Description

In the late 1960s, a quiet family home at 30 East Drive in Pontefract, England, became the site of one of the most violent hauntings ever recorded. Objects flew, walls bled, and an unseen force attacked a teenage girl. Witnesses claimed to see a hooded figure in black — a ghostly monk said to have been executed centuries earlier on that very ground. Decades later, the house still seethes with activity, and no one has ever found a rational explanation.
