? One of the most famous ghost stories ever told. The Enfield Poltergeist is based on the 1977 haunting of a family in Enfield, London. This four-part docuseries shows real audio recordings from the initial investigation, paired with dramatized reenactments that bring the eerie events to life.
The plot: Maurice Grosse (Christopher Ettridge) is a paranormal investigator who looks into the strange things happening at the home of the Hodgson family. The focus is on 11-year-old Janet Hodgson (Olivia Booth-Ford), who is the main victim of bizarre activity — we’re talking flying furniture and strange voices.
The storytelling style is quite unique. The original recordings are incorporated into the plot through the actors lipsyncing them — so you’re hearing the audio from 1977, while watching the events unfold. It's very creepy, but also very cool.
Throughout the episodes, doubts around the case are introduced to the audience. With the over-the-top ghostly antics and strange activity, viewers are left to wonder if the entire story was actually just an elaborate hoax — with a bunch of unanswered questions lingering after the curtain’s fall.
