[at the Warrens house, Lorraine and Judy are playing with the chicken in their garden when Lorraine notices Ed heading out]
Lorraine Warren: Where are you off to?
Ed Warren: Uh, I just gotta run to the store for a few things.
Lorraine Warren: Why do you even try?
Ed Warren: What? What do you mean?

Ed Warren: Father Gordon called, he’s got a case he wants us to look into. I said I’d go check it out myself.
[Lorraine opens the chicken coop gate]
Ed Warren: Lorraine, myself!
Lorraine Warren: I’m going with you.
[Ed turns and starts walking towards the car and Lorraine follows him]
Lorraine Warren: I know you’re worried it’s gonna happened again.
Ed Warren: Yeah, I am. I really am. Maybe it’s just time we take a break, write that book.
Lorraine Warren: Do you remember what you said to me on our wedding night?
Ed Warren: “Can we do it again?”
[Lorraine smiles]
Lorraine Warren: After that.
[they both laugh]

Lorraine Warren: I’m gonna get dressed.

[Ed and Lorraine are in the attic of a couple named David and Leah]
Lorraine Warren: We’ve isolated the disturbances to the attic. Now I just want you to listen for a second.
[they hear a noise echoing through the house]
Leah: Oh, my God. That’s it!
Lorraine Warren: Do it again, Ed!
[Ed steps onto a floorboard in the attic and the noise happens again]
Ed Warren: Right now it’s just my weight, but if you take the water coming off the pipe combined with the wind coming through the broken window, and these boards are gonna expand and rub against each other. You heard it all through the house because of these pipes linking to the radiator.
David: So this place isn’t haunted?
Lorraine Warren: No, it rarely is. Yeah, there’s usually always some kind of rational explanation.

[at the Perrons house, Carolyn is in the bathroom and notices more bruises on her body, she takes her prescribed iron deficiency tablets; later at night in her room she’s folding laundry as she listens to the radio, suddenly she hears a child giggling, she turns off the radio and hears the sounds of hands clapping]
Carolyn Perron: Girls, it’s way past your bed time.
[she goes out of the room to check and finds the girls are all asleep in their rooms, suddenly she hears a crashing noise and finds the framed family pictures hanging from the wall by the stairs have all fallen and broken, she goes downstairs to investigate when she hears the clapping noise again]
Carolyn Perron: Who is that?!
[she walks through the hallway and checks the living room and kitchen when suddenly she sees the cellar door open and hears a note being played on the old piano in the cellar, Carolyn walks towards the cellar in fear, turns on the light in the cellar and from top of the stairs she takes a quick peek into the cellar sees nothing and steps back]
Carolyn Perron: Whose ever down there, I’m gonna lock you in now!
[as she turns to go out of the cellar suddenly the door shuts in her face knocking her down the cellar stairs to the cellar floor, Carolyn painfully sits up and looks around her in terror, suddenly a small ball roles out and Carolyn quickly runs up the stairs, then the light bulb explodes and Carolyn screams in terror, she tries to open the door but it’s locked]
Carolyn Perron: Help! Help me out! Help!
[the sound of a child giggling is heard, Carolyn finds the matches Roger had left on the shelf and lights one, as she looks around in terror suddenly she hears a child’s ghostly voice]
Ghostly Voice: Hey, want to play hide and clap?
[suddenly from the darkness behind Carolyn a pair of hands appear and clap extinguishing the match and making Carolyn scream in terror and trying to open the cellar door]

[at the same time Andrea wakes to find Cindy has sleepwalked into her room and is banging her head against her closet door]
Andrea: Cindy?
[Andrea gets out of bed and walks over to Cindy]
Andrea: Okay.
[she puts her hand against her forehead to protect it against the thumping]
Andrea: Alright? Alright, come on. Come on.
[she turns Cindy around]
Andrea: There you go.
[she starts leading her away from the closet]
Andrea: Okay, you can uh…you can just sleep with me tonight, alright? Right here.
[she leads Cindy to her bed]
Andrea: There you go.
[she tucks Cindy under the sheets, but suddenly she hears thumping on the closet again, Andrea turns and walks slowly towards the closet, she opens the closet doors but finds no one inside, at the same time Cindy sits up in bed and sees something terrifying, Andrea looks up and sees a hideous figure in a dirty nightgown on top of the closet, suddenly it jumps down and attacks Andrea]

[at the same time as Carolyn is trapped in the cellar and Andrea is being attacked by the hideous figure, Roger arrives home and hears the screams, he quickly rushes inside]
Carolyn Perron: Help! Help! Help!
[Roger hears Carolyn and opens the cellar door to let her out, then they rush upstairs]
Roger Perron: Andrea! Andrea!
[Cindy rushes to her parents]
Cindy: Daddy! Help her, Daddy!
[Roger enters Andrea’s room to find Andrea alone in the room and on the floor screaming]
Roger Perron: Who’s in here? What happened?

