True Tales of Terror

Poltergeists, also known as mischievous spirits or ghosts of the dead are said to be responsible for a good deal of unexplainable phenomena. However, often the only clues they leave to their existence are floating objects, broken or missing household items, strange noises, and other minor disturbances, always rendering the investigations of such claims inconclusive. Leaving room for both believers and skeptics, the author of this volume examines a smattering of reported poltergeist activity from around the world to better understand the nature of poltergeists and the likelihood of these seemingly paranormal occurrences.

With thorough research that includes recorded testimony from the 1970s and recent interviews, the story of what some call "the world's most haunted house" is told. The saga begins with a family history of the hardworking and caring Goodins, then recounts the start of the poltergeist happenings in 1971, with increasing frequency through 1975, and the family's struggle to normalize their lives. The author includes family photographs, photographs of pieces of evidence, transcripts of interviews, and opinions from paranormal experts to give credence to this paranormal story.
