Listen, we know it took a couple of weeks, but sometimes these little things called "adulting" and "responsibilities" and "coachella" get in the way of production. Nonetheless, this story is just too good to skip. We're talking about the Lindley Street Haunting. Some people refer to it as the Bridgeport Poltergeist, but it's the same event that took place at 966 Lindley St., in Bridgeport, CT. A listener requested we do tackle this topic and we understand why; There were over 70 credible witnesses to the events. This case not only has flying furniture, floating refrigerators, but most importantly, a talking cat (allegedly). Moreover, it was well documented in police reports. Take a listen to part one.
We'd like to thank author William J. Hall, whose book The World's Most Haunted House: The True Story of The Bridgeport Poltergeist on Lindley Street, contained invaluable insight and research on this topic. His book also contains copies of the actual police reports, interviews of the city officials, officers, and firefighters involved, and other rare documents. You can find this book on Amazon and pretty much any bookstore. It is definitely worth the read.
You ready? Now let's do this!
