The 'Poltergeist' Curse

from Horrific Heartland Hosted by Horrific Heartland

We all know about the movie Poltergeist, released on June 4th, 1982. Your typical California family, The Freelings, are living their life until paranormal things start to happen throughout their home. Specifically, ghosts talking to them through the static on TV set. Sure enough, they take the youngest daughter, Carol Ann, who has to "find the light" to escape with the help of her family and an exorcist. Not many people know about the mysterious hauntings that happened on-set and what happened to the original actors. Was the set cursed or was it just a coincidence?
