The OG Poltergeist: 1958’s Fizzy Haunting That Launched a Horror Classic
In this wildly entertaining episode of Inherited Hauntings, Lindsey and Nancy tackle one of the most chaotic paranormal forces out there: poltergeists. We dive into the real-life poltergeist activity that rocked a New York family and inspired the 1982 movie Poltergeist (spoiler alert: it was not just about a haunted TV).
From flying objects to popping screw cap bottle tops—this story is as hilarious as it is bone-chilling. We break it down, crack each other up, and even throw in a review of the movie (tangents and popcorn included).
Plus, we share some of our own unexplained poltergeist-y moments that may or may not involve household items going rogue and blaming the pets.
💥 True stories. Creepy chaos. Mom-daughter laughs. Paranormal sass.
If your house ever felt “off,” this episode’s for you.
