About this listen

Join host Eleanor Voss as she explores the Enfield Poltergeist, Britain's most extensively documented paranormal case. In 1977, the Hodgson family's council house in North London became the center of unexplained phenomena that captivated investigators worldwide. This episode examines the two-year period during which over 1,500 incidents were documented by researchers from the Society for Psychical Research, including Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair. We explore the controversial voice phenomena involving eleven-year-old Janet Hodgson, the famous levitation photographs, and the police testimony that lent credibility to the case. The episode also addresses the skeptical perspectives, including documented instances of apparent fraud and the debates that continue to surround the case today. From the initial police reports to international media coverage, the Enfield case offers a fascinating study in paranormal investigation, witness testimony, and the cultural impact of unexplained phenomena. Whether viewed as genuine supernatural activity or an elaborate hoax, the Enfield Poltergeist remains a landmark case that continues to influence paranormal research and popular culture decades after the events concluded in 1979.
