Terrifying & True | The Herrmann Family Poltergeist — Seaford’s 1958 Haunting Mystery

from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert

Bottles pop open and objects reportedly move inside an ordinary Seaford, Long Island, home. The Herrmann family's 1958 disturbances draw police, reporters, and parapsychologists into a case nicknamed 'Popper.' Terrifying & True follows Detective Joseph Tozzi's investigation and the competing explanations for the events. Was a child responsible, were witnesses mistaken, or did the reports suggest something harder to explain? Hear how a suburban household became a national paranormal story, and why the presence of investigators did not settle the argument over its cause.
