What Is The Truth About The Enfield Poltergeist?
There was a period of apparent poltergeist activity in a house in London, England, between August 1977 and September 1978, with an added outburst in August 1980. During this time furniture is said to have moved by itself, knockings on the walls were heard, and children's toys were said to have been thrown around and to have been too hot to touch when picked up.
The Poltergeist activity centered around an 11-year-old girl, Janet Hodgson. She seemingly acted as the mouthpiece for Bill Wilkins, a foul-mouthed, grumpy old man who had died in the house many years before. Naturally, many questioned whether it was all a hoax - but no explanation other than the paranormal has ever been convincingly put forward.

Lol. No evidence that any of these claims are correct has ever been put forward. Therefore, there is no need to explain them with any force paranormal or other. The one good thing to come of all this is to clearly demonstrate that all people should be scientifically literate, and most of them are not.
It's all just a promo to sell the new film. The photos were taken when they jumped off the bed
@R2K- Wow, you have the entire universe figured out. That must be fantastic. There is no need for new discovery, science is at the highest point of advancement it could possibly be.
It's thinking like yours that put Galileo in prison and said that television and the internet would only be a short lived fad.
Real scientific thinking leaves open the possibility for anything and the thirst for new discovery.
I'm not saying that this isn't a hoax, but I think it's far more scientific to be open and aware that in SOME cases there is very compelling evidence of extra-dimensional intelligence and/or something outside of 3D that is having very real effects ON 3D.
If there is no evidence either way then it has to remain unexplained. You can't assume the cause was paranormal simply because there is no evidence that it was not.
It's interesting that those who believe in the paranormal always want the sceptics to provide evidence to disprove the paranormal, but can't provide any evidence to support their own beliefs.
