What really happened during the Enfield Poltergeist investigation conducted by Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair from 1977 to 1978? Were the voices from Janet Hodgeson real? Just how much was Ed and Lorraine Warren involved? And was the case anything like the Conjuring 2 film portrayed it? Dr. Melvyn Willin digitized the tapes that haven't been heard in forty years and compiled the transcriptions into his brand new book, The Enfield Poltergeist Tapes: One of the most disturbing cases in history. What really happened? For more info, visit BigSeance.com/145
