Ed and lorraine warren books pdf download

What is the role of science in the study of the supernatural? What is parapsychology? What are the limits of the scientific approach to spirit phenomena? Where do the parapsychologist and demonologist part ways?

Certainly, Ed and Lorraine Warren will be the first to explain that all strange movements and activity are not the work of spirits, let alone the demonic. But it is wrong to believe that the legitimacy of spirit phenomena ultimately depends on the verdict of the scientific establishment. The supernatural is not a scientific subject, per se; its validity cannot be determined by scientific analysis alone.

True, spirit activity has been captured on film and other recording devices, but there is far more to the subject than observable phenomena. In fact, much of it has been collected under such rigid conditions as to make a lot of other scientific research look pale in comparison. For example, take a case Lorraine and I began investigating this past summer [] in Enfield, England, where inhuman spirit phenomena were in progress.

But you could film the levitations, teleportations, and dematerializations of people and objects that were happening there—not to mention the many hundreds of hours of tape recordings made of these spirit voices speaking out loud in the rooms.

The BBC was there separately filming the case, apparently for a television documentary. Although the scientist may be able to confirm unusual phenomena, he is really in no position to judge whether that activity is being caused by spirit agents. For this reason, the most appropriate role for science in the study of the supernatural is to show where strange events are not the work of spirits. Because, more often than not, natural explanations can be found for the occurrence of unusual activities in a home.

Faulty house wiring will cause lights to flicker or appliances to fail when the circuits are overloaded. And, people with paranoid tendencies will seize on any unusual activity to satisfy their fantasies. I know of one instance where these kinds of fakers bilked two women out of fifty thousand dollars!

Typically, the individual giving off this energy is under a great deal of stress. Frustrated or angry children are quite often the source of PK activity. No experiment has yet shown the human mind able to move weights of over two pounds. Demonic spirits, by contrast, regularly move furniture or appliances that would require two strong men to lift.

Now and then, electricity creates forces that bring about a suspension of gravity or other unusual effects near walls. Electrical baseboard heating can generate static electricity that may attract or levitate lightweight plastic or paper items. Inside the walls, steel pipes and other metal objects have been known to become magnetized, thus giving them the power to attract small nails or paper clips.

On those occasions when there is neither a human nor a physical explanation for strange events, then spirits do in fact tend to be the cause of the disturbance. And when spirits are at fault, then over half the time the activity can be attributed to inhuman spirit agencies. That tends to be the work of the parapsychologist, who studies unusual phenomena from the scientific point of view.

In the past, parapsychology received a lot of bad press because those who called themselves parapsychologists were often self-ordained experts waving mail- order degrees as credentials. Nowadays, though, the subject is a legitimate area of inquiry, being studied by accredited professionals in major universities and research organizations. As a result, the parapsychologist is often put in the contradictory position of analyzing the supernatural realm with principles that apply only to the natural realm.

In fact, as a rule, the parapsychologist does not believe in the existence of spirits—sometimes even to the point of being ridiculous. Just recently, for example, I was in a home where I knew a spirit was causing the trouble. I casually mentioned this to the head researcher on the project.

Well, no sooner did he say that, than a tissue box lifted up in the air, flew across the room, and hit him squarely in the head. Parapsychology gives no credence to the supernatural; whereas demonology is concerned only with supernatural events. Although both the parapsychologist and demonologist may investigate the same case, each tends to look at the same phenomena from entirely different perspectives.

The parapsychologist, in my experience, seems only concerned with his log book. He looks at people as being the source of the problem, and his job is to list and record as much phenomena as he can. And he jolly well better not go back to his superiors with an explanation that a ghost was behind the disturbance! If I satisfy myself that no spirit is involved, I leave.

Natural activity will go on aimlessly and eventually resolve itself. But supernatural disturbances take place for a reason.

The scientist may have spent months at a haunting site and nothing testable happens. The basis of our work is with people because most of the time, spirit activity is directed at people. We ask them why their feelings are so intense.

Other times, people will be oppressed to become prisoners in their house and never go outside. This is not normal behavior.

This is a big, burly man with a red belt in karate, an ex-Marine. That night when he handed me the keys, I asked him what he saw inside the house. Warren, you know what I saw. Activity will occur in circles, in reverse, counterclockwise, or in distinct violation of the laws of physics.

Stones, for instance, or nuts and bolts will fall out of the blue sky onto a home under demonic attack. These stones will come down with such force that they may actually penetrate the roof. We have seen the same downpour of stones happen inside a house as well.

Terrifying things, like innocent children becoming debased monsters with superhuman strength. Or adults suddenly aging overnight, or taking on features of the dead.

And many times, these effects are not totally reversible. Yes, these things happen! This is very real, very serious business. When the demonic is responsible for a disturbance, lives are often ruined. Once we learn about the problem, we immediately contact the principals involved. Naturally, time is of the essence. We are dealing with something quite capable of causing injury, even death.

