Enfield Poltergeist:
In August 1977, a series of disturbances that were soon characterized as a case
of poltergeist phenomena or even demonic possession began in Enfield, a northern
suburb of London. The events began on August 30 in the Enfield home of Margaret Hodgson. The
divorced Hodgson lived there with her four children—Peggy, thirteen; Janet,
eleven; Johnny, ten; and Billy, seven—whose names, in early accounts, were
fictionalized. Two of the children, Janet and Johnny, attempted to convince
their mother that their beds were unaccountably shaking. The next night brought
mysterious knocking sounds and the sliding of a chest of drawers in the girls’
room.
A female police constable witnessed a chair wobble and slide but could not
determine the cause of the movement. By the next morning, marbles and Lego toy
pieces began to “zoom out of thin air and bounce off the walls.” By 1979, the Enfield “poltergeist” had left the Hodgson home “inexplicably,"except for an occasional isolated incident.
This is similar to our film as our film is filmed in a bedroom and strange things start to happen around the house. This has influeneced our characters as we are having family be in our film and a girl as the main character. This can be seen as stereotypical.
