Enfield Poltergeist , the story of Conjuring 2 : Most Famous Horror account
The Enfield Poltergeist is the name given to the claims of poltergeist activity at a house in Brimsdown, Enfield, England from 1977–1979. Although some members of the Society for Psychical Research such as Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair believed the haunting to be genuine, others such as Anita Gregory and John Beloff were “unconvinced”.
THE CASE BECAME SO FAMOUS, THAT NEWS WAS PUBLIHSED ON FRONT PAGE OF UK PROMINENT NEWSPAPER
In August 1977, single parent Peggy Hodgson called police to her rented home in Enfield after two of her four children claimed that furniture was moving and knocking sounds were heard on walls. The children included Margaret, age 13, Janet, age 11, Johnny, age 10 and Billy, age 7. THE FAMILY STARTED WITNESSING WEIRD OCCURENCES AND IN SHOCK AND TERROR CALLED THE POLICE.
- A police constable saw a chair slide on the floor but couldn’t determine if it moved by itself or was pushed by someone.
- Later claims included allegedly demonic voices, loud noises, thrown rocks and toys, overturned chairs and levitation of children.
- Reports of further incidents in the house attracted considerable press attention and the story was covered in British newspapers such as the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror, until reports came to an end in 1979.
- On Halloween 2011, BBC News featured comments from a radio interview with photographer Graham Morris, who claimed that a considerable portion of the events were genuine.
THE ABNORMAL ACTIVITIES CONTINUED FOR A TERRORISING 13 MONTHS.
LIKE ANY OTHER HORROR FLICK LEGO BRICKS FLEW IN AIR, NOISES, LIGHTNING UP OF SUDDEN FIRE, BENDING OF SPOONS, THROWING OF TOYS AND UPTURNED FURNITURES DRAGGED TO 4-5 METRES WAS WITNESSED BY MANY INVESTIGATORS , PHOTOGRAPHER , AND OTHER WITNESSES, EVEN DURING DAY TIME.
THE BOOK “This House is Haunted: The True Story of a Poltergeist” MENTIONS THAT AS JANET WAS GOING THROUGH PUBERTY, THE DEADLY SOUL ATTACHED MORE TO HER. WHEREVER SHE WENT, IN SHOP, HOME OR SCHOOL, OBJECTS WOULD START MOVING . EVEN AN ACCOUNT OF MOUANING IN THE BATHROOM WAS MENTIONED .
JANET STARTED TALKING IN A MALE VOICE. TO THIS, THE MAIN INVESTIGATOR WHO REMAINED ALWAYS WITH FAMILY FOR FEW MONTHS, BROUGHT A VOICE AND SPEECH EXPERT. WHEN THE EXPERT ASKED THE QUESTION : “WHO ARE YOU”, A WEIRD SCARY MALE VOICE REPLIED” I AM BILL, I AM 72 YEARS OLD”. THIS MADE THE EXPERT TO RUN IN HURRY BEING SCARED TOO MUCH. JANET WOULD CONTINUE SPEAKING IN THAT VOICE FOR 3 -4 HOURS, WHICH IF WOULD HAVE BEEN FAKE, MIGHT HAVE CHOCKED HER LARYNX.
(INVESTIGATOR HAS THE 145+ HOURS OF AUDIO RECORDING)
THE VOICE TOLD THAT, HE DIED IN THE HOUSE AND WAS BLIND MAN. IT WAS LATER CONFIRMED FROM AN EARLIER OWNER THAT HIS FATHER DIED IN SAME MANNER IN THE HOUSE.
Paranormal investigators
Society for Psychical Research members Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair reported “curious whistling and barking noises coming from Janet’s general direction.”
Although Playfair maintained the haunting was genuine and wrote in his later book This House is Haunted: The True Story of a Poltergeist (1980) that an “entity” was to blame for the disturbances, he often doubted the children’s veracity and wondered if they were playing tricks and exaggerating. Still, Grosse and Playfair believed that even though some of the alleged poltergeist activity was faked by the girls, other incidents were genuine.Janet was detected in trickery.
A video camera in the room next door caught her bending spoons and attempting to bend an iron bar.Grosse had observed Janet banging a broom handle on the ceiling and hiding his tape-recorder.
American paranormal investigator Ed Warren claimed that Janet was once “sound asleep, levitating in midair” and concluded that the children were the subject of demonic possession.
In a television interview for BBC Scotland, Janet was observed to gain attention by waving her hand, and then putting her hand in front of her mouth while a claimed “disembodied” voice was heard. During the interview both girls were asked the question “How does it feel to be haunted by a poltergeist?” Janet replied “It’s not haunting” and Margaret interrupted “Shut up”. These factors have been regarded by sceptics as evidence against the case.
- In 1992, the BBC aired a mockumentary entitled Ghostwatch, written by Stephen Volk and based on the Enfield Poltergeist.
- In March 2007, Channel 4 aired a documentary about the Enfield poltergeist, entitled Interview with a Poltergeist.
- The Enfield poltergeist has been featured in episodes of ITV series Strange But True? and Extreme Ghost Stories.
- The Enfield poltergeist was the subject of the 2015 Sky Living television series The Enfield Haunting which was broadcast on the 3rd of May 2015, and the 2016 theatrical film The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist.
THE ACTIVITIES IN THE HOUSE SEIZED WHEN A MEDIUM FROM HOLLAND INTERCEPTED WITH THE GHOST SOUL FOR 20 MINUTES IN THE BEDROOM.
