Episode 73 - The Conjuring: Last Rites (Part 1)

Welcome to another Film vs. Fact episode where we examine the true story behind a reported haunting and compare it to the “based on a true story” film adaptation. In this episode, we review the latest entry from the Ed and Lorraine Warren Conjuring Universe, The Conjuring: Last Rites, weighing the film’s most unsettling moments against eyewitness accounts and the Warrens’ own claims. What really happened at the Chase Street duplex in 1986—and what details were softened, altered, or left out entirely? For one, the alleged haunting occurred longer than the film suggests. What else did the film get wrong? Join us for Part One as we begin to explore the reality of the Smurl family haunting.
