A teenage girl, living with her family, in Battersea, in the 1950s, was subjected to a harrowing haunting, by a Poltergeist.
It was extensively covered in the media at the time, but the story is less well known now.
Objects moved. The Poltergeist caused knocking and other loud noises that could be heard by neighbours. The girl levitated. The house was set alight, hospitalising her father. The Poltergeist communicated with them, via a ouija board and written notes.
Journalists reported on the story and were convinced there was paranormal, inexplicable activity taking place.
The Poltergeist activity continued when she went to work, resulting in her being sacked. And it continued at the house, even when she wasn't there.

Danny promises there will be an episode 9 where your questions can be put to Shirley (She is still alive in case you're wondering).
Let's not forget that Sherlock Holmes once said 'When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth'. Well Sherlock Holmes was real enough ... wasn't he?

No, no she wasn’t.
There is no such thing as ghosts / poltergeists
Wow, what a sweeping statement to make, does anyone really know the answer to that one

PWR.
The teenage girl was doing it herself.
Glad to help.
Brilliant. Thanks for clearing that up. Thank goodness someone's been able to.
Just a few minor bits to clear up though. How did she move furniture during the night when a journalist was in bed with her, holding her hands and feet? How did she scrawl words across the width and breadth of the ceiling? How did she levitate? How did she predict the harm that was about to happen to the actor? And how did the noises and movement of items continue when she wasn't there?
Is there a case to be made that people invent ghosts and gods because the finality of death is too frightening to contemplate? Isn’t it odd that culturally ghosts are often portrayed as scary when they are actually comforting in as much as they kind of beat death?
