Life

Lorraine Warren (2013)

As a child, Ed Warren lived with his father in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in a house where apparently inexplicable phenomena were occurring. Since his father could not explain this to him, Warren began by his own account to deal with parapsychological phenomena . In 1943 he joined the United States Navy and served aboard a merchant navy ship in World War II . After his military service he attended an art school and painted sea scenes, landscapes and so-called haunted houses. He began to look specifically for “haunted houses” and paint them together with his wife Lorraine. One of these houses was the Ocean Born Mary House in Henniker , New Hampshire, later known through his investigations .

Ed Warren and his wife were the leading "haunted researchers" in the United States for over three decades, giving lectures on psychological topics at colleges and universities, including in 1972 at the West Point Military Academy .

During their career, the Warrens examined numerous haunted houses and other supposedly supernatural phenomena.
