In the late 1960s, a small law office in the quiet Bavarian town of Rosenheim became the center of one of the most well-documented—and most controversial—poltergeist cases in modern history.

Lights exploded. Phones rang without being connected. Heavy filing cabinets moved on their own. Electrical meters spun wildly, recording surges no one could explain. And unlike many alleged hauntings, this one didn’t stay confined to whispers and rumors—it drew the attention of engineers, physicists, psychologists, police, and courts of law.

In this episode of From the Void, we examine what became known as The Rosenheim Haunting: a case investigated by professionals, witnessed by skeptics, and still debated decades later.

• What first began happening inside the Rosenheim law office
• The bizarre electrical disturbances recorded by utility companies
• Phone malfunctions documented by technicians
• Objects moving without visible cause in front of witnesses
• Why police and engineers ruled out fraud and faulty wiring
• The involvement of parapsychologist Hans Bender
• The theory of recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis (RSPK)
• The young employee at the center of the phenomenon—and why that mattered
• Skeptical explanations, unresolved contradictions, and lingering questions

Throughout the episode, we separate documented events from interpretation, clearly distinguishing what was observed, what was measured, and where speculation begins.

This episode discusses psychological stress, unexplained disturbances, and alleged paranormal activity. No graphic content is included.

Many haunting stories rely on personal testimony alone. Rosenheim stands apart because:

• Events were observed by multiple independent witnesses
• Electrical anomalies were physically recorded
• Authorities and technical experts were involved
• The disturbances ceased when a specific individual left the environment

Whether interpreted as a genuine paranormal event, a rare psychological phenomenon, or something still not fully understood, the Rosenheim Haunting remains one of the most compelling cases ever placed under professional scrutiny.
