The Enfield Poltergeist — Voices in the North London Night
About this episode
This episode explores the Enfield Poltergeist case, detailing the unexplained disturbances experienced by the Hodgson family in 1977.
In 1977, the Hodgson family in Enfield, North London began experiencing unexplained disturbances inside their home: knocking sounds, moving furniture, flying objects, and children being thrown from beds. Police and numerous witnesses reported seeing objects move without human contact. The activity focused mainly around 11-year-old Janet, who later spoke in a deep male voice claiming to be a former resident who died in the house. Paranormal investigators observed and recorded events for over a year, documenting levitations, intelligent knocking responses, and voices that continued even when Janet could not physically produce them. Although skeptics believed parts were faked — and Janet admitted to minor tricks — many incidents occurred under conditions that observers said were impossible to stage. After nearly two years, the phenomena suddenly stopped without explanation. The case remains one of the most debated hauntings in history, leaving unanswered whether it was psychological, deceptive, or genuinely paranormal.
