{{Main|Annabelle (doll)}}

According to the Warrens, in the year 1970, two roommates claimed their Raggedy Ann doll was possessed by the spirit of a young girl named Annabelle Higgins. The Warrens took the doll, telling the roommates it was "being manipulated by an inhuman presence", and put it on display at the family's "Occult Museum". The legend of the doll inspired several films in the Conjuring Universe and is a motif in many others.{{cite news |last1=McLoughlin |first1=Pam |title=Real 'Annabelle' story shared by Lorraine Warren at Milford's Lauralton Hall |work=New Haven Register |date=October 5, 2014 |url=https://www.nhregister.com/lifestyle/article/Real-Annabelle-story-shared-by-Lorraine-11382545.php |access-date=February 24, 2015}}

In 1971, the Warrens claimed that the Harrisville, Rhode Island home of the Perron family was haunted by a witch who had lived there in the early 19th century. According to the Warrens, Bathsheba Sherman cursed the land so that whoever lived there somehow died a terrible death. The story is the subject of the 2013 film The Conjuring. Lorraine Warren was a consultant to the production and appeared in a cameo role in the film. A reporter for USA Today covered the film's supposed factual grounding.{{cite web |title='The Conjuring' depicts family's reported haunting in Burrillville farmhouse in '70s |last=Elsworth |first=Peter |work=The Providence Journal |date=July 17, 2013 |url=https://www.providencejournal.com/story/entertainment/2013/07/18/20130718-conjuring-depicts-familys-reported-experience-paranormal-activity-burrillville-farmhouse/35337705007/ |access-date=July 21, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170803130203/http://www.providencejournal.com/article/20130717/Entertainment/307179864 |archive-date=August 3, 2017}}{{cite news |last=Alexander |first=Bryan |title=The 'true' story behind 'The Conjuring' |work=USA Today |date=July 22, 2013 |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2013/07/22/conjuring-true-story-perron/2457209/ |access-date=August 5, 2013}}

{{Main|The Amityville Horror}}

The Warrens are best known for their involvement in the 1975 Amityville Horror in which New York couple George and Kathy Lutz claimed that their house was haunted by a violent, demonic presence so intense that it eventually drove them out of their home. The Amityville Horror Conspiracy authors Stephen and Roxanne Kaplan characterized the case as a hoax.{{cite news |last=Downes |first=Lawrence |title=Editorial Observer; The Devil We Know on the Island We Love |newspaper=The New York Times |date=April 14, 2005 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/14/opinion/the-devil-we-know-on-the-island-we-love.html |access-date=August 17, 2011}} Lorraine Warren told a reporter for The Express-Times newspaper that the Amityville Horror was not a hoax. The reported haunting was the basis for the 1977 book The Amityville Horror and adapted into the 1979 and 2005 films of the same name, while also serving as inspiration for the film series that followed. The Warrens' version of events is partially adapted and portrayed in the opening sequence of The Conjuring 2 (2016). According to Benjamin Radford, the story was "refuted by eyewitnesses, investigations and forensic evidence".{{cite web |last=Radford |first=Benjamin |author-link=Benjamin Radford |title=The Amityville Horror |work=Urban Legends Reference Pages |publisher=Snopes.com |date=April 15, 2005 |url=http://www.snopes.com/horrors/ghosts/amityville.asp |access-date=October 25, 2011}} In 1979, lawyer William Weber stated that he, Jay Anson, and the occupants invented the horror story over many bottles of wine.{{cite news |agency=Associated Press |title='Amityville Horror 'amplified over bottles of wine' – lawyer |newspaper=Lakeland Ledger |date=July 27, 1979 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=U-hMAAAAIBAJ&pg=5288,3763517&dq=william+weber+amityville |access-date=October 25, 2011}}

