Today Scoot takes us to Kecksberg PA, where something, acorn shaped, landed in the woods. as it crashed through the sky, leaving small fires as it went, 6 states were able to catch sight of this flying object, but after several theories were presented for the supposed UFO, not many believe it was and alien at all. between government coverups, and NASA "loosing" two boxes of files relating to the incident, what really happened? was it truly an unidentified object, or something that the government just didn't want seen. Listen for all the details as we plunge into this mini and make sure to have your magnifying glass ready, as we take you through this investigation.

Good afternoon investigators! On todays episode Scoot takes us through the Smurl family haunting, a haunting that inspired The Conjuring: Last Rites movie. starting when the family moved into the home in 1973, the activity only ramped up through their 13 years in the home. Ed and Lorraine Warren were a part of the story of the Smurl family, and lead to a book called the haunted being written about all the paranormal events which took place. the family eventually moved, but the hauntings were said to have followed! but their story does die out after the move, and the next owners of the haunted home experienced no unexplained phenomena, so what do you think? haunted or hoax?YouTube video of Warren's interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaPgA12CPjw*note from hatter: I say in the movie the exorcist she assaults herself with scissors, it is actually a crucifix. just wanted to correct myself.- as always send any stories or case suggestions to investigatingwithus@gmail.comResources:https://www.timesleader.com/archive/1169712/demon-in-home-grabs-our-attentionhttps://phillyghosts.com/the-smurl-family-haunting/https://ghostaugustine.com/blog/ed-lorraine-warren/#:~:text=Ed%20and%20Lorraine%20Warren%20are%20American%20paranormal,medium%20who%20worked%20closely%20with%20her%20husband.https://www.grunge.com/1951731/ed-lorraine-warren-smurl-haunting-investigation-real-story/https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/what-to-know-about-the-smurl-family-haunting-at-the-center-of-upcoming-the-conjuring-last-rites/ar-AA1EswsC?apiversion=v2&noservercache=1&domshim=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&batchservertelemetry=1&noservertelemetry=1https://the-line-up.com/smurl-family-hauntinghttps://connectparanormal.net/2025/10/20/demonology-and-skepticism-the-smurl-haunting-analyzed/https://historyandotherthingsweb.wordpress.com/2018/10/26/smurl-family-haunting/https://residualwhispers.wordpress.com/2022/10/26/hallowarrens-week-the-smurl-family-haunting/https://local21news.com/news/local/smurl-family-haunting-inspires-new-the-conjuring-filmhttps://warrens.net/smurl-family-haunting/https://allthatsinteresting.com/smurl-hauntinghttps://brianfanelli.com/2019/06/17/revisting-the-smurl-story-and-the-haunted-1991/https://www.biography.com/movies-tv/a71107781/the-conjuring-last-rites-true-story-smurl-haunting-casehttps://www.appalachiabare.com/we-are-afraid-to-sleep/https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3867607/smurl-family-haunting-true-story-conjuring/#:~:text=However%2C%20as%20is%20usually%20the%20case%20with,independent%20observers%20to%20discredit%20the%20Warrens'%20investigation.https://www.biography.com/movies-tv/a71107781/the-conjuring-last-rites-true-story-smurl-haunting-casehttps://ftp.bills.com.au/lunar-tips/lorraine-warrens-real-cases-unveiling-the-truth-1764797506https://allthatsinteresting.com/ed-and-lorraine-warrenhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/ed-warrenhttps://www.mcall.com/1987/04/02/house-possession-leaves-haunting-questions/https://www.thecobrasnose.com/xxghost/smurl.htmlhttps://www.upi.com/Archives/1986/08/21/Haunted-family-overwhelmed-by-attention/9516524980800/
