Spoilers ahead
In 1975, the scene is set in Amityville, Long Island, New York, where paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) sit down with the troubled Lutz family, who claim their home is haunted. This residence is infamous due to the horrific murder that took place there a year ago, where Ronald DeFeo, Jr. brutally killed his family with a shotgun. During a séance, Lorraine experiences a chilling vision; she sees herself in Ronald’s place during the tragic night, committing heinous acts against his family. Amid this nightmarish imagery, she is confronted by a demonic entity in the shape of a nun, culminating in the sight of a man perishing. Ed quickly pulls Lorraine from the horrifying vision, providing her some much-needed comfort.
