Enfield, eine britische Kleinstadt im Jahre In einem gewöhnlichen Einfamilienhaus werden die elfjährige Janet und ihre Familie von unerklärlichen Geräuschen, Stimmen und herumfliegenden Gegenständen tyrannisiert. Ein Amateurforscher der. The Enfield Haunting. Staffel 1. () Unerklärliche Geschehnisse ereignen sich in einem Haus im Londoner Stadtbezirk Enfield im Jahr Maurice. Entdecken Sie The Enfield Haunting - Unsichtbare Besucher - Die Komplette Serie [2 DVDs] und weitere TV-Serien auf DVD- & Blu-ray in unserem vielfältigen. Auch bekannt als „Enfield Poltergeist“ sorgte der Vorfall für viel Aufsehen – nicht nur in England. Die Geschichte. "Enfield Poltergeist" zusammengefasst wurden. In Großbritannien wurde der Dreiteiler vor einem Jahr auf dem Pay-TV-Spartenkanal Sky Living ausgestrahlt. The Enfield Haunting - Unsichtbare Besucher ist eine Serie von Joshua St. Johnston mit Timothy Spall (Maurice Grosse), Matthew Macfadyen. THE ENFIELD HAUNTING – Unsichtbare Besucher nimmt den Zuschauer mit ins London der Siebzigerjahre. Hier lebt Peggy Hodgson, eine.

Lonely, she perpetuated the story. There is some merit to these arguments. Was Janet Hodgson really possessed? Did the ghost of Bill Wilkins manifest himself through the girl?
Or was the haunting all for show? Forty years have passed since the house on Green Street was allegedly haunted. Peggy Hodgson is now deceased; she died in that same home, reportedly in the same chair as had Bill Wilkins.
Margaret and Janet have left the spotlight, returning only occasionally for an interview. Billy and Johnny had very little to do with the Enfield haunting.
Johnny was not present for a majority of the events, and Billy was very young at the time. Maurice Grosse has passed away, as has Ed Warren.
Guy Lyon Playfair still lives, and he is, perhaps, the most reliable witness to the events in Enfield. The book, almost pages in length, recounts the full story of the Enfield Haunting.
Those who have read This House is Haunted offer mixed reviews of the book. In the preface to the book, Guy Lyon Playfair states that he means to provide the unbiased and wholly authentic story.
The book was meant as a narrative, but instead provides more of a technical report of the Enfield haunting. Janet is the only character in the book who does not earn a pseudonym.
Other than the fictionalized names, Guy Lyon Playfair has maintained that the integrity of the book is intact. He claims that the events and paranormal occurrences described within are described exactly as they happened in s Enfield.
As with the Warrens, it could be said that Guy Lyon Playfair stood to gain from the publication of this book. While not a bestseller, the book did sell a great many copies upon its release.
To date, over , copies have been purchased. While , is no means a huge sales performance, the number does point to the importance of the events in Enfield.
It also serves as proof that Playfair, as well as others, did gain monetarily by insisting the events were not a hoax.
While Playfair claims that each of the events recorded in the book were accurately describes, Janet Hodgson herself does not. Both in interviews at the time of the alleged haunting and in those more recent, Janet Hodgson confesses to having a hand in a few of the occurrences at the family home.
In fact, there were many times when the girl was caught on video, banging on walls or attempting to bend silverware. Those who believe the story of the Enfield haunting all hold a common belief.
These people believe that the girl was simply bored. Maurice Grosse, in particular, must have felt overwhelmed upon his arrival. After all, he enlisted the help of a fellow investigator.
However, as time wore on, the men would catch the girls in the act. As stated, there are thousands upon thousands of naysayers who do not believe the Enfield haunting was real.
To begin exploring these arguments, one must first understand the definition of the word poltergeist. There have been many accounts of poltergeists throughout history, some written accounts dating as far back as the s.
In none of these cases are poltergeists said to inhabit the body of a person. Instead, bodily possessions are more commonly thought to be demonic.
However, experts on the paranormal claim that, in rare cases, a person may be possessed by a poltergeist. They may lose time, and upon awakening they will not realize that they had not been mentally present.