[Ed and Lorraine are giving a lecture]
Ed Warren: Fear is defined as a feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or eminence of danger. Whether it’s a ghost, a spirit or an entity, they all feed on it.
[Ed points to the man on the film footage being shown from a projector]
Ed Warren: Take Maurice here. He’s a French-Canadian farmer, had nothing more than third-grade education, yet after he was possessed, spoke some of the best Latin I’d ever heard. Sometime backwards. He’d been molested by his father, who had also tortured him repeatedly. A dark spirit made its home in this man.
Lorraine Warren: Now, if you look into his eyes, you can see him tearing blood.
[the footage shows an exorcism being performed on the man and blood is pouring from his eyes]
Lorraine Warren: And, like that, an upside down cross started to appear from within his body.
[the footage shows the man lifting his shirt and a cross appearing from under his skin]
Ed Warren: Alright, Drew, you can hit the lights.
[the lights in the room come on and the majority of the audience raises their hands]
Ed Warren: Oh.
Female Student: Did you personally perform the exorcism?
Ed Warren: No, I’m not authorized. But I’ve assisted on many. See an exorcism can be very dangerous, not only for the victim, but for anyone in the room.
Female Student: So, what happened to Maurice?
Ed Warren: Well, he tried to kill his wife. But instead he shot her in the arm and then he turned the gun on himself. Maurice had a very troubled life with little to live for, and not even an exorcist could bring him back. Which brings us to the three stages of demonic activity: Infestation, oppression and possession. Now infestation, that’s…that’s the whispering, the footsteps, the feeling of another presence, which ultimately grows into oppression, the second stage. Now this is where the victim, and it’s usually the one who’s the most psychologically vulnerable, is targeted specifically by an external force. Breaks the victim down, crushes their will. And once in a weakened state, leads into the third and final stage, possession.
[we see as Ed is talking that Carolyn is sat in the audience listening]

[after their talk is over, the Warrens are packing their stuff into their car in the parking lot when Drew walks over with Carolyn]
Drew: Hey, Ed, Lorraine?
Ed Warren: Yeah?
Drew: There is someone here that would like to talk to you.
Ed Warren: Oh, hi.
Lorraine Warren: Thanks, Drew.
Drew: Sure, I’ll see you later.
[Drew turns and walks off; to Carolyn]
Lorraine Warren: How can we help you?
Carolyn Perron: There’s something horrible happening in my house. Could you come take a look?
Ed Warren: You know, uh…it’s getting kind of late. We really need to be heading home.
Carolyn Perron: No, you don’t understand.
Ed Warren: Oh, but we do. There’s usually some sort of rational explanation…
Carolyn Perron: I have five daughters who are scared to death. I’m so afraid this thing wants to hurt us. I mean, you have a daughter, won’t you do anything you could to protect her? Please! Please can you come and take a look?
[moved by this, Lorraine gives Ed a quick look]
Lorraine Warren: Of course we will. Of course we will.

[Ed and Lorraine drive over to the Perrons house and knock on their door, the girls are all sat in the living room watching TV]
Carolyn Perron: Hey, would you guys turn it off? Thanks.
[Carolyn walks over to the front door and lets the Warrens in]
Carolyn Perron: Hello. Hi.
Lorraine Warren: Hi.
Carolyn Perron: Thanks for coming.
Roger Perron: Hi. I’m Roger.
Lorraine Warren: Lorraine.
[Roger and Lorraine shake hands]
Ed Warren: Nice to meet you, Roger. Ed Warren.
[Ed and Roger shake hands]
Roger Perron: Thanks for coming.
Carolyn Perron: Please, come in. Thank you. So…
[Lorraine looks around and notices the girls standing in the living room]
Lorraine Warren: Oh, my God! Look at you all. Who are these beautiful young women?
Carolyn Perron: That’s Andrea, the oldest. Nancy, Cindy, Christine and April.
[to the girls]
Carolyn Perron: This is Mr. and Mrs. Warren.
[to the Warrens]
Carolyn Perron: We, um…we’re all sleeping down here now.
Lorraine Warren: Hm.
Carolyn Perron: The girls feel safer and it’s warmer. I’m constantly turning up the heat but the house is always freezing.
Roger Perron: It’s not the problem with the furnace though. I mean, not that I can find.

