  • Annunciation

    The incorrect annunciation of normal words is killing me. I can’t get through a podcast. She sometimes mumbles and just completely leaves out words in sentences.

  • Enunciate

    Redundant dribble spoken by person who runs her words together in what can only be described as word soup. ENUNCIATE your words.

Q: Josh, why do you think the Enfield Poltergeist sticks with us?
Nannochio says the case remains compelling because confirmed tricks and possible misinterpretations do not explain all of the reported events and witnesses.