This is not true in the case of Janet Hodgson. Instead, quite the opposite was true. The voice of Bill Wilkins would manifest on demand, and Janet was fully aware of the events as they happened.
A majority of poltergeist activity throughout history has been disproven — the activity was no more than the activity of those wishing to seek trouble.
In the same way that the voice of Bill Wilkins would come from Janet on command, other events are thought to be suspicious as well.
Maurice Grosse, in a television interview, states that Janet had little knowledge of the supernatural prior to his arrival.
Those who are sceptical of the Enfield haunting and the Hodgson story have brought up an interesting observation.
These critics have pointed out that paranormal activities did not begin until Janet was told that they should. The Enfield haunting could have been further fuelled by suggestions by the investigators themselves.
When investigators told Janet that sometimes poltergeists would speak, she began the voices. Again, this examination of the Enfield haunting is not meant to call the Hodgson family out, or to call them con artists.
Instead, the goal is to simply illuminate the case, shedding light on arguments of both the believer and the sceptic. While some believe that Janet Hodgson was possessed by Bill Wilkins, other think she was merely acting on the power of suggestion.
In the approximately 18 months that Janet Hodgson was allegedly possessed by the spirit of Bill Wilkins, no exorcism was performed.
It does, however, imply that the family may not have thought of demonic possession as a real possibility, and that the Enfield haunting was a story, stolen from headlines from around the world.
Historically, when a person is thought to be possessed by a spirit, exorcism is performed. Some notable cases of this have been recorded throughout history, and many of these took place in the s.
Anneliese Michel of West Germany is one such. She had a history of mental illness and underwent over 70 exorcism rituals between the years of and Incidentally, this was immediately prior to the Enfield haunting.
Anneliese Michel ultimately died of malnutrition and dehydration. The Smurl family experienced what is thought to be a possession as well. In , American couple Jack and Janet Smurl complained of paranormal activity in their home.
This event, too, was highly publicized. Ed and Lorraine Warren were among the investigators. While no exorcism was involved in this case, the notoriety of the trial introduced many to demonic possession.
Neither demonic possession nor poltergeists are unheard of in accounts throughout history. But criticism of the Hodgson family holds that the girls pieced stories together, creating their own monster.
Janet Hodgson never underwent exorcism. The Enfield haunting did, however, end. At the end of the decade, and after months of arduous investigation, Janet Hodgson was brought in to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.
She spent two months in the hospital, and the Enfield haunting stopped. It was mentioned that a poltergeist is not commonly found to inhibit the body of a living person.
It was also noted that exorcism works primarily in the case of demon possession as opposed to poltergeist activity. In the case of Janet Hodgson, exorcism was not necessary.
All that was necessary was psychiatric evaluation. Those who believe the Hodgson haunting was real believe that when the girl left the home, the poltergeist did as well.
Sceptics, however, believe that when Janet was treated for psychiatric disorders, the poltergeist ceased to exist in her mind. The reason for the end of the haunting is unclear.
What is clear, however, is that as Janet was evaluated and even threatened with electroshock therapy, the haunting suddenly ceased. Or was Janet simply threatened enough that she chose to give up the act?
There are many theories as to why Janet Hodgson displayed the behaviours she did. Doctors frequently prescribed her calming pills.
The honesty of the Hodgson family will likely always be doubted, and the truth will likely never be known. Neither believers nor sceptics, however, can explain the sudden departure of the Enfield poltergeist.
Since the Enfield haunting ended, Janet has remained out of the public eye. She now lives in Clacton-on-Sea in Essex with her husband and her three children.
Janet Hodgson, now Janet Winter, does not speak often about the events of the s. Conversations about the past are limited within her family, and her youngest child does not know about the haunting at all.
She and her sister Margaret have been the subject of television documentaries and have served as the inspiration for several films. One of these films, The Conjuring 2 , was released in June of Prior to its release, Janet and Margaret were frequently interviewed.
Neither woman has backed down from the claim that the Enfield house, and Janet, were disturbed by the ghost of Bill Wilkins. However, their stories have changed.
Janet claims to remember very little of the haunting. She recounts the most memorable details — furniture moving, matches spontaneously lit — but does not go into detail about much.
She speaks of the events as if she were an outsider observing them. No member of the Hodgson family has been able to explain how the Enfield haunting stopped.
