Ed has passed on now, and Lorraine still works in the field. Ed and his wife, Lorraine Warren, a clairvoyant, became household names in the paranormal and were in media headlines on some of the most famous modern cases on record. Plus, I was related by blood to one of the most prominent investigators of the demonic: Ed Warren, my mother’s twin brother and my uncle. Perhaps you could say my calling was “in the blood,” as my mother was a twin, and twins have been known to be more psychically sensitive than the average person. But my mother verified my description of him. Actually, I did not know him he had died when I was three years old. I was about 15 years old when I awoke one night and saw my first apparition, my deceased grandfather standing at the foot of my bed. The first sign of calling came in my teens. I never actually intended to become so deeply involved, but as most of us in this field are, I was drawn in and called to it. I have spent more than 30 years dealing with the shadow side of the paranormal, including negative hauntings and demonic cases.