[Ed and Lorraine look around then Ed starts walking out of living room and Carolyn follows him]
Carolyn Perron: It’s gotten a lot worse the past few nights. There’s this…awful smell, like rotting meat, that moves around the house.
[Lorraine walks up to Ed]
Ed Warren: Uh…
Carolyn Perron: What? What is it?
Ed Warren: Well, rancid smells could indicate some type of demonic activity.
Carolyn Perron: Oh, my God!
[Ed tries to open the door next to the stairs but the door handle have been tied with ropes]
Roger Perron: Oh, that’s to keep those doors from banging at night. Otherwise it’s like…
[he bangs his hand against the wall to indicate the banging noise]
Roger Perron: All night long, just like that.
[he bangs three times on the wall again to indicate what happens]
Ed Warren: Does it comes in threes?
Roger Perron: Yeah.
Ed Warren: Stops at dawn?
Roger Perron: Uh-huh.
Ed Warren: Well, sometimes it’s meant as an insult to the Trinity. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

[Carolyn and Roger lead the Warrens up the stairs]
Roger Perron: You know, it’s the damnest thing, but we also get all kinds of birds that will just fly against the side of the house and break their necks.
Ed Warren: Hm, really?
Carolyn Perron: And the clocks stop at 3:07 AM.
Lorraine Warren: All of them?
Carolyn Perron: Every one.
[as they upstairs hall Lorraine notices one of the family photo that had crashed to the floor]
Carolyn Perron: Oh, we were hanging those along the stairs. Something just kept knocking them down, so we stopped hanging them up.
[Lorraine puts the framed photo down, Carolyn takes them to Andrea’s room and shows them the wardrobe]
Carolyn Perron: That’s what I was talking about. It was here when we moved in. There’s also a lot of stuff in the cellar.
Lorraine Warren: Show me the cellar.
[inside the cellar, Lorraine stands in the center, closes her eyes and senses something]
Ed Warren: You picking up anything in here, hon?
Lorraine Warren: Something awful happened here, Ed.

[later in the kitchen, as Carolyn pours coffee for the Warrens Ed notices the bruises on her arm]
Ed Warren: Those bruises, are they from something that happened here?
Carolyn Perron: Oh, it’s some iron deficiency thing I have.
Ed Warren: You know, with all that’s been going on, why haven’t you just moved out?
Roger Perron: I have nowhere we’d move to, we got all our money tied up in this place, I had a lot of repairs on top of that. And I don’t know anybody who’s gonna take in a family of seven indefinitely.
Carolyn Perron: It’s why we tracked you down.
Ed Warren: We’re glad you found us. Alright, let’s get started.
[Ed loads a cassette into a tape recorder and hits the record button; into the microphone of the recorder]
Ed Warren: My name is Ed Warren. It’s November 1st, 1971. I’m sitting here with Carolyn Perron, who with her family, has been experiencing supernatural occurrences.
[Ed puts the microphone near Carolyn]
Ed Warren: Okay, go ahead.
Carolyn Perron: Where do I start?
Ed Warren: From the first occurrence.
Carolyn Perron: I guess it was the clocks.

[in the living room, Lorraine talks to April]
Lorraine Warren: Mom and Dad tell me that you have a friend.
April: His name is Rory. He lives here, too.
Lorraine Warren: Hm.
April: But he always sad.
Lorraine Warren: Why is that?
April: He won’t tell me, but I think something bad happened to him.
Lorraine Warren: Do you mind if I try to see Rory?
[April hands the music box to Lorraine, she opens the lid, turns the handle playing the music, as the music starts Lorraine looks in the mirror at what’s being reflected behind her, suddenly she sees a figure of a ghostly boy behind her but it quickly disappears]

