The Conjuring

It scares us just thinking about it.

When you hear it, you're gonna think we're insane.

Try us. Please, from the start.

It started out small, like a hand or a leg was in a different position.

Then its head was looking up instead of down.

And then one day, it was in a completely different room.

It was moving around by itself.

Ever think maybe somebody had a key to your apartment and was playing a trick?

That's exactly what we thought.

But never once did we find any sign or evidence of intrusion.

And this all led you to believe that the doll was possessed?

Yes.

Camilla got in touch with a medium. We learned from her that a 7-year-old girl...

...named Annabelle Higgins had died in this apartment.

She was lonely and took a liking to my doll.

All she wanted was to be friends.

When we heard this, we felt really sorry for her.

I mean, we're nurses, we help people.

So...

...we gave her permission to move into the doll.

Wait, you did what?

She wanted to live with us by inhabiting the doll.

We said yes.

But then things got worse.

God.

When we came home, she was sitting in the hallway.

But we had left her in the spare room.

Debbie! Debbie, wait!

We are beyond terrified.

We don't know what's going on or what to do. Can you help us?

Yes, we can.

Now, firstly, there's no such thing as Annabelle, and there never was.

Ghosts don't possess such power.

I think what we have here is something extremely manipulative.

It's something inhuman.

It was a big mistake acknowledging this doll.

And through that, the inhuman spirit tricked you.

You gave it permission to infest your lives.

What's an inhuman spirit?

It's something that's never walked the earth in human form.

It's something demonic.

So the doll was never possessed?

No, no, it was used as a conduit.

It was moved around to give the impression of possession.

Demonic spirits don't possess things, they possess people.

It wanted to get inside of you.

All right, that's good, Drew. You can shut it down now.

Hit the lights.

So we got the church to send a priest over...

...to bless the house and the occupants.

Whatever was oppressing that apartment was no longer with them. Any questions?

Yes.

Where's the doll now?

Someplace safe.

- Yep. - So, what are you guys?

I mean, what do people call you?

Uh, well, we've been called Demonologists. That's one name for us.

Ghost hunters, paranormal researchers.

- Kooks. Ha-ha-ha.

Wackos.

But we prefer to be known simply as Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Here we are.

Wow, hear that?

- I don't hear anything. - Exactly.

Oh. Ha!

- Okay. Guys, we are here! Get out of the car.

Oh, God, we're in the middle of nowhere.

Are you so excited? Where's my "yes"? Where's my "yes"? Yes!

I'll race you!

Are you guys excited? Yes!

I'm so excited! Come on, Sadie!

I get my own room!

Are you kidding me? No dibs on the rooms!

- What? - What?

So do I get to pick my own room? Or do I have no choice in that either?

Well, first cute boy she meets, she'll forget about Jersey.

- Great. - I hope.

I can't wait.

Come on, Sadie.

Sadie, let's go.

Hey, come.

What's the matter with you?

Hey, come on, girl.

All right, suit yourself.

-What's your name? - What's your name?

-Who's your daddy? - Who's your daddy?

-He rich? - Is he rich like me?

Watch your step.

Coming through.

Whoa, watch out, Dad.

Where do you want it? - In the living room.

- Andrea, where's my wind chime? - I think Nancy's got it in the other room.

Thanks. Hey, Nancy, have you seen my wind chime?

- Oh, this one? Yeah, thanks.

- You're gonna have to catch it. - Nancy! Let go! Give it here.

You're so mean.

Hey, Mom, can I hang up my wind chime?

Of course. There's a line outside you can hang it on.

Honey, have April come in, okay? It's gonna be dark soon.

Okay.

Come on, April! Mom wants us inside!

Look what I found, Cindy.

One...

...two...

...three.

Come on, come on, come on. No peeking.

Four.

Are you guys done with the pizza? I don't want it going to waste.

- Let's go. It's expensive feeding you girls.

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

Where should I hide?

Ready or not, here I come!

Okay, clap.

- Whoa! - You don't know the house well enough.

Someone's gonna get hurt.

I'm okay, I'm okay.

Second clap.

That's cheating.

Clap.

- Got you! - Aah!

- Are you okay? Um-- Yeah.

All right, what did we break now?

- I didn't mean to. - Move out of there, please.

It was Christine's fault.

- Oh, jeez. My fault? Oh, my God.

Christine did it. No, I didn't.

You pushed me. No, no, you fell back.

Hey, Nancy, can you go get me the matches, please?

What's going on?

Nancy broke something. Shut up.

What broke? It's the wall.

- Whoa. - I think we have a cellar or something.

I wanna see, I wanna see. Move, move, move.

Here, matches. Thank you.

I wanna see. You can see.

I wanna see. You can all see.

Move!

Oh, man.

Huh.

Roger?

What do you see down there?

Just, uh, hard to tell, you know?

It's an old piano and a whole bunch of garbage.

Agh. Son of a--

Wow.

Rog?

Come on up.

I don't want you girls going down there.

- That place is loaded with spiders. - Ew!

Just relax. Okay.

Stop it, Nancy. It's not funny.

We've got extra square footage anyway. I'll check it out in the morning.

- I wonder why it was boarded up. - I don't know.

Okay, show's over.

Five minutes. No more minutes.

Up to bed. Please. Thank you. Right to bed.

Man, I'm fried.

Something's up with Sadie.

Yeah, I don't know what her problem is. Couldn't get her to come inside.

We can't leave her out there.

She's all right. I got her on a chain.

Sadie, hey, be quiet.

Thanks for making this work.

I know it was a lot to bite off.

It's gonna be great, isn't it?

I think it's great already.

Yeah.

You still too fried to christen the new house?

Who said I'm fried?

- Ain't nobody here's fried. - Ha, ha.

Mom?

Hey. How did you guys sleep?

I'm cold.

It is chilly, isn't it?

You think maybe we could have bought a house with a toilet that actually works?

Tell your father.

And there was a funky smell in my room last night. Like something died.

- Is it still there? - No.

Problem solved.

Roger?

Roger?

Down here, honey.

Morning.

Ooh. Whoa.

This is gonna take some serious elbow grease.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

What are we gonna do with all this stuff?

Well, we probably ought to go through it, you know?

There might be some antiques down here worth a lot.

Yeah, or just a lot of junk the previous owner didn't want.

- It's ours now. - Knock yourself out.

- I'm gonna make some coffee. - Okay.

I'm gonna see if I can get this furnace working.
