35. The REAL Enfield Poltergeist AKA The Conjuring 2 AKA Dammit, Janet | The True Story of the Ed & Lorraine Warren Paranormal Case File

The REAL, true story behind the alleged "case files" of Ed & Lorraine Warren, famous "paranormal investigators" slash "demonologists." Join me for this deep dive into the Enfield Poltergeist (the story The Conjuring 2 was based on). You don't need to have seen any of the Conjuring films to listen. Did Janet Hodgson pull off a hoax? Did the Warrens really save the day? Were the Hodgson kids really possessed by a Poltergeist named Bill? You decide.
