Summary

Shortly after the Pritchard family moved into their new home on 30 East Drive in Pontefract, England, they were tormented by poltergeist activity. The hauntings centered around 12 year old Diane, but these strange occurrences were witnessed by the entire family, including neighbors, friends and relatives. The hauntings quickly escalated from moving objects, to potentially life threatening attacks that left the entire town in shock. Years later, researchers believe they may have uncovered the identity of what the church determined was an unholy and evil entity.
