Feb. 23, 1956 - Police Go To A Seance: After receiving a 999 call saying that a black magic circle had been formed, police went to a sence held last night to exercise the poltergeist of 15-year old Shirley Hitchings, who says a ghost called Donald had been dogging her for three weeks. The police left after talking to several people attending the seance. The seance was organised by 53-year old spiritualist Harry Hanks, at his home in Groveway, Stockwell, S.W. Mrs. Hanks went into a trance, and whilst his wife was talking to the police outside, her husband's spirit voice said It is Freed'. Mr. Hanks awoke, and the meeting broke up. Shirley said I feel much happier. I think the poltergeist has gone for good'. Photo shows Mrs. Georgina Hanks answers the door to police during last night's seance at her home
