But police were inside the house when objects reportedly moved….In 1974, police were called to a small home on Lindley Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut.Inside, they reported objects moving on their own.

More people followed. Even those who arrived expecting to find an explanation began reporting things they couldn’t account for.But as more people became involved, the story became harder to pin down.Some described movement happening directly in front of them.Others described moments where something had already changed before they realized it.And over time, the question shifted.Not just what was happening inside that house…but whether everyone was seeing the same thing when it did.Join host Robert Barber as he examines the Lindley Street Poltergeist—what was reported, who was there, and what holds up under closer examination.Episode mentioned:  The Haunting of Madison Seminary: The Investigation That Spoke Back - Ep. 27on Apple Podcastson SpotifySupport State of the UnknownIf you enjoy the show and would like to help support it, you can become a Sasquatch Supporter for $3 a month.
