera now oversees the New England Society for Psychic Research.
The Warrens’ work did receive criticism from doubters over the years. Mrs. Warren told the Associated Press in a 2013 interview that she understood it was very difficult for people to accept she could see ghosts if they had never seen one themselves.
Lorraine Warren was actively involved in the making of The Conjuring, even visiting the set during production. The 2013 film The Conjuring is based on the couple’s investigation into alleged events at a Rhode Island farmhouse in the 1970s.
She laid the groundwork for numerous Hollywood films
