“The Conjuring” Looks Like it Might Deliver the Scares it Promises Check Out The True Story Behind the Story [VIDEO]

From the mind that brought us "Insideous", James Wan has "The Conjuring" on it's way to theaters and really, I have to turn the trailer off late at night. Based on true events Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.

In 1952, the Warrens founded the New England Society for Psychic Research, the oldest ghost hunting groups in New England, and opened the Occult Museum. They are the authors of numerous books about the paranormal and their own private investigations into various hauntings. They claimed to have investigated over 10,000 hauntings during their career. The Warrens were among the very first investigators in the controversial Amityville haunting.

Pennsylvania residents Jack and Janet Smurl reported their home was disturbed by various supernatural phenomena, including sounds, smells and apparitions. The Warrens became involved and claimed that the Smurl home was occupied by three spirits and also a demon that Jack and Janet Smurl alleged they were sexually assaulted by. That case is the basis for "The Conjuring" out July 19th.
