🕰 A lesser-known but chilling UK haunting…In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, we revisit the Battersea Poltergeist – a strange and unsettling haunting from 1950s London that lasted an incredible 12 years.The Hitchings family reported relentless paranormal activity, much of it focused on their teenage daughter Shirley. From loud knocks and moving objects to chilling messages, the activity was witnessed and documented by independent third parties, making it one of the most intriguing British ghost cases.📼 We discuss:


  • The timeline of the Battersea Poltergeist events
  • Theories about who or what the spirit was
  • Why this case remains overshadowed by the more famous Enfield haunting
  • Greg’s insights into a recent paranormal case he’s been involved with
  • Our candid closing rant (it went on a bit longer than planned!)
