10I: A Spooky Night with Lorraine Warren

On Wednesday, October 30^th, at 8:00pm, Southern had the great pleasure of having ghost hunter Lorraine Warren at the Lyman Center. I myself, am a fan of ‘scary’ things and love to watch scary movies, so I was very interested in what she had to say and was excited about the presentation. Part of the topic of the night’s discussion was about the film "The Conjuring", which came out in July of this year, and was based on true cases of the Warren files.  Lorraine said that even if she was paid a million dollars, she would never set foot in that house ever again, that’s how much it completely terrified her. Lorraine and her late husband, Ed Warren, went all over and helped people with their paranormal and demonic forces that were haunting their homes and families.

The first part of the presentation, however was very interesting to me. Lorraine and her son in law, Tony, were showing pictures which captured images of ghosts or spirits in them. For example, there was one photo taken in a graveyard and you could see the outline of a woman’s face through the whiteness of the ghostly activity that was in the picture. All of the pictures were real and all of them had some sort of story behind what was being shown in the image. We were also shown an exorcism of a real man, who was also featured in the movie The Conjuring at one point, and it was thrilling to see how a real exorcism went down.

At 86 years old, Lorraine is a great storyteller and it amazes me that she loves what she does and still comes out to see people and talk to them about her experiences with the supernatural, demons, ghosts, ect! And overall, it was a very exciting and scary night for all who were there!
