The Enfield Poltergeist: What Truly Happened?

In 1977, an ordinary family home in North London became the centre of one of the most infamous paranormal investigations in history. At 284 Green Street, Enfield, the Hodgson family claimed they were experiencing something terrifying. Furniture moved on its own, mysterious knocks echoed through the walls, objects were reportedly thrown across rooms, and one young girl began speaking in a disturbing voice belonging to someone who supposedly died inside the house. As the strange events continued, paranormal investigators Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair arrived to uncover what was happening. They recorded hours of audio, witnessed bizarre disturbances, and documented incidents that would leave the paranormal community divided. But the story doesn't end there. In 1978, famous American paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren travelled to England to investigate the haunting themselves. What did they discover, and how did their involvement shape the story? In this episode of Candlereid, we explore the chilling events at Enfield, the mysterious voice of Bill Wilkins, the infamous levitation photographs, the investigators, the controversy surrounding the Warrens, and the accusations that some of the activity was faked. Was the Hodgson family genuinely experiencing something supernatural? Was it an elaborate hoax? Or is there something about the Enfield case that we still cannot explain? 🎙️ Follow Candlereid for more true crime, paranormal investigations, dark history, and all things horror.
