Decades after the publicity quieted, paranormal investigator uncovered more than 40 hours of never-before-released interviews with police officers, firefighters, and others who saw the hauntings firsthand.

The World's Most Haunted House is a thrilling and authentic account of one of the most terrifying and well-documented poltergeist hauntings of modern times.
