Danny explores possible links between the Battersea case and the
Enfield Poltergeist, a famous alleged haunting from 1977.

He meets two reporters who covered the case, one of whom claims
to have been attacked by the poltergeist. We hear more from the
real-life Shirley Hitchings as, back in 1956, teenage Shirley
appears to communicate with Donald the Poltergeist, and her story
becomes front page tabloid news, gripping the nation.

Written and presented by Danny Robins, starring Dafne Keen (His
Dark Materials), Toby Jones (Detectorists), Burn Gorman
(Torchwood) and Alice Lowe (Sightseers).

With original theme music by Mercury-nominated Nadine Shah and
Ben Hillier, this gripping 8-part series interweaves a chilling
supernatural thriller set in 50s London with a fascinating
modern-day investigation into Britain’s strangest ever haunting –
a mystery unsolved... until now.
