Background
Ed is an American paranormal investigator and author associated with prominent cases of hauntings. He’s a World War II United States Navy veteran and former police officer who became a self-taught and self-professed demonologist, author and lecturer.
In 1952, he, along with his wife Lorraine, founded the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR). It is the oldest ghost hunting group in New England, and claim to have investigated over 100,000 claims of hauntings and other paranormal activity. According to their claims, the NESPR use a variety of different volunteers, such as medical doctors, researchers, police officers, nurses, college students, and even members of the clergy in their investigations.
Note: this is strictly based off the films and makes no judgments about the Warrens’ real-life activities.
He was a fraud..
Perhaps – but this and the writeup on Lorraine that’s coming are based on the Conjuring films and not the real-life Ed and Lorraine.
