Ed and Lorraine Warren are arguably the most well-known paranormal investigators on the
planet.
Their adventures into the strange and supernatural have inspired many a peculiar adaptation,
with the most recent being the Nun feature film, which involves a spirit that allegedly
haunted Lorraine Warren during one of the couple’s investigations.
For those fascinating with the cases they’ve taken on, you can get yourselves a very eerie
piece of their action by paying their Occult Museum a visit, and taking a look at all of
their findings that they’ve collected over the years.
For those of you who can’t travel to Monroe, Connecticut to check it out, we’re returning
to our list of the top 5 scary items at the Warren Occult Museum.
This time around, we’ll be focusing more so on the collections of items that the Warren’s
have at their museum rather than specific items like we discussed in our part one.
So with that in mind, let’s jump in!
5 Shrunken heads One of the most disturbing and fascinating
collections the Warrens have at their museum are their shrunken heads.
Often used for voodoo rituals, they claim that many of these heads have been defiled
by evil.
Shrunken heads, for those of you who don’t know, are severed human heads that have been
prepared in a particular way to be used for rituals, trophies or for trade purposes, often
associated with the act of headhunting in regions of the world like the Amazon rainforest
in various indigenous tribes.
They would also be used as a means of scaring off enemies.
4 Vampire Coffin While Vampires are often portrayed as sex
symbols in the movies and books, vampires in real life, if they do exist, are allegedly
much more dangerous.
Inside the museum, the Warrens have a coffin that is said to have been used by a real life
modern day vampire.
On its front there’s a gothic design, and a photograph of Ed taken upon retrieving the
coffin.
What do you guys think?
Is there a chance that vampires really exist?
Or are they just a fantasy?
There have been cases throughout history of humans drinking blood, claiming that the act
is ‘life sustaining’, but whether or not their anatomy is that of what a vampires is
has yet to actually be proven scientifically.
3 Masks The Warrens have a variety of strange and
obscure masks in their collection from all over the globe, including parts of Africa.
They’ve researched over 3500 cases, so naturally, they’ve come into contact with many a mask
with nefarious origins.
One mask was used as a topa for diabolical projection.
There are Voodoo masks accompanied by ritualistic objects.
Others have been possessed, and when someone puts the mask on, they risk becoming possessed
themselves.
Other masks have previously been possessed and no longer are, but are kept at the museum
for safe keeping.
Typically, the Warrens keep objects that are still possessed or have a risk of harming
humans locked within glass cases, so fear not friends.
Safety first though.
2 Psychic Photographs Psychic Photographs, according to Ed Warren,
are a fascinating phenomenon in which a camera manages to capture the electromagnetic energy
of a spirit, capturing either just the energy source of the apparition which depicts the
ghost’s spirits.
In other words, they’re photographs that have ghosts in them.
I quote, “the camera is an impartial witness.
It takes a picture of what it sees, it’s not something that’s made up.
There are many ways that pictures of ghosts can be taken.”
He goes on to say that a ghost can actually project its image onto the cameras film by
thinking of what it looks like by projecting it telepathically.
They bypass your physical eye and go into your mind’s eye, or your third eye.
Some of these photographs are “defiled by evil” according to the Warrens.
They have other photographs featured at the museum, too, depicting heinous acts of Satanism.
1 Child Tomb Stones Outside of the Warren museum, you can snap
a photo of yourself outside of a collection of tiny tombstones.
These tombstones, all of which previously belonged to deceased children, are said to
have been used as satanic alters in various rituals.
Throughout history, tombstones have been used as part of rituals in a practice that is often
referred to as satanic ritual abuse, and was considered a subject of moral panic in the
US during the 1980s that spread throughout parts of the world in the 90s, and was often
associated with individuals who had dissociative identity disorder.
It was also the focus of conspiracy theories in which SRA organizations, whose members
were allegedly wealthy and powerful individuals, would abduct children and use them for sacrifices,
as well as pornography and prostitution.
It’s not the only item that has ties to young children, either.
The Warrens also have a spike that was used to kill a baby by its own mother as a sacrifice
to the devil in an act of Satanism.
Creepy stuff.