I tape-record these interviews. I listen for certain clues and characteristics that distinguish the performance of the demonic spirit from other types of phenomena. Most spirit problems occur during the night, after the sun goes down. Has the family noticed odd smells in the house or quick fluctuations of temperature?

Often a spirit projects odors to signal its presence, or draws energy from the room, leaving it freezing cold. Have they heard noises that resemble the sound of a stranger in the house? Doors that slam by themselves, muted talking, heavy breathing, lights being switched on and off are strong indications of a spirit presence. Is the family awakened at specific hours of the night? Many times a spirit will re-create its own tragedy at the same time every day, usually at the moment its physical life was ended.

Is the family afraid to enter some particular room or area of the house? A human spirit will tend to remain in a room that was familiar to it in life; an inhuman spirit will dwell in an area of the house that it finds the most psychically hospitable. This is the most common way negative spirits are brought in. Those who encourage invisible entities to enter their home often draw in spirits of a kind they never knew existed.

Have they performed satanic or black witchcraft rituals? People may laugh about selling their soul to the devil, but the sorry fact is, it can be done —and quite easily, at that. Has anyone in the family been inside a haunted house? Have they been having realistic dreams or threatening nightmares that later come true? Many times, sudden knowledge of future events is a sign of a spirit presence.

Spirits often communicate to people through the dream state when the unconscious is open and receptive. Have they killed anyone, by accident or otherwise? The grave is not the end, and a ghost seeking revenge for an untimely death is sometimes capable of exacting its own form of justice.

Has a member of the family been in contact with someone who is possessed or who routinely performs occult rituals? More often than not, individuals who are possessed or engage in the black arts are surrounded by a multitude of spirits. A vulnerable person who comes in contact with the possessed—or even with a dabbler in the occult—risks coming under the influence of spirits himself, whether the influence is wanted or not.

Does anyone in the family know if he has been cursed? One of the worst cases of possession ever recorded by the Roman Catholic Church in America occurred in the s when a father cursed his own daughter to the devil. Have they seen objects move or levitate?

If they tell me a refrigerator has levitated, I know this is beyond the power of human PK. Have they seen things disappear? Have they seen objects move through walls? Have substances, objects, or animals manifested mysteriously? As for witnesses, most of the time other people see the activity besides Ed, myself, and the principals involved. In rare cases where communication with the entity is called for, a deep-trance medium may also come along.

If inhuman spirits seem to be behind the disturbance, then Ed will often bring along a priest or acolyte who wants firsthand experience with demoniacal phenomena. Later on, if the activity is being caused by inhuman powers, a local clergyman and an exorcist will be present as witnesses.

Since spirits are usually the last thing people think of, Ed and I are therefore the last ones to be called in. Emotions in a home will tend to trigger off phenomena. A happy home is therefore your best protection against invisible intruders. The same holds true for inhuman spirits—except in those instances, emotions would have to be very intense to draw in a negative demonic entity.

But in a great many cases we have investigated, the phenomena were invited in. As Ed explains, this is why the study of the demonic is a religious, not a scientific subject. People might not believe in God, but these spirits do. In when the Warrens delivered their very first public lecture, Ed and Lorraine had already spent twenty-two years researching and studying supernatural phenomena.

Yet, they had no idea everyday people were interested in hearing about their experiences. For mass audiences, Ed and Lorraine rationalized, the subject matter was too frightening. Besides, only those who had experienced the phenomena would be interested in the subject. Better leave well enough alone. The admission money would be a real boost to the scholarship drive.

On the appointed day, their paintings were lined up on easels across the stage. Nervously, Ed Warren, pointer in hand, unraveled the bizarre details of each case before a packed house. The talk went on for well over an hour. Although people were interested in hearing ghost stories, Ed and Lorraine Warren eventually found that they could not speak openly on demoniacal phenomena.

The subject was unpopular: it smacked of paradox and superstition—and offended the sensibilities of the time. Not everyone was ready to accept what the Warrens had to say. Then, for some strange reason, all that suddenly changed. Lorraine and I honestly assumed that educated people wanted to know the whole story on the subject of spirit phenomena.

When we had to mention demonic spirits, demonology, the devil— or worse, if we brought up Christ, or priests, or religion—a swell of animosity rose up from the audience, as though someone had thrown a switch.

The hostility was sometimes so overwhelming we could hardly go on. Although many were following what we were saying, others got up and walked out on us. It got to the point I considered going back to my studio and living a nice quiet life as an artist, while working with people who really needed help in spirit matters. We walked through the front door and into a quiet, tasteful lobby. An old, stooped-over priest with a cane was looking into a showcase at vases and other ornate Chinese objects.

