The Terrifying True Story of the Battersea Poltergeist

Between 1956 and 1968, a quiet house in Battersea, South London became the center of one of the strangest and most disturbing poltergeist cases in British history. For over a decade, a young girl named Shirley Hitchings was plagued by unexplained knocks, flying objects, and chilling messages from an unseen force.

In this deep-dive documentary, we explore the terrifying true story of the Battersea Poltergeist — through real accounts, media coverage, and theories that still divide believers and skeptics to this day.
