#97: Inventor-Walter Jackson Freeman II, Haunted-Enfield Poltergeist, and Holy Water drink

Episode • Jun 19, 2024 • 37m

This week Deklan tells us about Walter Jackson Freeman II, a physician who was inspired by another doctor who performed a breakthrough procedure known as a leucotomy. A surgical procedure that removed part of the frontal lobe. Freeman decided he would modify the procedure so that it was no longer surgical and he created the extremely brutal prefrontal lobotomy which was used for decades to “treat” numerous types of neurological and psychological disorders.

Jane tells us a family in 1977 in Enfield England, a London suburb, who called the police when they heard strange noises in their house. The Hodgson family reported many supernatural experiences which were investigated by paranormal researchers, demonologists, and journalists. The Enfield poltergeist inspired the movie The Conjuring 2.

We also drink the Holy Water cocktail.
