Ghosts and the Amityville HorrorDid you see “The Haunting in Connecticut” (2009) in the movie theatres? Well, now come and hear from the ex-pert, Lorraine Warren, who has been the nation’s top psychic researcher for over 3 decades, and has lectured, extensively at colleges and universities throughout the country. She will lead a slide presentation and discussion about her life-long work with her late husband, Ed. The Warrens have inves-tigated the realm of the supernatural throughout Europe, North America, and Australia. Their work in the “Amityville Horror” investigation is their most requested lecture topic and is still fascinating, more than 25 years later. They were two of only a handful of investigators allowed into the infamous “Ami-tyville Horror” home and have the only pictures ever taken inside the house. Two movies were made about their cases, one “The Haunted” from their book with the same name and the other “The Demon Murder Case” from their book “The Devil in Connecticut.” This program is open to high school students.
