Hello horror fans - and welcome back to the scariest channel on YouTube - Top 5 Scary
Videos, the only place that you can find back to back dissemination of the dark underbelly
of the paranormal world.
As per usual - I’ll be your host Jack Finch, as we whir up the ancient VCR - brush off
the crud from those dusty old tapes and gasp in horror at what unfolds - and take a look
at The Top 5 Scary Cases Investigated By Ed and Lorraine Warren - Part Deux.
Roll the clip.
Thank you so much for the love that you guys gave to part one of this video - Kelly absolutely
knocked it out of the park with her break down of Ed and Lorraine Warren’s creepy
casework - but hold on there, because there’s still a little bit more that we couldn’t
quite squeeze in to part one.
Before we begin - you know how it is, hit that like button so you can make my day - and
make sure to hit that subscribe bell so you can stay up to date with our latest and most
terrifying uploads.
Now - if you’ve ever heard of the New England Society for Psychic Research - then you’re
definitely on the right track, because perhaps the most prolific paranormal investigators
of all time, Ed and Lorraine Warren - used this institution to spearhead their reportedly
ten thousand paranormal cases throughout their demon hunting career.
And while ten thousand might sound like an absolutely colossal number that we could break
down and dive into for years to come, unfortunately, there’s only a handful of substantially
evident cases left for us to discuss.
So without further delay, jumping in at Number 5 - the Trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson.
Also known as the Devil Made Me Do It Case - this is the first recorded court case in
United States history that used demonic possession as basis for a defendant's claim, that had
ultimately resulted in the first-degree manslaughter of Connecticut man, Alan Bono.
It began with the Glatzel family - after their 11-year old son David had allegedly been possessed
by a demonic beast who assaulted him in an attic.
This manifested itself as David began to experience night terrors - exhibit strange behaviour
and fall victim to unexplained wounds, scratches and bruises.
Of course - after calling upon the services of a Catholic priest and finding no resolution,
the family contacted Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Soon after, Lorraine witnessed a black mist around David - an apparent indication of demonic
involvement, as well as red hand marks around his neck - a demon choking him.
The Warrens attempted to perform three exorcisms on the boy - where, during one attempt, the
demon spoke out and said that David’s stepfather, Arne Johnson - would commit a murder when
the demonic host would go on to possess him itself.
Well, that’s exactly what happened - strangely enough - and Arne Johnson was convicted of
first degree manslaughter and sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison - he still maintains
that he was possessed by a demon to this day, despite the court not believing so.
Coming in at Number 4 - The Werewolf of London.
Well - that’s a title if I’ve ever heard one.
Do you know anything about lycanthropy?
The supernatural transformation of a person into a wolf?
On the other hand, scientifically speaking - defined as clinical lycanthropy - a rare
psychiatric disorder that involves the dilusion of beastial transformation - often exhibited
as - a wolf.
Meet Bill Ramsey - a London man, or wolf, who had allegedly demonstrated demonically
possessed lycan behaviour since the age of nine.
In 1983 - as a grown man - he admitted himself to an institution, desperate to get help for
his affliction.
According to Bill - he would display superhuman strength, and feel a rabid, frenzied urge
to bite his family and relatives, before succumbing to a strange seizure and convulsion.
While in hospital, Bill had an overwhelming craving for blood - and went on to attack
a nurse while barking like a dog.
A few years later - after being released from hospital, he went into a wolf-like rage and
attacked a police officer with superhuman force - it took six more police officers to
finally restrain the beast - leading to widespread news coverage and mass hysteria of a werewolf
in London.
Of course, this caught the attention of Ed and Lorraine - and they flew him out to Connecticut,
performed an exorcism on the wolf demon, and he was right as rain.
Job done, everyone’s a winner.
Allegedly.
Next up at Number 3 - The Warren’s Psychic Photography.
Although, admittedly, not a single case but an exhibition of quite a large number, a technique
that was woven by the Warren’s throughout their career as paranormal investigators.
Now, take this with a pinch of salt - because for those that oppose the Warren’s claims,
the majority of criticism comes from their specific technique of paranormal photography.
The vast majority of the Warren’s physical evidence comes from photography - wracking
up hundreds of ghost snaps that form the basis of their alleged paranormal evidence - which
must fit two specific instructions for it to make the grade - use an auto focus or fixed-focus
camera with an automatic flash - and the more power the flash, the better.
Supposedly, the more exposition of light, the more successful it will be to catch ghosts
- specifically under Lorraine’s technique, which pinpoints energy vortices and allows
a spirit to manifest itself.
They used this technique for the entirety of their career, and it never seemed to change
- but for me, it is probably the weakest part of their casework, and has the most holes
when it comes to credibility.
What do you guys think?
Swinging in at our Number 2 spot - Union Cemetery.
According to local legend, the Union Cemetery in Easton, Connecticut dates as far back as
the 1700s - and is infamous as one of the most haunted cemeteries in the entire United
States.
Luckily for them, then - that Ed and Lorraine Warren lived pretty much nextdoor to this
hotspot hive of haunted activity.
One of the most notorious ghosts in the graveyard is the White Lady - also known as the Lady
in White - a spirit tortured by the tragedy of her mortal life, in some legends the victim
of betrayal by her husband, in other cases, murdered by her illicit boyfriend.
Well - luckily for us, Ed Warren claimed to have captured footage of the White Lady on
camera.
He first recorded the White Lady on September 1st 1990 - at around 2:40 AM - when he heard
a woman weeping beyond the gravestones, looked out and saw hundreds of strange lights floating
around - which manifested into the figure of a young woman dressed in white with long
dark hair.
He screwed up when he walked towards the figure, though - and the ghost disappeared.
According to Ed’s advice, you never walk towards the ghost - you let the ghost come
towards you, because a human can change the molecular and magnetic field when a ghost
is materializing.
Sounds like crazy footage, right?
Well - unfortunately for us, Ed Warren refused to show evidence of this particular video
- instead hoarding it for himself, despite urges for it to be analyzed by the scientific
community.
And finally - coming in at our Number 1 spot - The Snedeker House.
Eh - this one is pretty messed up, even when you remove the paranormal element.
Otherwise known as A Haunting in Connecticut - which went on to inspire the Hollywood film
of the same name - although Ed and Lorraine reportedly detested the film for its historical
inaccuracy, claiming that so much more happened than what the film depicted.
According to them - the real story involved the Snedeker family, who purchased their family
home at a knockout price - due to it serving previously as, wait for it, a funeral home
and mortuary.
Yeah, you’re kind of just asking for it there really.
Not only that - but there was also a graveyard outside.
Yeah.
If you take local legend into account, the house was home to some pretty vile deeds - where
staff at the funeral home were rumoured to have been caught in acts of necrophilia - leading
to an infestation of malevolent spirits.
As events unfolded, the Snedeker family were terrorized by demonic occurrences - tap water
running with blood, children being mysteriously spun around by invisible forces - and the
family waking up to toe-tags attached to them like that of a corpse.
Now this case has been hotly disputed, and the Warren’s were famously criticized for
their involvement with the Snedeker family who were reportedly involved in some serious
drug and alcohol abuse, which formed the basis of their paranormal claims - rather than them
actually being terrorized by a demonic spirit.
Nevertheless, Ed and Lorraine stood by their involvement as one of the most terrifyingly
paranormal occurrences throughout their career - and Lorraine maintains this stance long
after Ed Warren’s passing.
Well - what do you guys think?
Do you believe that the Warrens truly hold a candle to the spirit realm?
Or would you rather believe their claims beside scientific evidence?
