Video Version HERE

In the late 1980s, an American family moved into what they hoped would be a peaceful home. Instead, their house became the centre of one of the most disturbing and complex hauntings you’ve likely never heard of.

This case reached national news, drew in priests and psychics, and even attracted a television crew. And yet, despite everything, the story slowly vanished from public memory.

Much of what we know today comes from Doretta Johnson’s remarkable book, The People in the Attic, which documents her family’s experiences in vivid and painful detail. If you can find a copy, it’s an extraordinary and harrowing read, and it includes far more information than I have shared here. This video exists in part to make sure her scary, yet inspiring story - and the suffering her family endured - is not forgotten.