As mentioned, Janet Hodgson went into therapy in a psychiatric hospital. Upon her return to the home, the poltergeist was mysteriously no longer present.
Janet Hodgson and her family have no answers today. Much research has gone into the creation of this site. Sources ranging from books and news articles to even movies and documentaries were pored over in an effort to compile facts.
During that research, many sources which were critical of the Hodgsons presented themselves. While this examination is meant to outline the facts of the case, it remains true that the s events in Enfield remain heavily deliberated upon.
But there are several well-known voices which have also sounded over the years. Perhaps one of the most outspoken voices against Janet Hodgson and the Enfield haunting is Joe Nickell.
Nickell is an American paranormal investigator. Joe Nickell is no stranger to illusion and trickery. He is only paranormal investigator in the world who holds the job full time.
He prides himself on his desire to fully investigate all sides of a paranormal phenomenon. But he remains one of the most adamant experts as he insists that the Enfield haunting was a hoax.
Deborah Hyde was mentioned previously as a sceptic in the Enfield poltergeist case. In a article, she wrote the following of the Enfield haunting:.
There is evidence that a range of reasonable factors that can lead perfectly sane people to believe they are in the presence of a supernatural force.
In short, Hyde believes that humans lack the capacity to pay attention to everything at all times. The materialisation of objects, for example, could have been just a witness noticing the object for the first time.
There are a number of factors which Hyde claims could be cause of the haunting and the perpetuation thereof. Chris French is a psychology professor at University of London.
Conjurers have been doing it for centuries. This is an interest more likely held by prepubescent girls than a dead man.
Similar to statements made by Deborah Hyde, French believes that the power of suggestion can cause people to see things which are not there.
In fact, a majority of poltergeist cases throughout history have been investigated and attributed to just that — pranks. Milbourne Christopher served as President to the Society of American Magicians until his death in He was also one of the founding members of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.
However, he did investigate the events, and concluded that it was a hoax. He released the following statement:. The poltergeist was nothing more than the antics of a little girl who wanted to cause trouble and who was very, very, clever.
Bob Couttie is not a paranormal investigator, nor does he have the credentials of the critics listed above. Couttie is a magician, and he, too, investigated the Enfield poltergeist.
He paid particular attention to the recordings of Janet as she presumably spoke in the voice of Bill Wilkins. Having listened to [the recordings] very carefully, I came to the conclusion that there was nothing in what I had heard that was beyond the capabilities of an imaginative teenager.
Anita Gregory was a member of the Society for Psychical Research prior to her death in She was one of the handful of investigators who was sent to investigate the Enfield haunting in the very beginning stages.
Anita Gregory published a report on her findings at the Hodgson home. And, despite her nature as a firm believer in the paranormal, she was very, very sceptical of the case.
Gregory witnessed Janet bending spoons, and attempting to bend an iron bar. She also stated that the girls were staging incidents in order to gain media publicity.
Both came to the conclusion that the Enfield haunting was a hoax. A case as widely popularized by the media as the Enfield haunting obviously stirred much interest in the paranormal.
The haunting was low hanging fruit for screenwriters, authors and others. A single mother to four children experiences a haunting in an otherwise normal neighbourhood.
As a result, there are many references to the Enfield poltergeist in popular culture. Some are explicit, while some are more obscure.
Most are dramatized while a few aim to tell the story factually. Compiled below are a list of media references to the Enfield haunting.
It is by no means a conclusive list; the case gained such notoriety that it would be impossible to cite all references.
These, however, are the stories which have become the most popular amongst those who have developed an interest in the Enfield haunting.
The Conjuring 2 was released in the summer of and contains the most explicit references to the Enfield poltergeist. This segment, itself, is highly dramatized and not true to the real Amityville story.
Upon conclusion of the investigation, Lorraine Warren vows to never participate in paranormal investigation again.
The Conjuring 2 is supposedly about the Enfield haunting. However, within the film, Ed and Lorraine Warren are plagued by demons, ghastly nuns and other spectres, while the Hodgson family are portrayed as secondary characters.
In reality, Ed and Lorraine Warren had very little to do with the Enfield investigation. The story is highly sensationalized and was written and directed as a horror film.
