Have you ever experienced something paranormal only for no one to believe you? Well, you're not alone. It's been referred to as the

most haunted house in the world. The small one-story bungalow-style home on Lindley Street in

Bridgeport, Connecticut was the scene of one of the most documented poltergeist hauntings in American

history. What was different about this case was it wasn't

activity firsthand. They witnessed furniture flying across rooms, hearing strange

knocking sounds, and seeing terrifying apparitions inside the home, lurking in the shadows. Word spread
