The Enfield Poltergeist case took place between 1977 and 1979 at 284 Green Street in Enfield, North London. What makes this case stand out is the sheer number of credible witnesses: police officers, neighbors, journalists, photographers, social workers, and investigators. Over 1,500 incidents were documented. This wasn’t a one-night scare. It was a two-year ordeal.

The haunting began when Peggy Hodgson, a single mother, heard her daughters Janet (11) and Margaret (13) screaming. When she entered their room, she saw a chest of drawers sliding across the floor on its own. The girls were pressed against the wall, terrified. Peggy pushed the chest back, but it moved again as if someone was pushing from the other side. That moment marked the start of the activity.
