Origin
Originally the Enfield Poltergeist was considered a hoax as even though there were signs of paranormal activities it was discovered to be the daughters in the house playing pranks. However once the girls were discovered and punished for it and everyone left the real hauntings began. Once again people looked at the sisters however they neglected to consider the youngest son, Billy (age 7). The way that the sisters knew how to cause the prank was because at church the sisters along with their brother heard one of the priests discussing the phenomenon. Billy was playing with his bear in the back room when he witnessed the sexual molestation of a child by an older member of the congregation. Even though Billy was too young to understand what was going on the fear and disgust was absorbed into his toy bear.
Effects
Shadows of the traumatizing event formed into nightmares, these nightmares became real whenever Billy squeezed the bear tight in his sleep. The range of the audio and visual hallucinations cover a three story house along with basement.
