In 1974, police officers were called to a small house on Lindley Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The family reported knocking, moving furniture, and objects falling from the walls. One officer even documented seeing a refrigerator lift off the floor.

Then police announced the whole thing was a hoax.

But the story didn't end there.

This week on More Than We See, Natalie explores the Bridgeport Poltergeist, the original police reports, the reported admission of ten-year-old Marcia Goodin, and the researchers who continued investigating after the case was officially closed.

And because one flying refrigerator apparently wasn't enough, we're also looking at the 1977 Enfield Poltergeist, where another family, another child, and another police officer's account of moving furniture raised remarkably similar questions.

It's a strange October story involving eyewitnesses, investigators, a talking cat, and a few details that are still difficult to sort out.

Grab your coffee. We've got a haunted house to talk about.
