Possessed Dolls, Haunted Houses, and the True Paranormal Legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren

State of the Unknown | True Paranormal Stories, Haunted History, and American Folklore

Few names in paranormal history are as well known — or as debated — as Ed and Lorraine Warren. From the case of Annabelle to the hauntings that inspired The Conjuring films, their investigations shaped how the world sees the supernatural.

In this episode of State of the Unknown, Robert Barber examines the true stories behind the Warrens’ most famous cases — from cursed objects and possessed dolls to haunted houses and demonic encounters. Were they uncovering proof of the afterlife… or creating modern folklore in real time?

🎧 True paranormal stories. Haunted history. The legacy that still haunts us.
