The Enfield Case (Poltergeist)
"It happened in 1977, in a house in Brimsdown, London. Peggy Hodgson reported that her children had seen furniture moving and toys being thrown around as if by invisible forces. The case gained attention and took on unsettling aspects when one of the police officers claimed to have seen a chair move by itself, although they couldn't confirm it wasn't manipulated through some trickery from another room. Over time, things became more complicated for the family, and during the manifestations, demonic voices started to torment the girls, who also began to levitate strangely in their room."

The Annabelle Doll
The toy belonged to a traditional line of children's products known as Raggedy Ann, popular among girls of that time. The character had been created by Johnny Gruelle in 1920 and gained prominence in a successful literary series. Starting in 1935, it stood out as one of the best-selling children's products in the United States and even had its own animated shorts produced by the legendary Fleischer Studios, responsible for the early Superman and Popeye cartoons. By 1970, these types of dolls had not lost their appeal and continued to attract girls and toy collectors alike. Donna was a nursing student living in a house with her friend Angie, who was pursuing the same university degree. When Donna turned 20, her mother gave her a doll that was the size of a two-year-old child; however, the gift Donna received turned out to be very different. The doll was an object that the spirit used to attract the attention of young girls. Its true aim was to possess Donna. Finally, the Warrens, along with Father Cooke, decided to perform an exorcism in the house to cleanse it of the malevolent and negative energy that pervaded all the rooms.
