When a series of dangerous paranormal events plagues a home, famed psychical researcher and author Hereward Carrington is called in to investigate Astoria's "Gold and Ghost" house.

In 1934, a 30-year-old man and his 80-year-old housekeeper supposedly experienced a series of paranormal events at their home in Astoria, NY. One of their tenants was strangled (non-fatally) in bed, the housekeeper and her German Shepherd were thrown to the ground hard enough to break limbs, and the man was visited in the night by a shadow person-type ghost who told him that there was gold buried underneath his basement. The story just gets weirder from there, and even famed researcher Hereward Carrington wasn't able to untangle the details. To this day, questions remain about this story full of strange contradictions and puzzling details.

Highlights include: • An abandoned secret passageway • Psychics confirming a ghost's claim • A stumped paranormal investigator • A mysterious mannikin • Buried treasure
