When an invisible entity attacked the Hodgson family in the late 1970s, subjecting them to violent and disturbing attacks, the experience left scars that would last for decades. But a closer inspection of the situation revealed inconsistencies. Despite being one of Britain’s best-known ghost stories, very few of us know all of the facts.

In the sixth episode of our series Astonishing, we will look into the infamous Enfield Haunting; an incident which terrorised an unsuspecting London family, and caught the world’s attention. Did it really happen? Could it be explained as a simple teenage prank? Or, considering the amount of recorded evidence and independent eye witnesses, was there actually something sinister lurking in the shadows and terrorising the poor family?