[Lorraine steps out of the house and walks over towards the large tree by the lake, Ed sees her and walks over to her]
Ed Warren: Hey!
[Lorraine doesn’t turn, but senses something, she hears the tree branch creak, she slowly turns and looks at Ed]
Ed Warren: What is it?
[we see a pair of dirty feet dangling behind Ed from the tree, Lorraine looks away fearfully and nearly faints but Ed catches her before she falls; later the Warrens are sat in the kitchen with Carolyn and Roger]
Roger Perron: We bought it at auction from the bank. So, you know, we never knew who had lived here.
Ed Warren: Well, Lorraine and I both feel, uh…that what your house needs is a cleansing. An exorcism.
Roger Perron: What? Exorcism? I thought that was…I thought that was something that you do to people.
Lorraine Warren: No, not necessarily. No.
[to Roger]
Carolyn Perron: We have to get out of here.
Ed Warren: I’m afraid that’s not going to help. Uh…Lorraine saw something.
[to Lorraine]
Ed Warren: Why don’t you go ahead, hon?
Lorraine Warren: I’ve been seeing the dark entity that haunts your house and your land. I saw it first when I came through your door, it was latched to your back. And then I saw it again with the girls when we walked into the living room. And it doesn’t matter where you go, this dark entity has latched itself to your family and its feeding off you.
[Carolyn looks shocked]
Carolyn Perron: Even if we…leave?
Lorraine Warren: Sometimes when you get haunted, it’s like stepping on gum. You take it with you.
[Carolyn looks upset]
Lorraine Warren: Look, I gotta tell you. You have a lot of spirit in here, but this is the one that I’m most worried about, because it is so hateful.
Roger Perron: Okay, so what do we do? Do we call a priest?
Ed Warren: I wish it were that easy. Performing exorcism is an archaic procedure, requires years of training and…and even then, I have seen it go horribly wrong. But before we can get that far, the Church has to authorize it first. It means we got to investigate, gather evidence and provide proof. And that’s the hard part.

[as the Perrons show Ed and Lorraine out of the house]
Ed Warren: Have your children been baptized?
Roger Perron: Uh…no. We never got around to that. We’re not really a church going family.
Ed Warren: Well, you may want to rethink that. Our presence here could make things worse.
Carolyn Perron: Why?
Ed Warren: Because we’re a threat, and whatever you’re dealing with here isn’t gonna like us. So far, it hasn’t done anything violent, and that’s a good sign. So we’re gonna have our guy do some homework on the property though to see what we’re up against.

[that night at the Warrens house Lorraine is tucking Judy into bed]
Lorraine Warren: Judy, what are you’re up to?
Judy Warren: I got you a present.
[Judy lift her pillow to reveal a two lockets]
Judy Warren: Me and Nana got these at the Church’s yard sales.
Lorraine Warren: Honey!
Judy Warren: One for you and one for me.
[Lorraine opens her locket and there’s a photo of Judy inside it]
Lorraine Warren: Ah!
Judy Warren: I put a picture of you and Daddy in mine. Nana said this way we’ll always be together. You’ll be with me and I’ll be with you.
[Lorraine looks touched by this]
Judy Warren: I miss you and Daddy.

[later Lorraine is wearing the locket around her neck, she’s sat looking at Judy’s photo in the locket]
Ed Warren: Hey, hon!
Lorraine Warren: Yep?
Ed Warren: You’re not gonna believe this. Carolyn’s voice didn’t record.
[Ed enters the room and places the tape recorder on the table]
Lorraine Warren: What do you mean?
Ed Warren: Listen.
[he hits play and the tape plays]
Ed Warren: My name is Ed Warren. It’s November 1st, 1971. I am sitting here with Carolyn Perron, who, with her family, has been experiencing supernatural occurrences.
[to Carolyn]
Ed Warren: Alright, go ahead.
[a long silence follows where Carolyn had spoken]
Ed Warren: From the first occurrence.
[there’s another long silence; to Lorraine]
Ed Warren: Nothing.
[Ed stops the tape]
Ed Warren: The whole time. I don’t know, you find anything?
Lorraine Warren: Lots. I mean, it’s no wonder they’re going through what they are.

[Lorraine hands Ed and old photo of the Perrons house]
Lorraine Warren: That’s the original farm house. It was built in 1863 by a man named Jedson Sherman, who was married to a woman named Bathsheba. Ed, she’s related to Mary Town Estye. She’s one of the woman accused of witchcraft in Salem, she was hung during the trials.
Ed Warren: Wow.
Lorraine Warren: So, after Bathsheba married Jedson, they had a baby, and when the baby was seven days old, Jedson caught her sacrificing it in front of the fireplace. She ran out to that tree by the dock, climbed up, proclaimed her love to Satan, cursed anyone who tried to take her land, and hung herself. Time of death was pronounced at 3:07 in the morning.
Ed Warren: Well, that explains a few things.
Lorraine Warren: Yeah, so does this.
[Lorraine shows Ed an old photo of woman with a young boy]
Lorraine Warren: Her last name is Walker, she lived there in the 30’s. She had a boy named Rory, who mysteriously disappeared in the woods. Then she killed herself in the cellar. And that’s not all.
