What do you guys think Lorraine saw?


Ed says Lorraine locked herself in her room for 8 days without talking or eating. Just for sharing opinions, what do you guys think she saw that scared her so much?

I think she saw the devil.

I don't think she saw anything at all. The word of the Warrens is highly suspect, and unfortunately means that every case they ever investigated has to be considered false.

Totally agree. I don't think she saw anything, as she and her husband were/are both hucksters. I wouldn't believe a thing either of them said even if it came notarized.

Exactly. As a paranormal investigator, those two have always been a serious headache. It disturbs me just how many people blindly believe everything they say, and it makes it very difficult trying to actually accomplish anything. There is far too much false information out there, with too many gullible people.

The only Paranormal Investigator worthy of the title has to be incorruptible.

That means, they have to be open minded, able to be detached to the "obvious" and automatic assumption. Not led by ego, fame or wealth.

An independently wealthy scientific researcher rarely enters this field without a premise of wanting to believe.

You're absolutely correct! Though I would argue that wanting to believe is not as much of an issue if you check your biases. I can tell you honestly that in my investigations, I have very rarely come across anything that I can conclusively call genuine phenomenah, and even then, I cannot tell you conclusively what it means. More genuine research needs to be done in this field, and all of our assumptions need to be stripped down to nothing, and built back up through proper scrutiny. I am working on assembling a think tank to begin that process.

Money, lots of it, how to monetize the event and how to spend the money after.

What happened to the real Lorraine was when she was Amityville she saw and felt things that frightened her so much she never went back inside the house. This case takes place right after that. She really never spoke much about it but from all I've read and can understand is yes she saw the devil or a demon. I think it was the devil.

I had the pleasure of knowing her & Ed. I only met them a few times as a young child and I only remember just a few bits about them. I had no idea they were The Warrens until I saw started reading more about Amityville. I mentioned Ed & Lorainne to my dad and he said: "You know they were very good friends of my parents." I was shocked then suddenly remembered. I also have a memory of going to their home and seeing their daughter. I was pretty young though maybe 7 or 8. But, they were amazing people. My clearest memory funny enough is Lorraine offering me some cheese & crackers off a fancy plate. My grandparents never let me touch those places and Lorraine allowed me to pick one myself. The things kids remember lol

Anyway, here is the link. I know the relic she is speaking of too. It is said to be made from some wood of the cross Jesus died on. You see her speak of this relic on another documentary about Amityville. She shows it to the camera. She feels it kept her safe. She says she actual name of it in the documentary. It's called My Amityville Horror.

So this is why I think the evil she saw and felt was hell & the devil. The devil knew she had this relic. It may sound crazy to some and I understand that as I was not always religious myself but her strong faith kept her safe.

I will add my grandparents were never ones to speak about Ed & Lorraine's real jobs. My dad has since told me that my grandmother was very upset when people would talk bad about them. Since I found out they were at one point friends of the family I have read all I can on them including all the hateful negative things. One thing many do not know is they never received a dime for their investigations. They risked their safety and did it for free. They felt they had gifts from God. They would leave their home and go into places where families feld They got their money from speaking engagements at colleges and other places. But they never charged the families they helped at all. The cared about those they helped.

Update - I myself actually have a Padre Pio relic so I'm thinking she may be speaking of another one than the one I mentioned above about the wood from the cross. Ed & Lorainne were Catholic as were my grandparents. My grandmother gave me the Padre Pio relic which I think is similar to the one Lorraine mentions in the link above.

I don't know how to upload photos so here is a link to what mine looks like-
