The Poltergeist Prince of Battersea by Shirley Hitchings and James Clark

The amazing true story of Donald, the Wycliffe Road poltergeist

Coming soon ...


One of the most remarkable poltergeist cases ever recorded began in Battersea in south London in 1956 with the mysterious appearance of a key that nobody recognised. The setting was an ordinary terraced house at No. 63 Wycliffe Road, home of the Hitchings family, and the bizarre events that took place there centred on the family's teenaged daughter, Shirley.

A summary of this case can be found in my 2006 book, Haunted Wandsworth but I am now working with Shirley herself to write a new book that will for the first time tell the full story of 'Donald' aka 'Louis' - the poltergeist that seemingly learned to write and claimed to be the spirit of Louis XVII of France!

UPDATE (25 November 2011): We have finished the book and are currently looking for a suitable agent/publisher. Check back here later for more news!
