A nine-year-old boy wakes in the middle of the night to find a glowing, disembodied head drifting toward his bed—an entity that would haunt his family for generations to come. What was this strange light, and why did it follow them long after they left the family home?Next, we head to the 1970s and a newspaper office built inside a former casket factory.