{{Main|Enfield poltergeist}}

In 1977, the Warrens investigated claims that a family in the North London suburb of Enfield was haunted by poltergeist activity. While a number of independent observers dismissed the incident as a hoax carried out by "attention-hungry" children, the Warrens were convinced that it was a case of "demonic possession". The story was the inspiration for The Conjuring 2, although critics say the Warrens were involved "to a far lesser degree than portrayed in the movie". In fact, the couple had shown up to the scene uninvited. They were consequently refused admittance to the home.{{cite book |last=Nickell |first=Joe |author-link=Joe Nickell |title=The Science of Ghosts: Searching for Spirits of the Dead |year=2012 |publisher=Prometheus Books |isbn=978-1-61614-586-6 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/scienceofghostss0000nick/page/281 281]– |url=https://archive.org/details/scienceofghostss0000nick |url-access=registration}}{{cite news |last1=Hawkes |first1=Rebecca |title=What did the Enfield Haunting have to do with Ed and Lorraine Warren? |newspaper=The Telegraph |date=May 12, 2015 |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/the-conjuring-2--the-enfield-poltergeist/haunting-ed-lorraine-warren-true-story/ |url-access=subscription |access-date=September 4, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/the-conjuring-2--the-enfield-poltergeist/haunting-ed-lorraine-warren-true-story/ |archive-date=January 11, 2022}}{{cite web |title=Conjuring 2 vs the True Story of the Enfield Haunting |website=Historyvshollywood.com |url=https://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/conjuring-2-enfield-poltergeist/}}

In 1981, Arne Cheyenne Johnson was accused of killing his landlord, Alan Bono. Ed and Lorraine Warren had been called prior to the killing to deal with the alleged demonic possession of the younger brother of Johnson's fiancée. The Warrens subsequently claimed that Johnson was also possessed. At trial, Johnson attempted to plead Not Guilty by Reason of Demonic Possession, but was unsuccessful with his plea. This story serves as the inspiration for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021).{{cite web |first=Lynne |last=Baranski |title=In a Connecticut Murder Trial, Will (demonic) Possession Prove Nine-Tenths of the Law? |work=People |date=October 26, 1981 |url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20080531,00.html |access-date=August 17, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905135727/http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20080531,00.html |archive-date=September 5, 2015}} The case was described in the 1983 book The Devil in Connecticut by Gerald Brittle.

In 1986, Ed and Lorraine Warren arrived and proclaimed the Snedeker house, a former funeral home, to be infested with demons. The case was featured in the 1993 book In a Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting. A TV film that later became part of the Discovery Channel series A Haunting was produced in 2002. The Haunting in Connecticut, a film based on the Warrens' version of events and directed by Peter Cornwell, was released in 2009. Horror author Ray Garton, who wrote an account of the alleged haunting of the Snedeker family in Southington, Connecticut, later called into question the veracity of the accounts contained in his book, saying, "The family involved, which was going through some serious problems like alcoholism and drug addiction, could not keep their story straight, and I became very frustrated; it's hard writing a non-fiction book when all the people involved are telling you different stories".{{cite web |last=Nickell |first=Joe |author-link=Joe Nickell |title=Demons in Connecticut |work=Skeptical Inquirer |publisher=CSI |date=May 2009 |url=https://skepticalinquirer.org/2009/05/demons-in-connecticut/ |access-date=August 17, 2011}} To paranormal investigator Benjamin Radford, Garton said of Lorraine, "'If she told me the sun would come up tomorrow morning, I'd get a second opinion'".{{cite book |last1=Radford |first1=Ben |author-link=Ben Radford |title=Investigating Ghosts: The Scientific Search for Spirits |publisher=Rhombus Publishing Company |location=Corrales, New Mexico |isbn=978-0-936455-16-7 |page=201 |date=2017}}

Pennsylvania residents Jack and Janet Smurl reported their home was disturbed by numerous supernatural phenomena, including sounds, smells and apparitions. The Warrens became involved and claimed that the Smurl home was occupied by four spirits and also a demon that allegedly sexually assaulted Jack and Janet. The Smurls' version of their story was the subject of a 1986 paperback titled The Haunted and television film of the same name directed by Robert Mandel, as well as The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025).

