World's Most Haunted House: The True Story of the Bridgeport Poltergeist on Lindley Street

Product Information

He would further contemplate whether he himself might have moved the chair “unconsciously”, recalling the “paranormal weight loss party game” where people manage to lift a person with only their fingers. It is certainly an interesting notion.

When we further take into account the wealth of witness statements collected by William Hall, as well as the recent views from Paul Eno, it appears overwhelmingly the case that the goings-on at the house on Lindley Street was, for the most part, genuine examples of real paranormal activity. The real question should perhaps be what that paranormal activity represents, and what an eventual understanding of them might mean for our collective reality. The bizarre events continued, with furniture regularly moving of its own accord, doors opening and closing by themselves, and, of course, the strange and persistent noises. However, it was during the month of November in the run-up to Thanksgiving 1974 when the intensity of the strange goings-on increased considerably. An Unnerving Increase In Intensity Although the officers were still somewhat skeptical of what was taking place, they were beginning to wonder if they had become involved in something paranormal. “Evil Spirits Are Trying To Kill Us!” Three Good-Sized Bedrooms: The property offers three generously sized bedrooms, accommodating the needs of a growing family or providing space for guests.That the Bridgeport Poltergeist incident was nothing but a hoax is clearly wide of the mark. And while at least some of the activity was undoubtedly fabricated or even manufactured by Marcia, the vast majority – witnessed by multiple people on multiple occasions – could simply not have been orchestrated. Although Mr. Warren died in 2006, Lorraine served as a consultant to The Conjuring. She maintained before her death in 2019 that she didn’t allow the filmmakers to take too much creative license. She asserted everything you see on screen is actually how it happened. Bedroom Three: 10' 6" x 8' 9" A good sized bedroom that if needed will take a double bedroom but will make an mazing office or a very good single bedroom, radiator, double glazed window to front.

Might this build-up of energy – perhaps a combination of Marcia and Laura Goodin being in the same close quarters of their home – have allowed entities from another realm or dimension to enter into ours? If so, what does this tell us of the power of such energy – both negative and positive – and if we could learn to control it? Outside: At the front you will find steps leading to the front door and a patio area to side giving you views over the front green. Our Damned Experience: We were too young to witness the event in person, but remember the news reports from the time. And of course, there’s our exclusive interview with Bill Hall, author of The World’s Most Haunted House: The True Story of the Bridgeport Poltergeist on Lindley Street, which is a terrific chronicle of the entire event as it includes original police reports, photographs and witness interviews taken at the time. Eno reminds us that he was sitting at the kitchen table when Lorraine “suddenly yelped”. What’s more, he watched as “a second-degree burn blister developed on her right hand”. He would add that he was barely two feet away at the time, and “there was no heat source”. Eno also states that the whole incident was captured on audiotape (which is in the possession of William Hall) and he (Eno) can clearly be heard saying “there’s a blister forming!” The stories of chairs and furniture moving, crucifixes flying off walls, and knives being thrown about were all reported by the likes of firefighters and law enforcement. As such, it seems that the house in Bridgeport, Connecticut is a little more intricate of a story than just some average kook telling tall tales.

A small part of the largest mill in the area, Acre Mills, has in recent years been converted to provide a new outpatients department for the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, just across the road. The hospital moved from its earlier building just outside Huddersfield Town Centre in the late 1960s and was officially opened in 1967 by the then Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who was born little more than a mile away in Cowlersley, Huddersfield. Marcia was in her room sitting on her bed facing the wall. Lieutenant Coco was talking to Officer Barney Magliamele in the small hallway when they heard a rattling noise. They shuffled off to the master bedroom to see what was happening. Jerry’s brother Edmund was already at the entrance to the room looking in. They immediately noticed movement on the wall. A large crucifix slowly floated down and rested on the floor against Jerry and Laura’s bed. Marcia joined them to see what was going on. There was no one else in the bedroom. Laura put her hands to her face. Marcia began to cry and said, “Oh Daddy, that was the ashtray we bought you for your birthday.”This is interesting as it has been noticed in many poltergeist cases that a young child is very often both the focus and potentially, in ways of tapping into energies we don’t understand, may be the source of it.

Fitted Wardrobes: The main bedroom features fitted wardrobes, providing ample storage space and contributing to an organized and clutter-free environment. The Goodin’s were subject to a loud rhythmic pounding in their walls, the source could never be located. Items would disappear from where they were left, only to be found in another spot in the house. Doors would slam. Police investigated the incidents but even they were perplexed after finding nothing. The Media Frenzy Refitted Bathroom Suite: The bathroom suite has been recently updated, offering modern fixtures and a refreshing space for your daily routines.

Furthermore, the sulfur-type smell had also returned, as well as a “constant hum” that all present could hear.
