New York – A&E Network presents the supernatural thriller The Enfield Haunting, a dramatization of the terrifying real-life events that took place in a seemingly ordinary home in northern London during the fall of 1977.  Written by Joshua St. Johnston (Walking on Sunshine, Sweeney Todd) and directed by Kristoffer Nyholm (The Killing), the miniseries will premiere 9 October on A&E.

Adapted from Guy Lyon Playfair’s book “This House is Haunted”, The Enfield Haunting draws on extensive documentation, recordings and witness statements recorded at the time. To this day, the incident remains the most documented account of poltergeist activity in British history and the basis of horror films including the upcoming The Conjuring 2. 

A&E licensed the US broadcast rights to The Enfield Haunting from Entertainment One (eOne). The miniseries was produced by Eleven Films and executive produced by Adrian Sturges (The Disappearance of Alice Creed), Jamie Campbell and Joel Wilson for Eleven. Sky’s Cameron Roach also served as executive producer.
