-What are you guys?
PATRICK WILSON: Well, we've been called ghost hunters,
paranormal researchers.
VERA FARMIGA: But we prefer to be known simply as Ed and
Lorraine Warren.
LORRAINE WARREN: My name is Lorraine
Warren, and I'm a psychic.
And my husband was sensitive.
He wasn't as psychic as I was.
But he was sensitive.
And we investigated thousands of cases throughout the world.
We've had some bad experiences.
I mean, really bad experiences.
[SLOW CLOCK TICKING]
[HOWLING SOUND]
PAUL ENO: The devil's hour, 3:07, 3:15,
things commonly happen.
And the question is why?
LORRAINE WARREN: Unfortunately, that is usually
always right on when there's a serious haunting.
TONY SPERA: People waking up startled
at 3:00 for no reason.
PAUL ENO: Poltergeist playing Frisbee with your grandma's
fine china, throwing you across the room.
TONY SPERA: Three incidences, three whispers, somebody
calling your name three times, or three knocking sounds.
RON LIVINGSTON: All night long, just like that.
PATRICK WILSON: Does it come in three's?
RON LIVINGSTON: Yeah.
PATRICK WILSON: Stops at dawn?
PAUL ENO: Anything that comes in threes would be a mockery
to Christianity.
PATRICK WILSON: Sometimes it's meant as an insult to the
trinity-- the father, the son, and the holy spirit.
LORRAINE WARREN: It's the psychic power of the night.
EMILY STROIA: It's usually around 3:00 AM where people
are most sensitive to spirit activity or any type of
paranormal activity.
The veil between the spirit world and our world is
lifted, in a way.
PAUL ENO: The problem arises when you deal with the
entities who are not so nice.
Because everything is out there, and
they're not all our friends.
VERA FARMIGA: You have a lot of spirits in here.
But there is the one that I'm the most worried about,
because it is so hateful.
EMILY STROIA: And they are stronger.
BEN ENO: Some of these things, you can't get rid of them.
-(WHISPERING) Look what she made me do.
BEN ENO: You just have to learn how to deal with it.
[WOMAN SCREAMS]
LORRAINE WARREN: Tragedy creates the ghost syndrome.
The spirits remain earthbound.
They don't know how to accept their death.
They're looking for help, but sometimes they don't accept
the help.
-You're all gonna die.
-(WHISPERING) It's standing right behind you.
[WOMAN SCREAMS]
EMILY STROIA: It's such a negative energy.
And it takes a lot of energy to work with the darker
spirits because they're so resistant to any type of
smooth transition to another side.
PAUL ENO: When a *** has occurred, or when a suicide or
something terrible has occurred, there are
repercussions that echo across the multiverse and can come
out when the world boundaries are thinner.
And people attributed most of this to the devil,
particularly around 3:00 in the morning, the devil's hour.
BEN ENO: Faith is a powerful thing.
The belief in such a time, the devil's hour, could
be fueling its power.
If you go in thinking something spooky's going to
happen, something spooky will probably happen.
TONY SPERA: The devil wants to remind us he's there, that
he's around.
When you wake up at 3:00, you never know what you're going
to see at the edge of your bed.
LORRAINE WARREN: Is it because it's the darkest
just before the dawn?
I just know what I can do to protect myself,
and I have my faith.
And if there's some way, to my knowledge, that I can help
people, (WHISPERING) I love it.
