The True Story Behind The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

7. A Haunting

The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do it
Warner Bros.

Upon returning to their family home, David Glatzel described in detail the old man's appearance to his family. The boy's mother Judy found this particularly out-of-character as her son was dyslexic and didn't usually articulate well, and so immediately believed him.

David claimed to see the old man standing at the end of the family's driveway, and described visions in which he saw the entity flying through the air and over the trees from the rental property to his own home.

The entire family later reported loud scratching sounds emitting from inside the walls of their home as David began to shout that the Old Man was present and would spend hours whispering to the boy in Latin.

The entity later appeared to David as he lay in bed, this time its withered faced was charred black and it walked on cloven feet. As it leaned over his bed and cackled maniacally, David allegedly began to scream that "the Beast" was trying to "take his soul."

Hi! The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a HUGE horror movie nut. A confirmed addict to the WhatCulture Horror YouTube channel I thought I'd try my luck on their writing team. I'm a wannabe author with one completed manuscript submitted to a few agents. Please cross your fingers for me! I am currently working on my second book. If you wanna talk horror or need any movie recommendations, I'm your man! Give me a follow on Instagram... since there doesn't seem to be a section for that in the "socials" tab @that_horror_nerd
