160: The Conjuring Smurl Family Haunting

There’s a new Conjuring movie out — and since it’s Halloween, you know we couldn’t resist digging into the real story behind it. This time, we’re talking about the Smurl family haunting, the true events that inspired The Conjuring: Last Rites. Was their home really terrorized by demonic forces, or was it something far more ordinary blown out of proportion? Join us as we separate Hollywood horror from haunted reality, question what really happened in West Pittston, and, of course, take our best guesses at how exaggerated this one will be (spoiler: probably a lot).
