Britain's poltergeist decade
The 1970s were loud in Britain's council houses. Knocking at Andover, floors banging in a Glasgow flat, a Luton vicar's exorcism, a man in Ossett who killed his wife the night after one, and at Enfield in 1977 a house where the furniture moved and an eleven-year-old spoke in an old man's voice while the Society for Psychical Research took notes.
