In 1971, America watched as a real-life exorcism played out on television.

When Edwin and Marsha Becker moved into their Chicago home, they didn’t expect the strange occurrences to escalate into a full-blown haunting. Objects moved on their own, violent outbursts struck without warning, and apparent apparitions of the dead walked its halls. They slowly began to uncover the traumatic history of their home. Desperate and terrified, they turned to a group of mediums… and ultimately, to television.

Broadcast to millions on NBC’s The Tomorrow Show, the televised exorcism shocked audiences and made history. But the haunting didn’t end there.  Edwin Becker documented the ordeal in his books True Haunting and True Haunting 2, offering deeper insight into the terrifying events that unfolded behind closed doors.

His chilling account lives on—one of the most disturbing and under-discussed paranormal cases in American history. This is more than just a ghost story. It’s a haunting legacy.
