I showed this to my sister years ago (she was in high school at the time) and it...well, it affected her badly, to say the least. I had a good chuckle at her reaction when I asked her if she thought it was real, but yeah, it's pretty solidly put together as a tv horror flick, better than the usual horror movies they used to put on tv. Some legitimate jump scares, and a few freeze-frame creeps of the ghost stalking the background. Best watched with headphones, it gets a bit noisy towards the end.
Heroc, not only that, a guy in England lost his life after watching this because he thought this was real. Up until that point, BBC had not made it public knowledge that this was just a mockumentary. it was banned after that.
Mockumentary of Enfield poltergeist?

@Hank_Chinaski, that's not quite true; before the transmission, it was explained that the programme was a drama. However, many people missed the beginning and thought it was real.
