Enfield has topped the list of the top ten most searched for haunted places in the UK on an internet search engine.

The borough appears in first and seventh place in a list of haunted locations searched for by users of the Microsoft search engine Bing.

The most popular search was for the Green Street poltergeist, in which two of four children in a house in Brimsdown village in 1977 claimed furniture was moving by itself and that they heard knocking sounds from the walls.

One of the children was Janet Hodgson, an 11-year-old schoolgirl who appeared to be possessed by a man who had died several years before, and even spoke with his voice.

A female police constable said she saw a chair slide across the floor but could not say if it moved by itself.

Other claims included levitation, furniture being moved through the air and flying objects. Reports came to an end in 1979.

The seventh most popular search was for reports of a phantom coach in Bell Lane.

In December 1961, Boys Brigade member Robert Bird was cycling to his meeting when he saw the lights if a speeding black coach that he was certain would hit him.

He braced himself for the collision but said the coach passed through him and disappeared.

According to some accounts, the coach may be the spectre of one that drove along a road through marshland in the 1700s, while others claim it belongs to a judge notorious for putting supporters of the Duke of Monmouth to death in the 1600s after his failed uprising against James II.
