Episode 29 - The South Shields Poltergeist

https://ko-fi.com/hauntedukpodcast

‘I received a telephone call from a very distressed Marianne, informing me that her ‘unwelcome guest’ had been causing absolute mayhem inside her home. Objects were being thrown around, doors were opening mysteriously and slamming closed on their own, horrendous thumps and bangs were reverberating around the house, taps were being turned on, their possessions were disappearing from their original places and then re-appearing just as mysteriously, and their young child Robert began to see ‘people’ in the house.’

(Excerpt from an interview with Darren W. Ritson, paranormal investigator and co-author of the book The South Shields Poltergeist: One Family’s Fight Against an Invisible Intruder)
