The Warrens were con artists even they people they claimed to have "helped" regretted being associated with. If the supernatural is real, it isn't more likely to be in their museum than at the average bus stop. youtu.be/w-KXKhuRYy4?si=7PCy…

All the Conjuring films are like that (Part 2). The first Conjuring film had the opposite end of the true story. In the true story, the exorcism ended when the family kicked the Warrens out, because they were more of a problem than the ghosts. youtu.be/w-KXKhuRYy4?si=v9j7…

They're all like that. The Amityville Haunting (used in Conjuring2) was the last defence of a man with a history of drug use & domestic violence, who'd threatened to kill his parents & only blamed devils after accusing the mafia, strangers & his siblings. youtu.be/6Ul6PWrlfUI?si=TBtw…

There. After a slow start to the year, I've (probably) bested a personal record with a 1st draft (82p) written entirely in 15 days (Not counting 1p. of notes in Feb). Will it turn out to be terrible on re-reading? Of course, but we think to dream and we write to fix.

Contrary to what you may have read, I do not in fact make more money than Olivia Colman.
