After being discharged from the U.S. Navy after World War II,
Ed Warren was an itinerant house and
sign painter traveling around New England. However, with his wife
Lorraine Warren, née Lorraine Moran, he
became known as a demonologist employed in investigating reports of
haunted houses. They attained national renown in 1975 when they wrote
up their reports of their investigation of the
George Lutz house in Amityville,
Long Island, New York. The Lutz family moved into the house, which had
been the site of the murder of five members of the DeFeo family the
previous year. The Lutz family moved out after 28 days, claiming that
they had been chased out by ghosts and other demons. Although some felt
that the story was a hoax, the Warrens swore that, after their
investigation, the house was haunted. The Warrens were the founders of
the New England Society for Psychic Research.
