Points of Interest[]

3506 Wayman Street: 3506 Wayman Street is the location of the Warren residence owned by paranormal researchers Ed & Lorraine Warren. It is located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The Warrens' daughter Judy Warren was born there and Lorraine's mother-in-law, Georgiana Moran lived there for a time as well. In the early 1970s, teenager Bob Palmeri and his father lived across the street from the Warrens.

Maryville Cemetery: Maryville Cemetery was located on a dark desolate road on the outskirts of Bridgeport. Late in the evening of 1968, Ed and Lorrane Warren were returning home after acquiring a cursed doll named Annabelle. They came upon a traffic accident, which claimed the life of at least one young woman. A police officer told them they had to turn around, go back three miles and take a detour. As they drove back, the evil infused in the Annabelle doll began to manifest. Ed's car suddenly went dead and drifted to a stop. Ed got out to look under the hood, while Lorraine stayed in the car. Because the Annabelle doll was a beacon for other spirits, the ghosts of those who resided in the cemetery began to manifest behind the gates of the cemetery. Several others gathered around Ed Warren. Lorraine observed the ghost of the young woman who died in the car accident in the back seat of their car. As Ed finished repairs, a truck passed by, nearly running him over. The driver screeched to a halt, got out and apologized, saying that something had taken control of his truck.

St. Thomas Catholic School: St. Thomas Catholic School was a private school located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. In the early 1970s, Judy Warren attended school here as did classmate Anthony Rios. Anthony's older sister, Daniela likely attended class here as well when she was younger. The ghost of one of the priests who had worked at the school was known to haunt its grounds.
