Vera Farmiga, who plays Lorraine Warren in the movie got spooked they were shooting for 2013 sleeper-hit ‘The Conjuring’. The actress found ‘digital claw marks’ on her laptop on the day she accepted the role. She and most of the crew members would inadvertently wake up every morning at 03:07- the same time the clocks would stop in the haunted home Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated in the film.
“I’ve had some freaky stuff happen,” Farmiga told Yahoo Movies. “I’ve experienced some weird occurrences, especially since shooting this, like a teacup flying off a shelf… I oftentimes get little cuts in threes, like three little claw marks… The first time around, I had a really prominent bruise that was like three claw-mark bruises. There were a lot of weird, inexplicable things.” Producer Peter Safran said, “People had a general sense of unease as we were shooting,” he said.
Interestingly, John R.Leonetti, the director of the Annabelle, reported similarly eerie happenings on his set just a year later.
Before the shooting for The Conjuring: 2 commenced, the filmmakers set out to preemptively counter any paranormal activity by bringing a priest to set to bless the production. So on the first day, Father Steve Sanchez, a Catholic priest at the Archdiocese of Sante Fe in Albuquerque, New Mexico came to bless the set.
