Synopsis[]
In 1986, Ed and Karen Parker move their family from upstate New York into an old Connecticut home to be near the hospital where their teenage son receives cancer treatment.
Soon after learning that their residence was once a funeral home after finding embalming equipment in the basement, their sons Paul and Bobby start seeing what they believe are ghosts. Paul begins seeing evil entities, including four dark men and a claimed demon called the "Man in the Suit", and soon after, his mental health worsens drastically while his physical health begins to improve.
Paul begins to spend more time alone in his room, and his behavior becomes violent and unpredictable. He writes dark, sinister poetry and then even physically attacks his favorite cousin, Theresa. With his behavior becoming increasingly erratic each day, his parents have him moved immediately to a mental hospital. Before his departure, Paul warns his family that even though he is out of the house, the "evil" will begin to attack everyone else. Sure enough, once Paul is gone, the evil forces inhabiting the house turn on the rest of the family. In desperation, the Parkers contact psychic investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren for help.
