Who were Ed and Lorraine Warren?

Ed and Lorraine Warren were American paranormal investigators known for examining alleged hauntings, including the Amityville incident. Ed, a World War II U.S. Navy veteran, described himself as a demonologist, while Lorraine claimed to be clairvoyant. Married in 1945, they founded the New England Society for Psychic Research in 1952. Their investigations later inspired the Conjuring horror film franchise.
