The Enfield Haunting

Overview

The Hodgsons had no idea what a poltergeist was when, in the summer of 1977, furniture and toys started moving of their own accord. An ordinary, working-class family who lived in a north London council house became the centre of one of the most famous poltergeist events in the world. This is the story of one night in the spring of 1978 when events were approaching a climax. Inspired by first-hand accounts of one of the ghost hunters, The Enfield Haunting is the story of what happens when a dedicated single mother tries to protect her three children from something that is incomprehensible, deeply disturbing and hurtling toward a terrifying conclusion.
