Author William J. Hall will speak Saturday, Oct. 4, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Burroughs-Saden Library.

In this unprecedented work, the story of the 1974 Bridgeport poltergeist is at last revealed. A crowd of more than 2,000 onlookers gathered. National media reported jumping furniture, floating refrigerators, and attacking entities.

Decades after the publicity quieted, more than 40 hours of never-before-released interviews with police officers, firefighters, and others tell the story as it actually unfolded:

Relive the experience, the terror, the rampant emotions, and the unexplainable events that took place in that house.

The author offers access to revealing excerpts from actual interviews, police reports, and rare documents as well as unreleased audio, poltergeist sounds, and an old radio broadcast.

Attendees will return to 1974 and feel the Lindley Street experience from the inside. Find out why it is deemed the haunting that should have brought the paranormal into mainstream science.

For more information on the talk, visit the library website or call 203-576-7400. The Burroughs-Saden branch of the Bridgeport Library is at 925 Broad St.
