7 True Stories Behind The Conjuring Movies

2. Ed And Lorraine Warren

The Nun
Warner Bros.

The Movie:

In The Conjuring film franchise, the couple are prominent as the only investigators to enter the houses and cleanse them of the spirits, saving the families involved.

Most of the events that occurred however were a mix of effort from a range of psychic mediums and paranormal detectives.

The True Story:

Just like the movies, Lorraine is the strongest of the two and often sees spirits or the energy of the houses they investigate. Both were of Catholic faith and claimed their dedication to their belief gave them the power to fend off evil spirits.

Lorraine passed away last year at 92 years old.

They have released a multitude of books about their experiences and Lorraine was consulted by director James Wan throughout the making of the franchise. The events of the film however have showed the couple of a significantly younger age from the real stories, as played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga.
