This week, we take a trip back to August 1977 and the beginning of an 18-month nightmare for the Hodgson family, from Enfield in North London.   

The Hodgsons found themselves under siege from a malevolent poltergeist who targetted the children and the Enfield Poltergeist case became an overnight sensation. Within days of it starting, SPR member Maurice Grosse arrived and began to record the events. 

He would later be joined by renowned poltergeist investigator, Guy Lyon Playfair and together, they would catalogue over 1,500 incidents over a period between September 1977 and April 1979.   

We discuss the case, the evidence, the tapes and his new book, "The Enfield Poltergeist Tapes" as well the cases legacy and its place in the pantheon of poltergeist history.
