How to watch The Enfield Poltergeist: stream new Halloween documentary online

With Halloween coming up, it's time to fill your TV-watching schedule with spooky goings-on, and nothing will tick that box more than the new docudrama The Enfield Poltergeist, about one of the world's most famous paranormal activities.

In 1977 the residents of a council house in London (the town of Enfield, hence the name) started reporting furniture moving and creepy sounds around the home; by 1979 many more witnesses including police constables, journalists and paranormal investigators had visited the home to back up these claims. So was it a ghost? A hoax? Or an omen against buying wheeled furniture? Maybe The Enfield Poltergeist will settle the matter.

This new four-part docudrama combines real recordings and information with dramatized retellings to help you experience the goings-on in Enfield. Perfect for some eerie Halloween watching.

So here's how to watch The Enfield Poltergeist when it debuts on Friday, September 27, ready for the witching weekend.
