In this first (and very chilling) episode, we dive deep into one of the most controversial and terrifying hauntings in American history — The Smurl Haunting. The Smurl haunting was so horrifying in fact, that the final Conjuring movie (The Conjuring: Last Rites) is based off of this very haunting... Set in West Pittston, Pennsylvania, the Smurl family's quiet life was turned upside down in the 1970s and '80s when they claimed their duplex became the site of relentless paranormal torment. From strange noises and foul smells to violent attacks and demonic apparitions, the case quickly drew national attention.We’ll explore the timeline of events, the involvement of famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, the skepticism from investigators and clergy, and the psychological toll it took on the family. Was it truly a case of demonic infestation, or was there something else at play?Join us as we separate fact from folklore and uncover the mystery behind the Smurl Haunting — a story that still haunts the paranormal community to this day.[Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of alleged physical and psychological abuse, as well as demonic themes.