In 2017, Judith Penney claimed that she had a 40-year sexual relationship with Ed, starting when she was 15. According to Penney, when she became pregnant, Lorraine persuaded her to have an abortion because the birth of a child would become a public scandal and could ruin the Warrens' business. Penney also claimed to have witnessed the couple engaged in physical abuse. Lorraine had it written into her contract for The Conjuring film series that she and Ed could not be portrayed engaging in extramarital affairs, or engaging in crimes like sex with a minor. The Warrens' daughter and son-in-law stated they never saw any of the alleged conduct during the decades they spent with the Warrens and Penney.{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/war-conjuring-disturbing-claims-behind-a-billion-dollar-franchise-1064364/ |title=War over 'The Conjuring': The Disturbing Claims Behind a Billion-Dollar Franchise |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=December 13, 2017}}

According to a 1997 interview with the Connecticut Post, Steve Novella and Perry DeAngelis investigated the Warrens for the New England Skeptical Society (NESS). They found the couple to be pleasant people, but their claims of demons and ghosts to be "at best, as tellers of meaningless ghost stories, and at worst, dangerous frauds." They took the $13 tour and looked at all the evidence the Warrens had for spirits and ghosts. They watched the videos and looked at the best evidence the Warrens had. Their conclusion was that "It's all blarney." They found common errors with flash photography and nothing evil in the artifacts the Warrens had collected. "They have... a ton of fish stories about evidence that got away... They're not doing good scientific investigation; they have a predetermined conclusion which they adhere to, literally and religiously," according to Novella. Lorraine Warren said that the problem with Perry and Steve is that "they don't base anything on a God". Novella responded, "It takes work to do solid, critical thinking, to actually employ your intellectual faculties and come to a conclusion that actually reflects reality ... That's what scientists do every day, and that's what skeptics advocate."{{cite news |last1=Patrick |first1=Mike |title=Truth or Scare?

In an article for The Sydney Morning Herald that examined whether supernatural films are really based on true events, that investigation was used as evidence to the contrary. As Novella is quoted, "They [the Warrens] claim to have scientific evidence which does indeed prove the existence of ghosts, which sounds like a testable claim into which we can sink our investigative teeth. What we found was a very nice couple, some genuinely sincere people, but absolutely no compelling evidence..."{{cite news |last1=Byrnes |first1=Paul |title=The devil among us |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |publisher=Fairfax Publishing |date=July 12, 2013 |url=http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/the-devil-among-us-20130711-2pqzz.html |access-date=December 13, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924161202/http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/the-devil-among-us-20130711-2pqzz.html |archive-date=September 24, 2015}} While it was made clear that neither DeAngelis nor Novella thought the Warrens would intentionally cause harm to anyone, they did caution that claims like the Warrens' served to reinforce delusions and confuse the public about legitimate scientific methodology.{{cite news |last1=Beck |first1=Stefan |title=A Night with The Conjuring's Ed & Lorraine Warren |work=The Daily Beast |publisher=The Daily Beast Company LLC |date=August 18, 2013 |url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/a-night-with-the-conjurings-ed-and-lorraine-warren |access-date=May 31, 2016}}

Leonetti, is both a prequel to and spin-off of The Conjuring and was inspired by a story of the Annabelle doll. It stars Annabelle Wallis, Ward Horton, and Alfre Woodard. The Conjuring Universe's next film was 2016's The Conjuring 2, a sequel to The Conjuring, directed by Wan, and with Farmiga and Wilson reprising their roles as Lorraine and Ed, respectively. It is based on the Enfield Poltergeist case. 2017 saw the release of another prequel, Annabelle: Creation, telling the origin story of the Annabelle doll. Farmiga and Wilson briefly appeared as Ed and Lorraine in the 2018 spin-off film The Nun, focusing on the character of Valak in its "Demon Nun" form, who was the villain from The Conjuring 2. The two reprised their roles again in Annabelle Comes Home, the sequel to Annabelle, and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It; they are also scheduled to reprise the roles in The Conjuring: Last Rites.{{cite web |title=James Wan's Annabelle 3 Eyeing October Production Start In Los Angeles |last=Marc |first=Christopher |work=GWW |date=August 2, 2018 |url=https://thegww.com/james-wans-annabelle-3-eyeing-october-production-start-in-los-angeles/ |access-date=August 6, 2018}}
