A chair moved four feet across the floor without any assistance… apparently. After the news broke out about a haunting in the house, reporters became interested with this strange activity. After all the news broke out, reporters from the daily mirror and the BBC wanted to get footage of the house and the Hodgson to see if it was all a hoax! The daily mirror captured a disturbing image of Janet Hodgson being lifted into the air by poltergeist, or as others believe to think that she jumped at the right time and screamed so she could make there story more believable. The BBC tried to get a audio recording of the whole situation, however a couple of there audio recordings failed to and were ruined. Was this something to do with the supernatural!

After all this the paranormal activity within the house got worst and more dangerous than they wished for!

Both investigators wanted to communicate with the poltergeist, first time trying the asked endless amounts of questions and had the spirit knocking once for yes and twice for no. Second time was the worst and unexpected event! The Spirit used Janet’s mouth to talk! meaning that the voice coming out of Janet wasn’t Janet! “Two years ago I died i went blind. Then I had a haemorrhage, then I fell asleep. I died in the chair in the corner”. 

Where are the Family now?
After the encounters and getting lifted into the air by a poltergeist, you would expect the family to leave the house and never go back right? NO! The encounters started to slow down as they got a visist from a prist to get rid of the spirit! Once Janet turned 16 she left that house and started living by herself, however she would go back to the house to talk to her mum but she has stated that she feels like someone is watching her, the other kids went on to live a normal life after the encounter and Peggy died in 2003.

Who lives in the house now?
