Dancing Wig Poltergeist
Kensington Market, W8
Kensington Market was once the scene of a bizarre and unexplained incident that has become a footnote in London's paranormal history. On 26 August 1968, Patsy Dorett, a stallholder at the market, reported that six wigs on a shelf suddenly flew into the air and danced around. This strange event was not an isolated occurrence, as it followed two months of reported disturbances caused by a poltergeist in the area. The wigs' aerial dance was captured in a newspaper report, providing a tangible record of the incident.
