Eland Road, SW11

Eland Road in Lavender Hill, London, was once home to a rather unusual and intriguing poltergeist case. The Robinson household was besieged by a mischievous entity that hurled lumps of coal at anyone who dared to enter. The trouble began in November 1927 and continued unabated until December of the same year. The family was understandably shaken, and their situation took a turn for the bizarre when the father was taken away by the police, who suspected him of being behind the disturbances. However, the poltergeist's antics continued even after his removal.

63 Wycliffe Road, SW11

In a now demolished house at 63 Wycliffe Road, Battersea, a most intriguing poltergeist haunting took place from 1956 to 1968. The entity, affectionately nicknamed Donald by the Hitchings family, focused its attention on daughter Shirley, unleashing a torrent of paranormal activity that included loud bangs and scratches at night. These unsettling sounds weren't confined to the family; neighbours also reported hearing them, making it clear that Donald's presence was not just a figment of the family's imagination. Over the course of the haunting, Donald communicated with the family in a remarkable way, writing over three thousand messages. These messages included one where Donald claimed to be Louis XVII of France, a claim that has sparked much speculation about the entity's true identity.

Clapham Common, SW11

Clapham Common was the scene of a bizarre and terrifying encounter back in October 1837. Mary Stevens was making her way through the area, heading towards Lavender Hill, when she was suddenly attacked by a figure with corpse-like clawed hands. The assailant ripped at her clothing, causing Mary to scream, which in turn sent the figure fleeing. The commotion attracted the attention of others in the area, but despite a search, no one was found. What's interesting is that this wasn't an isolated incident - the following day, in the same neighbourhood, the same figure - who would later become notorious as Spring Heeled Jack - jumped out in front of a coach, causing it to crash. The figure's escape over a tall wall only added to the mystique of this elusive and menacing character.
