A Family Under Attack

On March 3, 1974, Mr. Peter Beckford, age fifty, made a note on the kitchen calendar: his daughter Vicky’s car had just gotten a flat tire on a trip to the drugstore. Pouring himself another Sunday morning cup of coffee, Pete Beckford could hardly have imagined that this seemingly ordinary event was the beginning of an all-out siege by violent, inhuman spirits that would begin with acts of vandalism, and end in the near-total destruction of his small ranch house.

Hell would break loose in the Beckford household because the night before, nineteen-year-old Vicky Beckford had crossed the line: she invited a demonic spirit to manifest. Though the deceived girl gave this permission unwittingly, she nevertheless committed a supernatural transgression of the highest order. What resulted was perhaps the worst case of diabolical attack the Warrens have ever experienced.

“The actual beginning of the case would have to be dated a year earlier, though,” Ed states. “That’s when Vicky began using the Ouija board.” In this day and age, her motive for seeking spirit communication was somewhat understandable. Bored and lonely, she was seeking excitement. Her family was strict and religious and kept a tight rein both on her and her fifteen-year-old brother, Eric. A brooding adolescent, Vicky had few friends and withdrew into herself. One night, in futility, she decided to try to find a friend on the Ouija board. After everyone had gone to bed, she placed the “magic talking board” on the floor, put her fingers on the planchette, and began asking questions.

“Is anyone there? My name is Vicky Louise Beckford. Is there a spirit who can hear me?” Suddenly the planchette whizzed up to YES. To Vicky’s eventual misfortune, she now had a disembodied acquaintance.

From then on, Vicky contacted the same spirit every night. She looked forward to the nightly communication with her patronizing ethereal “friend” and would spend hours conversing on the board with it. And no wonder, the spirit played on her vanities, always making a point of complimenting the girl: YOU LOOKED BEAUTIFUL IN THE BROWN DRESS TODAY, VICKY. YOU’RE SO PRETTY COMPARED TO THOSE OTHER GIRLS. TOMORROW WEAR YOUR HAIR UP. IT LOOKS GOOD THAT WAY. Night after night, the spirit on the board accented melodramatic issues that would lead to emotional excesses later on. YOU MAKE ME SO HAPPY, HONEY, the board would perversely tell the lonely teenager. I’D LOVE TO MARRY YOU, IF I COULD.

YOU’RE SO LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, was another ploy. TELL ME WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE ALIVE TODAY, it implored. In response, Vicky Beckford would sympathetically recite the events of her day. Following that, she’d then ask the thing questions. The spirit responded with stories about its death, and how lonely it had been before “meeting” her. Vicky believed every word. Cunningly, the spirit strung the girl out emotionally every night. Then it would abruptly stop communicating and say teasingly, SEE YOU TOMORROW.

Over the course of many months, the entity led Vicky to believe