They participated in a number of interviews prior to the release of the film. By , many of the key players in the Enfield haunting had passed away.
Most notable, Peggy Hodgson and Maurice Grosse had died over a decade earlier, and were obviously unable to be interviewed.
Lorraine Warren was present for many of these interviews as well. As was stated previously, Janet and Margaret Hodgson claim today that they have little recollection of the events which occurred from to The stories which they do recall have changed slightly since that time.
However, during their interviews, the women confessed to have fabricating some of the events which supposedly occurred.
Janet explained this in the following manner:. She recalls Maurice Grosse with fondness, and remembers that he would sometimes become annoyed with her pranks.
Many of the interviews with Janet and her sister were under the public eye — promotional material of sorts for the release of The Conjuring 2.
Storr conducted an interview with Janet which was out of the limelight, and Janet was no more specific about the Enfield events.
Lorraine Warren, for some reason, was present for an emotional reunion with the Hodgson girls. The actress who portrayed Warren, Vera Farmiga, participated in several on screen interviews prior to the release of The Conjuring 2.
In those interviews, Farmiga states that Warren had cited the Enfield haunting as one of the most terrifying of her career.
WPC Heeps, the constable who was present that first night of the Enfield haunting, was briefly interviewed when The Conjuring 2 was released.
In this interview, she recalls that the living room chair elevated a few inches before sliding across the floor. While admittedly a very minor detail, Heeps was quoted in as saying that the chair did not, in fact, leave the ground.
Instead, it was said to have wobbled and then slid, unaided. Again, this is a minor detail, but goes toward the argument that stories are changed and exaggerated.
Directed by Tobe Hooper and produced by Steven Spielberg, this film is loosely based on the Hodgson family.
The story follows a family, the Freelings, as their home and daughter are afflicted by an evil spirit. Perhaps the most widely recommended of the screen works is the three part miniseries The Enfield Haunting.
This series takes a deeper look at the emotional relationships between members of the Hodgson family, Guy Lyon Playfair and Maurice Grosse. Nor does it fabricate events and spirits as did The Conjuring 2.
Instead, the series takes a more subtle approach to the haunting. Janet is portrayed as a vivacious, even mischievous girl. The most interesting facet of this adaptation is the character of Maurice Grosse.
The Enfield Haunting looks closely at Grosse, and examines the death of his daughter. Ghostwatch was a bizarre type of film. It first aired on BBC1 an Halloween night of Created as a mockumentary, the film was just realistic enough that viewers believed they were watching a true documentary.
The film itself was no great work. Martin Denham, 18 years of age, committed suicide five days after the programme aired. In , psychologists recorded the first instances of post traumatic stress disorder caused by television.
Whether sceptic or believer, anyone who wishes to learn more about the investigation should start here. There have been other books which mention the Enfield haunting, however.
What follows are a few of these titles; while not explicitly about the Enfield haunting, they serve as research tools for those wishing to dig deeper.
Will Storr was the journalist who tracked down Janet Hodgson in recent years. The reason he did so was to conduct research for his book, Will Storr vs the Supernatural.
Storr is a self-identified sceptic. He also speaks of his experiences with Janet Hodgson. As one who is sceptical of the supernatural, Storr expected to proclaim that Janet Hodgson was a liar and a fraud.
He did not do so, however, and Will Storr vs the Supernatural tells of his experiences with the woman as well as other paranormal activity. However, it may serve as invaluable material for those wishing to understand Janet.
Haunted Enfield was written by Jason Hollis, a native of Enfield. Hollis spent years compiling research, largely due to a sense of frustration. His home is known for a few, notable cases of hauntings, but Hollis spent his childhood hearing stories of many more.
Haunted Enfield is a tour book, of sorts. Readers will be led across the landscape of Enfield and the surrounding area while Hollis tells stories of haunted places.
It would be impossible to include every article written on the Enfield haunting in this list. Many articles have been written on the subject of the Enfield haunting.
For a more comprehensive bibliography, please visit our directory page. There you will find a list of articles by both professionals and armchair critics.
A number of books may also provide useful to you in your research which are not listed above. Ed and Lorraine Warren authored many titles. Of course, the Warrens were not present during the haunting, but by reading these books one can understand better the nature of paranormal investigation.
