Anybody remember the Enfield Poltergeist? It was publicised in the major press pictures and all, and lasted longer than any other poltergeist activity recorded. |

Ok Andrew, That put the wind up me! I was living on council estate in Enfield and I was about the same age as that young girl. I don't actually remember anything on our estate, it was a large estate with a lot of kids but word went round fast if anything happened. I will ask mum later, this has got me curious now. Sue |

Sue, the real name of the family was kept a closely guarded secret from the public but hey, Enfield isnt that big a place. |

sue, I believe that Harper was the ficticious name invented for the book 'This House is Haunted', which is the book i'm struggling to find. Andy |

That would be Green Street, Enfield |

Green St? Is that the location involved? |

|
Susanne | Report | 11 Apr 2004 16:42 |
|
Green Street was just down the road from me. I lived just off of Caterhatch Lane. See what you mean about the price difference. |

Linda | Report | 11 Apr 2004 16:46 |

Yes, it was definitely Green Street, which is off the Hertford Road and runs parallel with Carterhatch. |

were you also in the area at the time or know somebody that was? |

Green Street rings a bell and I dont know why. I knew it was near us but I cant remember why it means something else as well, if that makes sense! Going to have to get hold of mum. |

Sorry, but I only went to live in Enfield eight years ago and have since moved. But was told about it. |
