You know, it occurs to me that if you're in the middle of renovations and a large light fixture suddenly crashes down, it might not be ghosts or demons. You might just be a bit of a shit handyman.

You can tell he's genuinely upset because he says "Actual Fuck" instead of "Blue Hell".

When you think you couldn’t hate the Warren’s more, they crop the dog out of the photo!!!

5:56 I’m dieing over everyone like “omg a ghost screamed at me” and the son is like “yeah it sucked me off while I was watching the ball game”

In all fairness if I were a shark or demon I’d target Ed Warren lol😂

@MahanonLavellan 2 months ago

I will always be down for another episode of you rightfully bashing the Warrens! 😀🤗
How much there really is left to cover about them, I don't know, but if we get to part 20 of this series I would be neither surprised nor disappointed.

I bet Jack blamed all his farts on the dog. Ed probably did as well.
The dog knew too much. The dog got disappeared.

These Warren videos are addictive, great job!

Here's all you need to know about Ed Warren, in the books and in the movies there is a text written at the beginning that says "Ed Warren is the only non-ordained demonologist recognized by the Catholic Church" now all you have to do is five minutes of research and you'll find that there is NO position in the Catholic Church known as "demonologist". The Catholic Church does not recognize "demonologist" as a position whatsoever. So Ed Warren was not recognized as a demonologist by the Catholic Church. It's just a blatant lie that anybody can look up. The Catholic Church has "exorcists". And Ed Warren was not an exorcist. These people caused so much agony and pain to other people and I hope they're paying for it somehow in the afterlife.

Contrary to popular belief, and Warren standard acting procedure, the Catholic Church actually stresses that every natural and scientific explanation must be explored and ruled out before something can be ruled as supernatural. It’s telling just how flimsy the story actually is because the church’s investigations never went beyond priest visitations.

For context, this would be like having a class action lawsuit rejected because when your lawyer interviewed you, he realized that the person you’re suing doesn’t exist.
