S20 Ep149: The Smurl Haunting: When Ed and Lorraine Came To Town w/Maxim W. Furek

Darkness Radio Presents: The Smurl Haunting: When Ed and Lorraine Came To Town w/ Researcher/Journalist/Author, Maxim W. Furek! Called Pennsylvania’s “Amityville Horror,” the Smurl family’s nightmare of demonic possession is the subject of both the current motion picture, Conjuring: Last Rites , and this book. Venturing far beyond the West Pittston coal region, author Maxim W. Furek’s narrative explores the dark crawlspaces of High Hopes, the Hinsdale House, the damned Welles House, and good and evil, as seen through the eyes of history’s foremost exorcists and psychics, such as the mysterious Fr. Alphonsus Trabold O.F.M and Alexander Tanous. There was something of the supernatural channeling through Furek that inspired him to write this book. The 92-year-old West Pittston Smurl duplex was a half-hour drive from his home, and, during their 15-city book tour promoting The Haunted , the author befriended Ed and Lorraine Warren. And sadly, Furek met Annabelle handler Dan Rivera, the day before he died during the 2025 “Devils on the Run” Tour in Gettysburg.
