Last year, a report surfaced that revealed thishorror sequelmay also be connected to another famous haunting case,The Amityville Horror, which is mentioned in this latest trailer. 20 days after the Lutz family fled,Ed WarrenandLorraine Warrenconducted an investigation of the house.The Amityville killings took place in 1974, three years before the Enfield haunting, and both cases occurred in different parts of the world, with the Amityville case happening in Long Island, New York, and the Enfield Poltergeist haunting taking place in England. Since the Warren’s did investigate both cases in real life, it’s possible there could be a connection.
