283# The Thornton Road Poltergeist | Britain’s Forgotten Haunting

On this week’s Never a Straight Answer Podcast, we’re pulling back the veil on one of Britain’s strangest and most overlooked hauntings — the Thornton Road Poltergeist of 1981. This was a case that briefly gripped the headlines in West Yorkshire, but then faded into obscurity, overshadowed by bigger cases like Enfield. We’ll walk through the terrifying daily events inside that quiet terraced home: unexplained bangs, flying objects, ghostly voices, and the toll it took on the family who lived there. Along the way, we’ll dig into police reports, newspaper accounts, and theories — from fraud to genuine haunting. Then we’ll round out the episode with the week’s weirdest news, from space oddities to bizarre global headlines.
