Ed and Lorraine Warren said they investigated 10,000 cases of the paranormal in their lifetime.  This episode is about a few of their lesser known cases.  Did you know they were asked to come in to West Point Academy to investigate weird happenings there?  In another case, Lorraine assisted a detective, giving clues that eventually allowed police to make an arrest.  And have you heard of the Exorcist?  This is a lesser known case of possession, that of a 16 year old girl who purchases a Ouija board, thinking it is only a game.  And a case you may have heard of is that of the Smurls haunting.  They had an evil presence in their home that followed them, even when they moved.  An unsanctioned exorcism was conducted, but did not help.  The Warrens helped to document this case and eventually the Vatican gave it's approval for an exorcism and the family was finally set free.
