The World's Most Haunted House

In 1974, a house on Lindley Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut, became the centre of one of the most talked-about poltergeist cases of its time. Reports spread of furniture moving on its own, appliances apparently floating and unseen forces attacking people, and a large crowd gathered to watch. Decades later, the author draws on dozens of hours of interviews, many never heard before, with police officers, firefighters and others who were there. Using excerpts from those conversations, along with police reports and rare documents, the book sets out how the events unfolded and what the witnesses experienced. It also includes recordings and an old radio broadcast, inviting readers to picture the house as it was during those months and to consider why the case still matters to people who study the paranormal.
