The Enfield Poltergeist

The Enfield Poltergeist was a well-documented haunting in 1977-1978 in Enfield, England, involving alleged supernatural activity in a council house. Witnesses reported objects moving, noises, and raps, with physical disturbances and a girl seemingly possessed. Investigations by paranormal researchers and media attention initially supported claims of paranormal phenomena.
