The video sees a number of caregivers being told by an actress that they should wake Maria up when the alarm goes off. Little do these women know that Maria, who they are told has a health condition, is moments away from pretending to be possessed. On touching the “sleeping” actress, the action kicks in with crosses turning on the wall, moving furniture, a creepy nun breaking through a mirror and some obligatory screaming from demon-like Maria. Watch the full clip above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4364025/conjuring-2-prank-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4364025/conjuring-2-prank-video/"},"headline":"Watch This Conjuring 2 Prank and Be Surprised No One Died of Fright","datePublished":"2016-06-10T13:15:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:14.341Z","description":"Unsuspecting caregivers walk into a terrifying prank","url":"https://time.com/4364025/conjuring-2-prank-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tara John","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tara-john/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4364025/conjuring-2-prank-video/","name":"Watch This Conjuring 2 Prank and Be Surprised No One Died of Fright"}}]}] ```
