I’ve just been reading this (probably not the best timing as I’m about to go to bed 😳) I can’t believe something like this could happen, but there do seem to have been a number of witnesses! What do you all make of it?

Enfield Poltergeist child reveals TERRIFYING ordeal

Among the pre-war homes lining Green Street in Enfield, there is little to distinguish number 284. It was once the centre of one of the most baffling ghost stories.

I watched the series on TV a couple of years ago

I managed to find the actual house on Google street view and I remember there was something weird in one of the downstairs windows but I've forgotten what it was!

If you look at the old photos on google maps I think they show Jesus House written in the window

Uncanny is really good I remember the photographer saying he saw things and I remember years ago a member of the police also saw some weird things.

jesus house is written in the window but I know a young family live there so I think pilgrimages there and stalking it down etc are a bit much

I actually lived in Edmonton then so got the 279 to school every day. I moved south of the river for 10 years then back up the A10 since early 90s. I am about 5 miles away now. I havent been down there for a long time now , have passed the school a few times over the years It looks weird with the pitch roof instead of the flat roof on the block that used to be for the 1st and 2nd years, the playground is now a carpark .

Enfield had a different feel then, especially that bit of the Highway. I remember walking up there with my mates and my spending money to go to Keith’s and we would share a milkshake from the wimpy and sit on the wall at the bottom of brick lane. Two greggs 🤣 It’s not like that now. At all.

That’s why I feel like the legend of this grew so quickly, it’s London but like a village, especially In brimsdown where we were considered the poor relations of the Enfield town lot. Everyone knows everyone.

The family must have felt famous. They would never admit they lied.
