Lindley Street poltergeist

Record summary

A Bridgeport family reported moving objects, disturbances and an alleged apparition in 1974. The case became notable because local officials, journalists and investigators reportedly visited the Lindley Street house, while later accounts debated whether fraud, family dynamics or paranormal activity best explained the events. It is a useful comparison case for assessing public investigations and the evidential weight of photographs, testimony and police involvement. The precise chronology and surviving documentation need careful reconstruction from newspaper archives, investigator writings and later skeptical analyses.
