History Uncovered

The Enfield Haunting began with a bang. Literally. In the summer of 1977, Peggy Hodgson heard loud noises coming from her daughters' room, upstairs at their house at 284 Green Street, in Enfield, North London. Hodgson went upstairs to investigate and to tell the girls, Margaret, 12, and Janet, 11, to quiet down and go to bed — only to find them cowering in fear.

This is the true story of the Enfield haunting, the poltergeist that plagued the Hodgson family between 1977 and 1979.

After the 9/11 attacks, Pat Tillman gave up a lucrative football career to join the U.S. Army. But in 2004, he was tragically killed by the Taliban — or so his family and the American public were led to believe.

Several weeks later, the real story finally came out: Tillman had been killed by friendly fire, not the Taliban. As if that weren’t bad enough, the circumstances surrounding his death were highly suspicious.

Please be advised that this episode contains discussion of sexual abuse of children

David Reimer’s parents just wanted to do the right thing for him.

What was supposed to be a routine circumcision in 1965 turned into a life-altering nightmare for the Reimer family when the doctor performing his surgery accidentally singed the infant’s penis.

The damage was irreparable. Concerned that their son’s injury might cause him mental anguish as an adult, Reimer’s parents consulted with famed sexologist Dr. John Money after seeing him on television.

Money consequently suggested that Reimer undergo sex reassignment surgery and instead be raised female. Desperate, Reimer’s parents took his advice and changed their son’s name from “Bruce” to “Brenda.”

David Reimer had never felt comfortable as Brenda, and even after he learned the truth and embraced who he truly was, the damage was done, and the story unfortunately ended in tragedy.
