Ep. 106: The Enfield Poltergeist

This week we take a long, hard look at one of the most publicized hauntings in British history - and the inspiration for the 2016 hit The Conjuring 2 - the Enfield poltergeist. 

As a single mother with four kids in 1977, Peggy Hodgson had her hands full even before something started throwing things around her house and pulling her kids out of their beds at night. Eleven year old Janet, rumored to be the center of the haunting, even seemed to channel the spirit of a dead (and quite grumpy) man named Bill and speak with his voice.

So... what was going on here?? On this week's show we comb through the months of paranormal phenomena, the multiple investigations of the house, and try to untangle fact from fiction in one of Ed and Lorraine Warren's best-known claims to fame.
