💀“The Nun: A Warren Case File from the Shadows of Romania”

 “Diabolical forces are formidable. These forces are eternal, and they exist today. The fairy tale is true. The devil exists.” — Lorraine Warren

Case File: The Romanian Abbey — 1952

When Ed and Lorraine Warren were contacted by the Vatican in late 1952, they were hesitant. This was not a routine haunting, nor a residual spirit trapped between realms. This was something older. Something malevolent.

The call came following the mysterious death of a nun at the Cârța Monastery in Romania—a remote Gothic abbey nestled deep in the Carpathian Mountains. Reports claimed the nun had taken her own life. But the letter that followed bore one chilling message:

“Deliver us from evil. It has taken the form of a holy one.”

Arrival at the Abbey

Ed, skeptical but grounded in faith, brought along holy relics and exorcism tools. Lorraine, a clairvoyant with powerful psychic sensitivity, felt the oppression the moment their feet touched Romanian soil. “The air,” she later wrote, “felt heavy, like it was being shared with something else.”

At the abbey, they met Father Anton and a traumatized novitiate who had witnessed the suicide. Lorraine experienced visions almost immediately: a nun with hollow eyes, chanting in reverse Latin, blood dripping from her veil. The energy was unlike any other case they’d seen.

The Demon Valak

Through further investigation—and Lorraine’s visions—they discovered the abbey had been built atop a gate to Hell itself, sealed centuries ago by holy knights and the blood of Christ. But war had reopened it. And something had emerged.

It called itself Valak—a demon that mocked divinity by donning the guise of a nun. It wasn’t just haunting the abbey. It was trying to claim it as a seat of power on Earth.

Ed and Lorraine described Valak in their private journals:

“A creature that wears the veil of holiness to desecrate all that is sacred. It doesn't haunt. It possesses. It tempts. It waits.”

The Confrontation

After nights of battling poltergeist activity, hallucinations, and near-possession, the Warrens prepared for an exorcism. Lorraine, guided by a vision, discovered the ancient vial of Christ’s blood hidden beneath the altar. In a final standoff in the catacombs, she faced Valak directly—her cross nearly melting in her hand as the demon revealed its true form.

The entity was temporarily banished when Ed splashed the blood into the rift, sealing the gate again. But Lorraine confided to the Vatican that she felt it was only dormant, not destroyed.

They left Romania with one less relic, but many unanswered questions. Lorraine was haunted by one final vision:

A man—Maurice “Frenchie” Theriault—his eyes flashing yellow. Possessed.

Years later, that man would become another Warren case. And Valak would return.

Conclusion: The Legacy of the Demon Nun

The Warren files on Valak remain sealed to this day, stored under strict Vatican supervision. Lorraine would go on to say that it was one of the darkest presences she ever encountered—and that its power didn’t come from fear, but from faith turned inside out.

To this day, visitors to the Cârța Monastery report hearing chanting at night. And occasionally, in photos taken inside the ruins… the silhouette of a nun, where none should be.
