The Enfield Haunting
T01719296578
The Hodgson's had no idea what a poltergeist was when, in the summer of 1977, furniture and toys started moving of their own accord. They were an ordinary, working-class family, who lived in a North London council house at 284 Green Street, Enfield, but for the next eighteen months became the centre of one of the most famous poltergeist events in the world. Janet, the possessed sixteen-year-old, was nearly pulled out of a window. The local ‘lolly pop lady' saw her floating six feet in the air in an upstairs room and Janet was found fast asleep in a neighbours' bed. There are tapes of Janet growling for hours in a voice that doctors said would destroy a sixteen-year-old girl's vocal cords after a few minutes.
