Tonight we’re joined by author, researcher, and journalist Maxim W. Furek for a deep exploration into one of the most chilling and controversial hauntings in modern American history — The Smurl Haunting. This is the case that brought Ed and Lorraine Warren to West Pittston, Pennsylvania, and now inspires the upcoming film The Conjuring: Last Rites.

Maxim shares insights from his direct conversations with the Warrens, his research into the Smurl family’s terrifying encounters, and the strange ripple effects that continue to this day. We also examine the dark lore surrounding Annabelle and her 2025 “Devils on the Run” tour, mysterious incidents throughout Pennsylvania’s Coal Region, and the broader connections between hauntings, demonic encounters, and the paranormal landscape of America.

In this episode:
• The REAL story behind The Smurl Haunting
• What Ed & Lorraine Warren told Maxim privately
• Annabelle’s 2025 appearances & strange follow-up events
• Pennsylvania’s paranormal “wormhole” regions
• The Sheppton mining miracle & lingering mysteries
• Bigfoot, UFOs, and crossover phenomena in Maxim’s research

We traveled to rural Ohio to meet experiencer Bennie Foggin, whose family has endured decades of strange activity — UFO sightings, cattle mutilations, and a mysterious metal object that appeared after a close encounter.

Bennie says the metal originally had a red component before it was taken to Battelle and later handled by the U.S. Army, who only returned an alloy portion. With no full test results available, the unanswered questions only deepen.

We stand where the object was found, hear Bennie’s story firsthand, and explore how this case connects to other high-strangeness events in the region. We close by touching on new research hinting at unexplained sky events recorded long before satellites existed.

What really happened on that Ohio property?
We follow the mystery wherever it leads.
