In this episode, we take a terrifying journey into the real-life events that inspired the 1982 horror classic Poltergeist. While the film became a cultural phenomenon, the true story behind it is just as eerie—if not more so. We explore the strange and unsettling happenings that allegedly took place in a suburban home, blurring the line between fact and fiction.
