An Enigma

This book follows the case of the Enfield Poltergeist,a fascinating haunting which asks many questions but which unfortunately provides few answers, In 1977,a working class family in England became the focus of an apparent haunting. It began with banging noises and the movement of objects and developed into one of the most controversial cases in psychical research. Guy Playfair and the late Maurice Grosse spent years with the family documenting events and watching as a parade of skeptics,mediums and fellow psychic investigators passed through the small apartment. This book doesn't "prove" the existence of ghosts or even demonstrate that this case was based on real paranormal events- Grosse and Playfair both were unsure of the nature of the events they were witnessing. This book is sometimes tedious,but is an important document and should be read by anyone seriously interested in hauntings and poltergeists. Was it the result of trickery or mental illness? Ultimately Playfair and Grosse committed to the paranormal nature of most of what they documented.
