About this listen

In 1930, a quiet cottage in Petersfield, Hampshire became the centre of one of Britain’s strangest ghost stories.

Teenager Violet Lockyer was at the heart of it — surrounded by unexplained knocks, flying objects, and a spirit that answered her questions by tapping on the walls. The local police chief, vicar, and crowds of locals all witnessed the chaos… and no one could explain it.

Now, almost 100 years later, Violet’s granddaughter Karen Goffe reveals the full story — and how the haunting followed Violet for decades after. Based on original newspaper reports and family testimony, this is the chilling true tale of the Petersfield Poltergeist — a haunting that refused to be forgotten.
