Summary

In 1974, Lindley Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut, became the center of media chaos and was one of Connecticut’s most documented and controversial hauntings. From eyewitness accounts of furniture moving on its own to the media frenzy that drew famed investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, this conversation explores the critical question: Was it all an elaborate hoax or genuine evidence of paranormal activity? Discover what really happened on Lindley Street—and whether there might still be more to this story than meets the eye.

Today on the Grave Talks, The World’s Most Haunted House: The True Story of the Bridgeport Poltergeist on Lindley Street, with author William J Hall. This is Part Two of our conversation.
