The Conjuring was based on them, they were world famous ghost hunters, but they had two very dark secrets. Throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, all the way up to their deaths in the late 2000s, Ed and Lorraine Warren were world famous for hunting ghosts, spirits, and other supernatural entities. They were a fiercely religious married couple who claimed to be demonologists and mediums. The Amityville Horror was based on one of their cases. They were the owners of the Annabelle doll. They are the characters portrayed by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga in the Conjuring franchise. But they had a huge secret - their entire careers were a total scam. They were grifters. But wait...they had an even darker secret. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we delve into the bizarre and horrifying secret lives of the Warrens.
