A great summary of spirits

I loved this book. As someone who helps others with spiritual manifestations and issues, I found this book informative and indispensable. Ed and Lorraine hold a treasure trove of real stories about the supernatural and how best to identify, and deal with, its presence in our lives. For those who have been laughed at, doubted and diminished for their stories, this book offers true insight and help. Wish I'd known about the Warrens sooner!

Also, this narrator is amazing. A great listen thanks to him!

Thought-provoking and bone-chilling

Truly a hought-provoking and bone-chilling depiction of the unseen war between good and evil. Narration was done brilliantly.

Some unbelievable incidents but still fascinating

Wow, there's definitely some food for thought here. I'm generally a believer in this kind of stuff but some of these stories are just jaw-dropping and I wonder how much is true. Regardless, I'm so glad there were people like the Warrens helping people. They might disagree but they're real life heroes!

A brilliant account of dark forces at work today.

This book is hard to swallow knowing that a dark and demonic influence exists in this world but on the same hand comforting to know our positivity and love of God can vanquish evil.

knowing such realities exist is very haunting!!

I want to first start by saying bravo to the narrator. this book opens your eyes to so much the world tries to pretend doesn't exist. I would love to give thanks to Ed and Loraine Warren for telling people about the true demonic. without the knowledge people need to know would surley make the world a lote worse. second I want to thank you for all the people that you helped and tried to help. This book opened my eyes to true paranormal phenomena. I give this book 5 out of 5 because it kept me on my toes and I love hearing about true stories that happened in life to these unfortunate people. The book talked about many cases worked on by the Warren's. Bravo. I hope this knoledge helps people in need and make them understand that there are people that will help and never lose faith.

It’s fantastic

I’ve been learning about Ed and Lorraine warren for years but this really take the cake. It’s such a scary thing but it’s weird they make you feel safe. Thank you to the warrens.

Moves Quickly

Content and stories were more intense and creepy than I was expecting. It was great!

Scary fun.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. If the person in question was into the paranormal this is a good choice. the best part is that these are supposed to be true stories. Some of them are even better than what fiction writers davelop anyway.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

The story about Annabelle the doll.

Which character – as performed by Todd Haberkorn – was your favorite?

It was not really a charachter driven book so this really doesn't apply. I will say that the narrarrator did a good job.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

Just say no to ouija boards!

Any additional comments?

This is a good listen. You may have to suspend disbelief depending on what your views are on the subject of the paranormal. Also, some of the Warrens ideas are a bit left field, but they aren't overbearing about their beliefs so I had no problem. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. I read it originally 20 years ago or so, although the title may have been a little different . The good news is that it still holds up.
