The Enfield Poltergeist (1977–1979)

The Enfield Poltergeist (1977–1979) remains one of the most chilling and controversial paranormal cases ever documented in the UK. In a quiet council house on Green Street in Enfield, a single mother and her four children reported terrifying events that escalated from mysterious knocking sounds to furniture moving on its own, objects flying through rooms, and alleged levitation. What began as a local disturbance quickly attracted national attention and divided opinion across the world. Investigated by the Society for Psychical Research, the case was led by paranormal investigators Maurice Grosse and Guy Playfair, who spent over a year documenting hundreds of incidents. Police officers, journalists, photographers, and neighbours all claimed to witness unexplained phenomena—yet sceptics argued that parts of the case were exaggerated or fabricated. Audio recordings allegedly captured a deep, growling voice speaking through one of the children, claiming to be the spirit of a deceased former occupant. Was it genuine possession, a complex hoax, or something far more disturbing? Decades later, the Enfield Poltergeist continues to haunt debates between believers and sceptics alike—and inspired books, documentaries, and major horror films. 👻 Decide for yourself. 🔔 Subscribe for more true, unexplained cases 📖 Based on documented reports, witness statements, and original investigations 💬 What do YOU believe happened in Enfield? #EnfieldPoltergeist #TrueHaunting #UnsolvedMysteries #ParanormalHistory #RealGhostStories #BritishHauntings #TrueCrimeAdjacent