I walked across the lobby to where he was standing. I explained my work to him, and he kept nodding in a knowing manner. Something you should know. She was a very intelligent-looking woman, over fifty, dressed in black robes. We introduced ourselves and I then told her about my conversation with the old priest downstairs. She smiled and nodded in the same way he had. The work you are doing has a purpose.

Things are going to change for you very soon. Sooner than you think! After she finished speaking, she gave me a very learned book on religious demonology and exorcism. But do you know, from that day on, when we went out to lecture and came to tell people about the existence of the demonic, there was no longer any ridicule.

It was as though a great weight had been lifted off me. All of a sudden, people became interested in what we were saying and began asking serious questions.

It was a major turnaround; and now, today, there is tremendous interest in the subject. The weather was a fitting end to a week in which nothing had gone right In fact, tensions had been building for Lorraine since the beginning of the month, and she knew something would soon have to give. Upon arriving in England, they would spend two days in London, honoring interview commitments with the BBC, then travel to Yorkshire, Edinburgh, the Scottish highlands near Loch Ness, and Stonehenge before returning to Southampton in July to lecture on the return passage.

Having made a dent into their U. My name is Foster, Mrs. Please call me back just as soon as you possibly can. Although it was A.

Lorraine hung up and dialed again. This time it sounded as though someone had picked up the receiver, but the phone still kept ringing. The third time she tried the telephone number, Lorraine got the same frustrating response. At a loss, Lorraine dialed the operator, who then dialed the number and met with the very same problem.

Understanding and helpful, the supervisor ran the call through a number of electronic test procedures, but to no avail. In fact, such electronic tricks are commonplace when a malevolent spirit is at work. Interference, obstruction, confusion—tactics which cause delay—are routine for a determined spirit with the ability to manipulate both physical and metaphysical variables.

The next morning, Sunday the fourteenth, the Warrens drove to church. On the way, a powerful, rank smell of excrement filled their car. Once again, as they were returning home in the car, they were nauseated by a disgusting stench. Ed and Lorraine, however, did not associate it with the demonic case they were about to investigate that afternoon.

When the Warrens returned from church, Lorraine immediately telephoned the Foster family. Foster answered the phone on the second ring. Lorraine told her the difficulty that she had reaching them the night before. I know, because I was waiting for you to call.

By two P. The Foster home was a typical Cape Cod house on a wooded plot where, Ed and Lorraine later discovered, the family had lived for the past thirteen years. All members of the family were present that afternoon. Al Foster, a phone company lineman, was a youthful looking thirty-five. They had not witnessed the phenomena, however. It had been experienced by their three children: Abby, fifteen; Joel, fourteen; and Hannah, eleven. Ed arranged his recording gear on a nearby table while Lorraine asked their permission to walk the house.

When the Warrens are working together, Lorraine will usually investigate the premises clairvoyantly, while Ed interviews the family.

Because clairvoyance is a sense ability like the other five, it is not possible for her to deny psychic input anymore than she can refuse to see or hear. Therefore, if there is a spirit presence in a home, chances are excellent that Lorraine will become aware of it. As she left the room, Ed began an extensive interview.

Both Mr. Foster made it clear that they had not experienced any of the phenomena their children talked about. Meg has always been interested in the occult—witchcraft, spells, that sort of thing. She has a small library, but none of the books were on conjuring.

So last Christmas, I bought her one on conjuring demons as a present. It explains how to conjure something like seventy-five different demons. It tells the correct ritual and explains the debt you pay if the ritual works. I only did a few of the easy rituals, the ones I could understand and had the equipment for.

When I did them, though, nothing happened. You had trouble, I believe? We stayed home because we had school the next day. Erin and Joel were already in bed. I went downstairs to make sure the doors were locked. I also turned off the radio and downstairs lights before I went back upstairs.

I turned them off. Then I heard the radio on again downstairs. The lights were on too! She was asleep in her bed. I asked if he turned the radio on downstairs. So I then went down and turned off the lights and radio a second time. This got me mad because I was sure Joel was doing it. But when I came out of the bathroom, the radio was on real loud and all the lights were on downstairs!

I turned off the radio and the lights again, but when I got halfway up the stairs, I felt an icy-cold hand touch me on the shoulder, just for a second in the dark. I just went right to my bedroom, shut the door and turned off the light. Before I got to my bed, though, I heard the sound of footsteps, like someone was walking out of my room into the hall. When I got in bed I lay down and closed my eyes. Suddenly, I heard a door downstairs slam real hard. After that I heard furniture being pushed around and crashing, like it was being thrown by somebody who was very mad.

It transformed the woman in unimaginable ways. After nearly a decade the family left a once beloved home behind though it will never leave them, as each remains haunted by a memory. This tale is an inspiring testament to the resilience of the human spirit on a pathway of discovery: an eternal journey for the living and the dead. Mostly a compilation of superstition and folklore, the book was taken very seriously at the time it was written in the 15th century and became a kind of spiritual law book used by judges to determine the guilt of the accused"--From publisher description.
