Summary

In 1989, in the bustling seaport of San Pedro, California, Jackie Hernandez began to experience strange phenomena in her newly rented bungalow. Lights would turn on and off. Objects would move. A heavy breathing could be heard rattling in the attic above her laundry room. After a neighbor experienced the activity herself, she encouraged Jackie to reach out to a team of Ghost Hunters she had recently seen on TV. What would follow was a year-plus long investigation that included everything from full-figured apparitions, to dripping ectoplasm. Jake and Brad provide a comprehensive look at either the best evidence of a poltergeist ever captured on video, or perhaps the first ‘found footage’ horror movie ever made.

And every now and again someone will ask, have you ever considered actually going on

a ghost hunt just for fun?

And the answer is always a resounding no.

As someone who suffers from a manageable amount of neuroticism, the last thing I need is

0:47.6

to be unfortunate enough to find out that poltergeists are real and that they've followed

me back to my apartment.
