Other mistake: The clocks as we learn later in the film stop at 03:07 due to that being the time the witch died. However, the grandfather clock we see for the first time has stopped at 03:07. We then see it stop at 03:07 the next night too. However the minute hand is in a different spot to when it first stopped - it should have stopped at precisely the same point. (00:13:05 - 00:18:50)

Ed Warren: We've been called ghost hunters. Paranormal researchers. Wackos.

Trivia: The film is loosely inspired by a real-life paranormal investigation by investigators Edd and Lorraine Warren, though new elements were added to the story in order to make it more cinematic.
Question: What did Lorraine Warren see during the footage where they participated in an exorcism of a farmer? She stared into his eyes and screamed, then they mentioned that she locked herself in her room for several days, and that it affected her badly. Has that ever been explained?
Answer: Ed's death.
