Furthermore, the sulfur-type smell had also returned, as well as a “constant hum” that all present could hear.

Firefighters and law enforcement agents have gone on record to say they witnessed everything from chairs moving on their own, crucifixes being ejected from their wall anchors, and knives being thrown by an invisible force. The activity seemed to center around a little girl.

They also managed to speak to the police department who were seemingly happy to assist in the team’s investigation, although they wished to do so “quietly”. This, of course, suited Batey, who very much wished to work away from the glare of the media and onlookers.

Over the days that followed, though, and much to the Goodins relief, it appeared the strange events inside the family home was dying down. And by the time December had rolled around, they appeared to have stopped altogether.

Outside: At the front you will find steps leading to the front door and a patio area to side giving you views over the front green. However, some officers appeared to reject the hoax theory. Officer Tomek, for example, would state that he did see some bizarre things, but he didn’t have an explanation for them, further saying that he “doubted the Goodins could have caused these things to move” and that they “typically weren’t even near” items that seemingly moved of their own accord. Another officer would state that it wasn’t merely one or two moving items but “many different things happening all at once”.

In 1974 the property was a hotbed of activity not only from the poltergeist but media attention. The Warrens were called in as was the American Society for Psychical Research and the Psychical Research Foundation.By 1974 the events had transpired enough that the media started to get involved. The house was drawing in attention not only from the aforementioned Ed and Lorraine Warren, but also the American Society for Psychical Research and the Psychical Research Foundation. The Goodin family were interviewed by police who were patrolling the area 24 hours a day. It was enough that public civilians began crowding the house and one person even attempted burning it down to the ground. Although, at least in retrospect, it appeared that Marcia was only confessing to some of the more recent incidents, it soon snowballed – perhaps helped along by the police – into giving them a reason to ultimately close the case as a complete hoax. And they would waste little time in making their decision public (something, incidentally, which helped in dispersing the crowd outside the house). The police would also recommend that Marcia was taken for counseling, something that her parents agreed to.
