Its clearly stated in the movie - Conjuring 2.
She had a premonition of her husband's (Ed Warren) death. She wanted it all to stop and therefore locked herself in her room for 8 days without talking or eating. -

Who cares? This was one of the film's silliest manipulative quirks. Poor, bold Lorraine, almost a female version of Father Lankester Merrin! She will brave the Witch, with her husband by her side! Into the fray! But not before several heavy references from Ed that he wants her to stay out of this one, because she loses a little piece of herself during each incident, and in one former encounter, she - think Drama Queen - shut herself in her room for eight days without speaking a word. Perhaps Ed was permitted to slip very thin meals under her door. But not only does she never divulge what she saw to Ed. Ed doesn't have the gall to ask her what it was that incapacitated her for that fateful, grim week. Talk about Marital Secrets And the filmmakers kindly afford us a flashback to THAT demonic incident. A flashback that shows everything
except
what caused Lorraine's eight-day shut-down. The story, the buildup, the flashback: what a waste of film and viewer attention. Absolute manipulative
junk

I don't think she saw anything at all. The word of the Warrens is highly suspect, and unfortunately means that every case they ever investigated has to be considered false.

Exactly. As a paranormal investigator, those two have always been a serious headache. It disturbs me just how many people blindly believe everything they say, and it makes it very difficult trying to actually accomplish anything. There is far too much false information out there, with too many gullible people.

The only Paranormal Investigator worthy of the title has to be incorruptible.
That means, they have to be open minded, able to be detached to the "obvious" and automatic assumption. Not led by ego, fame or wealth.
An independently wealthy scientific researcher rarely enters this field without a premise of wanting to believe. -

You're absolutely correct! Though I would argue that wanting to believe is not as much of an issue if you check your biases. I can tell you honestly that in my investigations, I have very rarely come across anything that I can conclusively call genuine phenomenah, and even then, I cannot tell you conclusively what it means. More genuine research needs to be done in this field, and all of our assumptions need to be stripped down to nothing, and built back up through proper scrutiny. I am working on assembling a think tank to begin that process.
