The Enfield Haunting is a British drama horror series which was commissioned by Sky Living and first aired on 3 May 2015. Kristoffer Nyholm, who rose to fame after the hugely popular Danish series, The Killing, directed the three-parter.[1]

The series is based on Guy Lyon Playfair’s book, This House Is Haunted and is about a series of bizarre events around the phenomena collectively known as the "Enfield Poltergeist" that took place at a council house from August 1977 to 1979.[2]

The drama draws upon recordings and witness statements to draw the audience in to the unfolding supernatural events.[3] The series finished on 17 May 2015 after the third and last episode aired.
