Before The Conjuring 2 terrified moviegoers, there was a real family living through something no one could explain.

In 1977, the Hodgson family of Enfield, London reported furniture moving on its own, voices echoing from the walls, and violent disturbances witnessed by police, reporters, and paranormal investigators.

But what really happened inside that house?

In this episode, State of the Unknown host Robert Barber uncovers the true story behind The Conjuring 2, the real Enfield Poltergeist case. You will hear what the investigators documented, what skeptics uncovered, and what the surviving witnesses still believe nearly fifty years later.

Listen now and decide for yourself what haunted 284 Green Street.
