Last Friday night was eerie as the audience listened carefully to Lorraine Warren speak about who was haunting the Thomaston Opera House. "This is a person who was obsessed with this place," she said of the spirit. Several of the audience members said they thought it was the old caretaker who used to sit on the front steps of the building in earlier years. Lorraine, who founded the New England Society for Psychic Research in 1952 with her husband Ed Warren, did not confirm this theory, but did say that the Opera House was haunted. Ed was not in-house for the lecture, however, Lorraine said he was in "critical, but stable" condition. Her son-in-law Tony Spera is also a member of the NESPR and was her assistant for the night's program. Spera had a great sense of humor and kept a lighter side to the demonology and ghost reports the audience was subjected to, which brought some laughter into the lecture. He said that humor was a necessary part of the work they deal with every day.Lorraine and Spera spooked a packed Opera House, and Project Graduation coordinator Joan Eykelhoff said the program was a large success as a fundraiser for Thomaston High School's Class of 2005.
