In The Conjuring 2, which English town is associated with the Enfield poltergeist case?

The story behind the answer

In The Conjuring 2, the Enfield poltergeist case is associated with Enfield.

The 2016 supernatural horror film follows paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they become involved with a troubled family in Enfield, a district of north London. The story is inspired by reports from the Hodgson family home during the late 1970s, when witnesses described unexplained movements, noises and alleged paranormal activity.

Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return as the Warrens after appearing in the first Conjuring film. The sequel shifts the setting from the Perron family’s Rhode Island farmhouse to England, giving the franchise a different cultural and geographical backdrop.

The real Enfield case remains controversial. Some investigators and journalists accepted parts of the story, while others argued that the children involved fabricated or exaggerated events. The film dramatizes the case and adds fictionalized elements, so its plot should not be treated as a complete historical record. Enfield itself is a real area in Greater London.
