Episode Rundown
In the quiet corners of Enfield, London, where the streets are lined with ordinary lives, there stood a house that whispered secrets into the night. It was the autumn of '77 when the Hodgson family moved into 284 Green Street, unsuspecting of the shadows that lurked within its walls. Peggy Hodgson, a single mother with four children, sought nothing more than a place to call home. But the house, with its creaky floors and silent stories, had other plans. It wasn't long before the ordinary turned eerie, where toys didn't just play but seemed to live, and furniture moved with a will of its own.
This wasn't the tale of a ghost, but something far more unsettling, a poltergeist that made its presence known through the laughter of the unseen, the cold touch of the unknown, and the voice of a child speaking in tones of the grave. The Hodgson children, especially young Janet, became the unwilling conduits for this spectral force. Neighbors heard the screams, the police witnessed the impossible, and investigators from the Society for Psychical Research captured the chaos on tape. What unfolded was a saga of terror where reality bent, leaving behind questions that haunt to this day. Here begins the story of the Enfield Poltergeist, a chilling reminder that sometimes, the darkest mysteries reside in the most unsuspecting places.
We'll see you on the inside…
