The Demonologist

"The Demonologist" by Gerald Brittle (Kindle Edition)

The recently released movie "The Conjuring" is supposedly based on one or two true cases investigated by the husband and wife supernatural investigating team the Warrens. As part of the movie publicity this 1980 book has been re-published. The book is part long-form interview with Ed Warren (the titular Demonologist) and part review of their more capitivating cases. Ed and Lorraine Warren became famous in the 1970s, appearing on many chat shows and embarking on countless speaking tours across the globe..needless to say I personally had never heard of them..
The recounted cases (if the details are only partially true) are quite chilling and unsettling - haunted dolls, haunted houses, posessed people and so on. Certainly events worth investigating. My only problem is that the Warrens, who started out as skeptics, ended up trying to fit everything they encountered into a narrow Christian-based framework. So we have on one hand ordinary ghosts and on the other inhuman spirits that hate God and so on. Many astounding statements are given out in a matter-of-fact manner and this starts to undermine their case.
Overall interesting and worrying.
