The Enfield Poltergeist: Haunting on Green Street

In this episode of the Compendium, we delve into the chilling saga of 'The Enfield Poltergeist'. Set in a seemingly ordinary house in Enfield, North London in the late 1970s.  We explore the intense, real-life experiences of the Hodgson family, whose encounters with a poltergeist have made their story one of the most documented in paranormal history. We discuss some of the pictures and recordings presented and unravel some of the layers of this intriguing case.

Together we question in a less than elloquent way the boundaries of reality and the supernatural. The Enfield Poltergeist not only challenges our understanding of the paranormal but also leaves us pondering how serious this case would be taken if it happened today. Join us as we piece together a story that continues to captivate and mystify.
