Episode 92 - The Enfield Haunting That Inspired 'The Conjuring 2'

Author: All That's Interesting October 25, 2023 Duration: 43:38
The Enfield Haunting began with a bang. Literally. In the summer of 1977, Peggy Hodgson heard loud noises coming from her daughters' room, upstairs at their house at 284 Green Street, in Enfield, North London. Hodgson went upstairs to investigate and to tell the girls, Margaret, 12, and Janet, 11, to quiet down and go to bed — only to find them cowering in fear. This is the true story of the Enfield haunting, the poltergeist that plagued the Hodgson family between 1977 and 1979. https://allthatsinteresting.com/the-enfield-haunting credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits Head to http://factormeals.com/historyuncovered50 and use code HISTORYUNCOVERED50 to get 50% off Factor, America’s #1 Ready-To-Eat Meal Kit.
