In February 1983, 21‑year‑old Don Decker attended his grandfather’s funeral in Stroudsburg, PA. Within hours, he found himself at the centre of terrifying poltergeist activity: torrential indoor rain, objects hurling, lights flickering, unexplained cold spots, and mysterious bruises. The supernatural phenomena followed him home and even into the county jail, where drops of water would materialize on the ceiling and floor.

In the summer of 1995, a quiet bungalow in Rochdale, England, became the center of one of Britain’s most baffling modern hauntings. Water dripped from dry ceilings, objects flew across rooms, phantom footsteps echoed in empty halls—and a family was driven from their home. Witnessed by council officials, clergy, and experienced investigators, the phenomena defied logic. Was it a poltergeist, the lingering grief of a troubled household, or something else entirely? This chilling case blends verified evidence with psychological mystery in one of the UK’s most compelling true haunting stories.

On April 18, 1991, Seattle police entered a small apartment in the Richmond Beach area of King County and found a scene straight out of a horror novel. Thirty-five-year-old Christopher Case was discovered dead, kneeling fully clothed in his dry bathtub with his head resting against the wall.
