"It scares us just thinking about it

"It scares us just thinking about it. When you hear it, you're gonna think we're insane" Debbie said to the Warrens.

"Try us. Please, from the start" Ed gestured. "Drew, camera please" Drew nodded turning on the camera and the tape recorder.

"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" Debbie explained.

"Ever think maybe somebody had a key to your apartment and was playing a trick on you?" Ed asked to make sure it wasn't a hoax.

"That's exactly what we thought. But we never once did we find any sign or evidence of intrusion" she took a glance at the doll scaredly.

"And this all led you to believe that the doll was possessed?" Lorraine asked. The two girls in front of them answered 'yes' simultaneously except the guy sitting at the end of the couch looking anxious. It was quite suspicious from Lilian's point of view.

"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" Debbie explained.

"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" Camilla answered looking guilty.

"Wait... you did what?" Lilian exclaimed looking at the two girls in disbelief.

"She wanted to live with us by inhabiting the doll. We said yes" Camilla quickly defended herself.

"But then things got worse" Debbie added. "When we came home, she was sitting in the hallway. But we had left her in the spare room. The spare room we placed her in was destroyed. And the red crayon in the doll's hand was around the room. The walls were vandalized by red-colored drawings. I threw the doll out together with the note".

"What did the note say?" Lilian asked.

"The notes say 'miss me' and in the spare room, the same words were written on the ceiling with the red crayon"

"When we went to bed, there was a loud banging on the door. We were shocked that the neighbors didn't hear it cause it was loud. Like really loud. On the doorstep, the note which I threw out was there".

"Suddenly, the spare room door banged loudly beside me. When I opened it, the doll was there" Camilla finished.

"We are beyond terrified. We don't know what's going on or what to do. Can you help us?" Debbie asked looking at the Warrens pleadingly.

"Yes, we can. Now, firstly, there's no such thing as Annabelle, and there never was" Ed went straight to the point.

"Ghosts don't possess such power. I think what we have here is something extremely manipulative. It's something inhuman" Lorraine explained to the three in front of her.

"It was a big mistake acknowledging this doll. And through that, the inhuman spirit tricked you. You gave it permission to infest your lives" Lilian added.

"What's an inhuman spirit?" Camilla asked.

"It's something that's never walked the earth in human form. It's something demonic" Lilian answered. The Warrens and Drew watched as the two girls and boys' faces drop.

"So... so the doll was never possessed?" Debbie stuttered.

"No, no, it was used as a conduit. It was moved around to give the impression of possession. Demonic sports don't possess things, they possess people. It wanted to get inside of you" Lilian answered. Realization struck the three's faces.

"Alright, that's good, Drew. You can shut it down now" Lilian told Drew who turned off the projector. "Hit the lights". The lights were then turned on causing everyone to groan after looking at the screen in the dark.

"So, we got the church to send a priest over to bless the house and the occupants. Whatever was pressing the apartment was no longer with them. Any question?" Ed asked. The Warrens chuckled at the number of hands being raised. "Yes" Lilian pointed at the women.

"Where's the doll now?" the woman asked.

"The doll is someplace safe" said Lilian

"So, what are you guys?" the guy Ed picked asked. "I mean, what do people call you?"

"Uh, well, we've been called Demonologists. That's one name for us. Ghost hunters, paranormal researchers", Ed listed down.

"Kooks", Lorraine added making everyone laugh once again. "But we prefer to be known simply as Ed and Lorraine Warren together with our daughter Lilian Warren Thomas" The talk then ended there.

After the presentation, Lilian and Drew standing outside. The couple held hands and chatted. "Should we go out later?" Drew asks. "I would love to do that," says Lilian with a smile on her face.

You two met when Drew started working for your parents. It was love at first sight between the two of you. It wasn't long before he asked Lilian out on a date. And after the fourth date, he didn't hesitate and asked Lilian to be his girlfriend. The marriage proposal was different. Drew didn't have an easy time getting Ed's blessing. It wasn't that he didn't trust Drew, but Lilian was his little girl. Drew finally managed it and 3 months later the wedding was celebrated. So now back to the present.

"Hey Drew, the equipment doesn't pack itself into the car" Ed said and looked at the couple. Lorraine lightly slapped her husband on the shoulder. "Let them both have their moment," says Lorraine, amused. Lilian gives Drew a quick kiss before helping She helps to pack the equipment into the car.
