The Dancing Toaster Podcast- Ep 35- The Enfield Poltergeist: Haunting Reality or Conjuring Hype?

In episode 35 of the Dancing Toaster we dive into the case of: The Enfield Poltergeist. It remains one of the most infamous paranormal cases in modern history. In the late 1970s, the Hodgson family of North London found themselves at the center of a storm of strange disturbances—knocks that followed from room to room, furniture sliding on its own, toys flying like shrapnel, and the chilling voice of “Bill Wilkins” speaking through eleven-year-old Janet. Investigators, neighbors, journalists, and even police officers witnessed events they could not explain, while skeptics pointed to trickery and stress within the family. Was it a haunting, a hoax, or something darker masquerading as the dead? The case became so iconic that decades later it was dramatized in The Conjuring 2, cementing its place in pop culture and introducing the haunting of Green Street to a new generation. But behind the Hollywood spectacle lies a much more complicated, and perhaps more sinister, reality. In this episode of The Dancing Toaster, we dive deep into the chaos of Enfield, peeling back the layers of deception, grief, and spiritual danger that made it a story still debated to this day.
