What movie would Dino Babers recommend for him?:

The recommendation is “The Conjuring” one of the many movies based around the work of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The movie stars Syracuse alum Vera Farmiga as Lorraine Warren and focuses on the Warren’s attempts to help a Rhode Island family exorcize the witch Bathsheba. This is relevant as Syracuse is trying to exorcize the witch Dabosheba this season.
