The Battersea Poltergeist

[winterw]

Is anyone else listening to this it's been gripping but fascinating at the same time I'm not good with these kinda things as I usually get scared easily but I'm loving this
It's tells a real life story but it try's to find a explanation to and it dips in and out the story with real life accounts and interviews well worth a listen .

I’ve listened to it so far - enjoying but sceptical there really was a case! I can’t find anything online about it bar the book and there’s that repeated old clip cut out from a newspaper - I sense an elaborate hoax! But loving it!

Struggling with the scripted drama parts of it, feels a bit like Play for Today. I can't help feeling sceptical about it too, the bit where they went looking for the house and found it didn't exist made was a bit puzzling.

I LOVE it, just listened to latest episode, Shirley is very convincing....can't believe the knocks could come from a hammer toe! I've never seen a ghost but apparently there is one that walks through the row of houses where I live, two of my neighbours have seen her. Was trying to get My DS to sleep when tiny, in the darkness he suddenly pointed up and said 'mummy look at the lights, look at the circles ' i couldn't see a thing...then he said 'oh - they've gone...' through the wall, the same wall that our neighbour saw the ghost walk through into our house 😳

I loved it. But I two wasn’t sure if this was a ‘real’ case or not. I’d never heard of it and I’ve been a Fortean Times subscriber for 20 years!

I think it was the brother.

When the follow up? We were promised a follow up! I think it was the brother too...

It gave me proper goosebumps, which is exactly what I want from radio about a poltergeist. Whether it's fiction or drama!

I read this book a few years ago - I remember thinking wtf, it was so ludicrous, it was clear that she was putting it on because it got her benefits - can't remember the details but think it got her her own room and other things.

I listened to this and thought it was intriguing.

Hoax or not, it's fascinating either way.

I've always liked Ciaran O'Keeffe...he makes me laugh the way he doesn't outright call people liars,but he obviously thinks they are 🤣

Same here. I thought it was all just a drama,. Presented in the style of a documentary!
