'The Mysterious World of Arthur C. Clarke' has got a lot to answer for! That and one of those Marshall Cavendish bit part magazine publications that came out in the late '70's/early '80's called 'The Unexplained'. It was these that sparked an early interest in the paranormal. And let's face it who does not enjoy the thrill of an occasional ghost story.
Last week I was perusing through some radio podcasts and I stumbled on one of BBC Radio 4's 'Reunion' broadcasts. This brought together some of the characters that were involved in the so called 'Enfield Poltergeist' case of 1977/78.
This is another publication that I read back in the day and consequently spooked myself for weeks afterwards..... no pun intended... OK it was. Guy Lyon Playfair's book documented the goings on at this unassuming property in a North London suburb and the efforts of the Maurice Grosse who investigated the phenomenon on behalf of the Society for Psychical Research.
In recent years the case has taken the form of a UK TV drama as well as a feature film, The Conjuring 2..... the latter of which I will not be watching!