Hundreds of books exist, also, about poltergeists and demonology. Poltergeist activity dates back to the s in written history, but most likely events occurred before that of which we have no record.
The phenomena are quite intriguing, and have captured the imaginations of authors throughout history. Searching Amazon or browsing the titles at your local bookstore will result in more books on poltergeists and hauntings than one could read in a lifetime.
The goal of this site is to provide a comprehensive look at what happened to Janet Hodgson and her family from to Instead, we strive to provide opposing sides to the same story.
There are those who believe the Hodgson sisters were fraudulent in their assertions that the house was haunted. And still others believe that poor Janet Hodgson, a child of only 11 years old, was controlled by forces bigger than herself and against her will.
What you determine to be the truth is up to you. We strongly encourage you to research the sources cited within this page, and to look at the websites and other resources listed in our directory.
These accounts and opinions will help you to form your own assessment. We are human, however, and we have formulated our own conclusions on the matters of the Enfield haunting and of the Hodgson family.
We are a team of both sceptics and devotees to the paranormal. The Enfield haunting certainly gained infamy in the 40 years which have passed since.
We hope to have helped you navigate through what was, and will continue to be, one of the most highly disputed cases of paranormal activity of our time.
The Enfield Haunting. The Hodgson Family Peggy Hodgson was a single mother of four. The police were also called, and two constables soon arrived at the home, Vic was the first to search the home.
The Hodgson family and their neighbours were stumped. They needed help. Investigator Maurice Grosse Maurice Grosse was a successful inventor.
The Grosse and Playfair Investigation There were visits. Caroline Heeps As mentioned, a police constable who visited the Enfield home also claims to have witnessed the paranormal.
The Enfield Haunting Recordings Over the course of time in which Playfair and Grosse were present in the Hodgson home, several recordings were made.
False Vocal Chord Tone To begin, the voice which is heard on the recordings is gruff, indeed. Ventriloquism Ray Alan was a ventriloquist from Greenwich.
No video evidence of this event exists. In that recording, the girl stated: My name is Bill. Janet Hodgson: Photographic Evidence In addition to claims that Janet spoke as Bill Wilkins, there are assertions that the girl was physically affected as well.
That recording was played on the radio, and a man, Terry, came forward. He claimed that he recognized the voice as belonging to his late father.
Bill Wilkins was only one of a number of spirits who supposedly spoke through Janet. In interviews, Janet and her sister Margaret report that anywhere between 6 and spirits spoke directly through the girl, but Bill Wilkins is the only who has been identified.
Countless investigations were conducted during and after the Enfield haunting; as a result the recordings were played on radio and Terry came forward.
The others manifested solely for eyewitnesses. In other words, the spirits performed when there was no audience.
In tape recordings in which Bill Wilkins is speaking through Janet, the voice is very deep, gruff, and carries a heavy accent.
In these instances, the voice is more high pitched and raspy — much like an 11 year old impersonating a man. Critics note that in the videos, Janet can be seen covering her mouth as she speaks.
Janet, however, claims that investigator Maurice Grosse proved naysayers wrong. He filled her mouth with water and covered her mouth with tape, yet the voice still spoke through her.
There is no video record of this having occurred. The most reliable evidence we have today is that Terry Wilkins came forward to identify the voice as that of his father.
However, the same can be said for Terry Wilkins as can be said for Janet Hodgson: the publicity may have been enough to prompt him to do so.
Believers in the paranormal have questioned how Janet would have known the exact way in which Bill Wilkins died, and where his body was found.
But those skeptical of the Enfield haunting argue that Janet could have simply overheard a neighbor. Janet sometimes uses vocabulary which is atypical for an 11 year old girl.
Though sometimes the words she uses are quite juvenile — for example, spelling out the word g-h-o-s-t — at other times her choice of words and her crude language sound very adult.
Are the Bill Recordings real? There are few reliable witnesses to the events of Enfield in the s, and those who were there have very differing opinions.
Janet Hodgson, now Janet Winter, still claims that these events did occur. She maintains that Bill Wilkins spoke through her, and that she was possessed by the spirit of the former tenant of Green Street, the Enfield Haunting house.
