Interview with a Poltergeist

Interview with a Poltergeist

Watch this episode now on 4oD A girl jumps around

In August 1977, strange things started to happen in a quiet, north London suburb. This unusual and terrifying activity, which lasted several months, centred on 11-year-old Janet Hodgson and became known as the Enfield Poltergeist.

Among those who witnessed this apparently paranormal activity were journalists and the police. Some of the evidence is controversial. But 30 years on, it remains the best-documented and most puzzling case of its kind, and might be the first time that a spirit voice has been captured on tape.

This documentary examines these strange events, with contributions from several witnesses, including Janet, journalists and paranormal investigators. It also explores the case against a paranormal explanation, while revealing remarkable sound recordings from the house and footage of Janet apparently being thrown around her bedroom.

  1. I managed to watch this programme a while ago on 40d then a few months later i wanted to watch it again on 40d as this programme is very interesting but second time it would not work and i see it is still not working. Which begs a question why the heck is this programme advertised to watch if it is unavailable to play??? guess i will never know!!!

  7. This is so annoying. The 4oD player worked FINE, I'm stumped as to why you've suddenly gone and replaced it with this dire set-up, where half the stuff is unavailable but dangled tantalizingly in front of us! Get on it, yeah? We want to watch this stuff.
