The Seaford Poltergeist

Record summary

The Seaford case involved reported stone throwing, raps, and other disturbances at the Hitchings family home. Nandor Fodor and other investigators examined the events, which received newspaper attention and generated debate over adolescent agency, family dynamics, and possible fraud. It is useful for comparison with later domestic poltergeist investigations because the alleged phenomena were public, repetitive, and entangled with press access. The chronology and evidential quality should be reconstructed from Fodor’s account, local reporting, and skeptical commentary rather than from modern summaries.
