Curious Cases: The Andover Poltergeist
04/05/2025 Duración: 01h09minJoin us for part 1 of our 3-part Poltergeist miniseries, as we take a slight departure from our normal format to share the story of the Andover Poltergeist. Don’t worry, our regular format will be coming back, but we hope you will also enjoy exploring some fascinating paranormal rabbit holes with us in our new Curious Cases series of mini-episodes. This time we share an intriguing poltergeist case from the 1970’s that occurred a few years before the more famous Enfield case, and was investigated in a truly interesting way by member of the Society for Psychical Research; Dr Barrie Colvin. We will be hearing more about Dr Colvin’s work in part 2, but for now, let us transport you back to the 1970’s and a terraced council house in the south of England, whose resident family are having nightly conversations … with a poltergeist!
