In fact, he advises that you look elsewhere if seeking cheap thrills. The author's description of electronic equipment used seems a little tedious at times, but it is easy to understand why he needs to document his work. Personally, I had my own poltergeist experience (which I've reported to the BSPR under my real name); so to me, the book was fascinating, and I blew through it rather quickly.Although I would prefer to give the book four stars, because I feel I didn't quite get to know the family well enough and that there was something a little lacking in this regard, I understand that the author was being respectful in trying to guard their privacy as much as possible, while at the same time, getting this important story out there. Without more input from all the people involved, however, you don't feel you can quite wrap your mind around the whole thing, if it is even possible to do so.Janet, the epicenter child, was removed from the house for extended periods of time, once to a convent run home to be cared for by nuns, and then to a psychiatric ward somewhere. The author does talk about her trances, but not that she would run full speed right into walls, as reported on video by Mr. Gross, the other lead investigator. There is no discussion as to what the psych doctors actually thought, if anything, about the situation (they said Janet was normal) or how Janet herself views the events now as an adult. I would love for a very long and comprehensive documentary to be made about the entire case, incorporating all the many interviews and so forth that were taken, with much more input from the family.I've never heard a single thing from, or about, the youngest son. My feeling is that he just wants to forget. There is a lot of disbelief and ridicule that people who report these things are confronted with, I know; so we just shut down and don't even bother. I feel we owe it to each other, if not to history, however, to open up about our experiences.There is a mind boggling event in the book (sorry for giving it away) where Mrs. Hodgson's niece comes to the front door and sees Mr. Gross, the other investigator, peering out from behind a living room window curtain at her. Rather than let her in, he turns and walks away, climbs halfway up the stairs, pauses to glance back at her, than continues on.In answer to her inquiry as to why Mr. Gross didn't open the door to let her in, she is told that Mr. Gross was not downstairs at all and that he had been upstairs with Mrs. Hodgson the whole time! Fascinating! We have here an apparition of a LIVING person apparently; but the author, a thorough paranormal investigator, strangely doesn't really expand on this at all. Is this a common occurrence in poltergeist cases? Nor do we get the niece's thoughts on this.We don't even really know the author's true opinion of the, "voices," but it is clear to me that the other investigator, Mr. Gross, clearly thought that he was communicating with the dead. Mr. Playfair discovers Tourette's, a syndrome apparently not well known back then, and they consider this as a possible explanation. I don't think anyone today, however, when listening to the voice of, "Bill," would simply chalk that up to Tourette's; nor do I think that any reasonable person, when hearing that little girl's sweet voice, would think that it was capable of faking Bill's.My opinion is that Janet was collaborating with, "the spirit," or whatever it was, as it were using her. Rather than a straight possession, there was a definite interaction between the two. The author states that there was a seamless transition between their two voices. In that regard, old Bill asking, "why do girls get their periods?" really doesn't strike me as too bizarre.All I know, and which this book confirms, is that this world of ours is a much, much, stranger one than most people realize. I feel lucky to have the knowledge, even without the answers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic *by C*** on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2022* This book is a real in depth look into what all went on during “the Enfield poltergeist”. Very interesting read. Highly recommend for those into the paranormal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb reportage of a recent, real-life haunting! *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2019* A captivating tale of a frightening poltergeist manifestation that occurred in a northern London suburb. This is not a piece of fiction; it is the terrifying story of the sudden appearance of an entity that wreaked havoc on the lives of an ordinary family. The author was an experienced paranormal investigator who vouches for the authenticity of the bizarre events he witnessed on a daily basis for more than a year. He is convinced that poltergeists do exist but is not dogmatic about what they really are. This book is great: I give it 5 stars only because I can't give it 10! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/15010550-this-house-is-haunted-the-true-story-of-the-enfield](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/15010550-this-house-is-haunted-the-true-story-of-the-enfield) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
