About Anita Gregory

Lived 1925 – 1984 (aged 59). Anita Gregory was a psychologist, university teacher, parapsychologist and parapsychology, known for Enfield Poltergeist.

Anita Gregory (née Kohsen; 9 June 1925 – 7 November 1984) was a German-born British psychologist and parapsychologist. Gregory was a lecturer at the Polytechnic of North London. She was a member of the Society for Psychical Research and conducted experiments with the British psychic Matthew Manning. John Beloff, a former president of the SPR, investigated and suggested Janet was practising ventriloquism. Both Beloff and Gregory came to the conclusion that Janet and Margaret were playing tricks on the investigators. According to Gregory, a video camera in the room next door caught Janet bending spoons and attempting to bend an iron bar.

The Society for Psychical Research did not publish her critical report on the Enfield case. Gregory described the evidence from the case as "greatly exaggerated" and "pathetic".
