The Conjuring Page #3

Fear is defined as a feeling

of agitation and anxiety...

caused by the presence

or eminence of danger.

Whether it's ghost, spirit or

an entity, they all feed on it.

Take Maurice here.

He's a French-Canadian farmer, had nothing

more than third-grade education.

Yet after he was possessed, spoke some

of the best Latin I've ever heard.

Sometime backwards.

He's been molested by his father, who

also tortured him repeatedly.

A dark spirit made its

home in this man.

Now, If you look into his eyes,

you can see him tearing blood.

And, like that, an upside down cross

started to appear from within his body.

Drew, can you hit the lights?

- Do you personally perform the exorcism?

- No, I'm not authorized.

But I've assisted on many, see

an exorcism can be very dangerous,

not only for the victim, but

for anyone in the room.

- So, what happened to Maurice?

- Well, he tried to kill his wife.

But instead he shot her in the arm

and he turned the gun onto himself.

Maurice had a very

troubled life..

With little to live for.

It not even an exorcist

could bring him back.

Which brings us to the three

stages of demonic activity:

Infestation, oppression,

and possession.

The infestation that's... that's the whisperings,

the footsteps, the feeling of another presence.

Which ultimately grows into

oppression, the second stage.

And this is where the

victim, and it's usually

the one who's the most

psychologically vulnerable.

It's targeted specifically

by an external force.

Breaks the victims down,

crushes their wills.

And once in a weaken state... leads

into the third and final stage, possession.

- Hey Ed! Lorraine!

- Yeah.

- There's someone here that would

like to talk to you. - Oh, hi?

- Thank you.

- Sure, I'll see you later.

How can we help you?

There is something horrible

happening in my house.

Could you come take a look?

You know, uh... It's getting kind of

late, we really need to be heading home.

- No, you don't understand.

- Owh but we do.

As usual, some sort of rational

- explanation.. - I have 5 daughters

who are scared to death.

I'm so afraid this

thing wants to hurt us.

You have a daughter,

won't you do anything

you could to protect her?

Please! Please can you

come and take a look?

Of course we will.

Of course we will.

Come on, Jen. Open up.

Jen, what happened? The top of your head

turned black?

Hey, would you guys turn it off?

Thanks.

Silly. The wig.

- Hello! - Hi.

Thanks for coming.

- Hi. I'm Roger.

- Lorraine.

It's nice to meet you, Roger.

Ed Warren.

- Thanks for coming.

- Please, come in.

Thank you.

So...

Oh, my god! Look at you all. Who

are these beautiful young women?

It's Andrea, the oldest. Nancy,

Cindy, Christine and April.

Mr. and Mrs. Warren.

We... we all sleeping down here now.

The girls feel safer and it's warmer.

I'm constantly turning up the heat

but the house is always freezing.

It's not the problem with the furnace

though I mean, not that I can find.

It's gotten a lot, worst

the past few nights.

There this...

The awful smell like rotting meat...

that moves around the house.

Uh...

What? What is it?

Well, the rancid smell could... indicate

some type of demonic activities.

Oh, my God!

Oh, that's to keep those

doors from banging at night.

Otherwise it's like...

All night long, just like that.

Does it comes in 3's?

- Yeah.

- Stops at dawn?

Uh-huh.

Sometimes it meant as an

insult to the Trinity.

Father, the Son and

the Holy Spirit.

You know, there's the

damnest thing, but...

we also get all kinds of

birds that were just flying

against the sides of the house

and break their necks.

- Huh! Really?

- And the clock stopped at 3:07 AM.

- All of them?

- Every one.

Oh...

We were hanging those

along the stair.

Something just kept knocking them

down, so we stop hanging them up.

That's what I was talking about.

It was here when we moved in.

There are also a lot of

stuff in the cellar.

Show me the cellar.

You picking up anything

in here, Hon?

Something awful happened here, Ed.

Those bruises, it from

something that happened here?

It's some iron

deficiency things I've have.

You know, with all that's going on,

why haven't you just moved out?

I have nowhere we move to,

we get all money tied up in this place.

I have a lot of repairs

on top of that.

And I don't know anybody who's going to

take in a family of 7 indefinitely.

That's why we tracked you down.

We're glad you found us!

All right. Lets get started.

My name is Ed Warren.

It's November 1st, 1971.

I am sitting here with Carolyn

Peron, who with her family,

has been experiencing

supernatural occurrences.

Okay, go ahead.

- Where do I start?

- From the first occurrence.

It guess it was the clocks.

Mom and Dad tell me

that you have a friend.

His name is Rory. He lives here, too.

But he always sad.

- Why is that?

- He won't tell me.

But I think something

bad happened to him.

Do you mind if I try to see Rory?

Hey!

What is it?

We bought it at auction

from the bank.

So, you know, we never

knew who have lived here.

Well, Lorraine and I both feel,

that what your house needs is a cleansing.

- An exorcism.

- What? Exorcism?

I thought that was something

that you do to people.

No, not necessarily. No.

We have to get out of here.

I'm afraid that's not going to help.

Lorraine saw something. Why

don't you just go ahead on it?

I've been seeing the dark and its even

haunt your house and your land.

I saw it first when I

came through your door.

It was latched to your back.

And then I saw it again with the girls

when we walked in the living room.

It doesn't matter where you go,

this dark entity has latched

itself to your family.

And its feeding off of you.

Even if we... leave?

It sometimes when you get haunted

is like you stepping on gum.

You take it with you.

I have to tell you you have

a lot of spirit in here.

But this is the one that I most worried

about because it is so hateful.

- OK, so what do we do? Do we call a priest?

- I wish it was that easy.

Performing an exorcism is archaic procedure.

Required years of training and...

And even then, I have seen

it go horribly wrong.

But before we can get that far, the

Church has to authorize it first.

Means we got to investigate, gather

evidence and provide proof.

And that's the hard part.

Have your children been baptized?

No, we never get around to that.

We're not really Churchy family.

Well, you might want to rethink that.

Our presence here could make things worst.

- Why?

- Because we are a threat.

Whatever you're dealing with here,

isn't gonna... like us.

So far, it hasn't done anything violent.

That's a good sign.

So we gonna have our guys do some homework on

the property to see what we're up against.

- Judy, what are you're up to?

- I got you a present.

Me and Nana got this

at the Church's yard sales.

- Honey! Oh!

- One for you and one for me.

I put a picture of you
