The Bridgeport Poltergeist at 966 Lindley Street | A Connecticut Haunting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- This is a ghost story. 966 Lindley Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut became known as the most haunted house in the world. The poltergeist activity drew famed paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren. The supernatural events were witnessed by dozens of police, firemen, priests, and city officials, and over forty hours of testimony were captured on tape. Never has a haunted house had so many credible witnesses and recorded evidence.
Whether it was a ghost, spirit, demon, or otherwise, the nation became obsessed with the haunting at 966 Lindley Street. These events occurred shortly after the release of The Exorcist, and newspapers printed countless pieces. Then, the world suddenly forgot about the world's most haunted house.

The owners, Gerry and Laura Goodin, suffered a series of tragic losses. They adopted a young girl, Marcia Goodin, who came with her own spiritual baggage. These tragedies could have exposure them to the curse of an occult entity. The home became possessed shortly after.
It began with knocking on the walls of the home. After countless inspections, no source could be found. Then, spectral limbs and ghostly figures manifest themselves. Disembodied hands appeared in the windows, and footsteps formed in front of their eyes. This was only the beginning of the Bridgeport Poltergeist.
Ed and Lorraine Warren came to investigate the home; Ed was more about capturing and recording ghostly phenomenon, and Lorraine was a professed psychic medium. Their research has since been turned into countless film adaptations like Amityville Horror, The Conjuring, Annabelle, and many more. However, their investigation into the haunted house at 966 Lindley Street would prove to be one of their most terrifying investigations.
The spirit levitated furniture, and demonic apparitions manifested in the home. The Goodins were convinced a disembodied evil spirit was trying to hurt them. On November 23, 1974, Gerry and his neighbor, Officer John Holsworth, reported the events to the precinct. Several patrol cars and a firetruck arrived. They witnessed televisions float, recliners open and close, and refrigerators move without any known cause. Priests were called to perform house blessing, and the family pled for an exorcism from the church.
Desperate for answers, many speculated that the haunting was a hoax. Skeptics insinuated that the Warrens, the Goodins, or both were involved in an elaborate farce to raise media attention and build reputations. Reporters arrived to investigate, and stories about the haunted house were distributed across the Associated Press. The haunting received national attention, and a crowd formed on the street outside the home, desperate for an opportunity to glimpse real ghost activity. The crowd would remain for days, even weeks.
Meanwhile, the paranormal activity escalate. Lorraine Warren received blistering burns on her body, despite no nearby source of heat. Gerry Goodin became possessed, chanting the Mass of the Dead in Latin while surrounded by a sulfuric, smoky haze. One of the priests claimed to touch one of the apparitions, while another claimed to have seen the face of a demonic entity in the basement of the home.
The haunted house at 966 Lindley Street had dozens of credible witnesses and official reports. This was one of the most widely publicized horror stories, and it was the focus the nation. Then, it was forgotten.

Well done. Best video yet!
Thanks so much for your kind words!
What state do you live in?
😂😂😂😂😂
If I was a spirit stuck in Connecticut I would also be angry.
Especially Bridgeport
I live near Lindley street in bpt ct and i have to agree with that because I am alive in ct and I am angry haha
I know right my dad’s family is from there and we used to go when he was alive and I grew up in northern Virginia can ya imagine, it was like culture shock with the relative’s, they were like you have an accent Danny I was like ok? Yeah.
Ct isn’t bad it’s the ignorant ass people that live here
Like someone else said Bridgeport is where my father was from, thank god we grew up in Fairfax county Virginia. Bridgeport was always a bizarre place and that’s where Ed warren was from. I never liked going there it’s a very creepy place alot of spirit’s in the air. Bizarre.
That poor kid. I've read some accounts of this that the little girl was pretty much forced by adults to say that she hoaxed all that, and there's no way she could have done all those things by herself, and been responsible for it.
That knocking sounded like it was coming from right outside my room... definitely spooky when home alone.
Yeah Im baked af rn and the surround sound legit had me panicking that someone was knocking in my house
You weren't alone that night. I was there looking at you. Go check the hole in the ceiling that I drilled in the winter of 1981.
@@ClearlyHunter 🤡☝️
I'm using ear buds. And dropping a deuce - I was spooked 😆 as there's no door to my right and bathroom door doesn't sound like that
My bulldog started barking because he thought the knocks are in our room😂
I love the concept of shit goin wild like the table and chairs flopping over, and the dad just sighing and fixing it completely unafraid.
If a poltergeist would start messing with my dishes, he'd either have to knock it off or help me and put them where they belong.
Can't have something in the house not paying rent, and thinking he can fuck shit up with no consequences.
My whole family grew up in Bridgeport but we live in shelton now (I’m 22). I asked my father if he knew about a poltergeist back in the day and he asked if I was talking about “the Lindsey street house” lol. He grew up down the road and said there was always weird stuff happening at that house. My friend Carl is the third Carl in his family line and his father just retired from Bridgeport P.D. I suspect his grandfather was the officer Carl Leonzi that reported to the scene. Kinda crazy 😅
I am from Bridgeport. As are my parents and one set of grandparents. My mom was in high School at the time this allegedly occurred and said there were rumors that the cat said f**k you. Other people in their age group have said the same thing. Lol If my cat started talking I would not tell a soul or my dog. I would Convo with them at home and ask them all their animal secrets and write a blockbuster book. Lol
@@eileenmaher2101 rumors say that witchcraft was being practiced at this house
@@JuanReyes-if6ky I have heard this as well. I know that the parents of the child were dealing with insurmountable grief over other losses---and that can lead to one making poor decisions and trying to 'contact' other realms etc. I also know that the houses--there were 4, now only 2--were built on uneven ground hence--things sliding across the floor. But--who knows.
@@eileenmaher2101 A person once told me of the events of what really happened at this house and it is very scary.
@@JuanReyes-if6ky go on?
These people had a lot of TVs
I know it gets said on like all of your videos but I gotta say it myself too. I can't believe you don't get more views, your videos are very well made and your narration is great (which is hard to find on UA-cam). Keep up the awesome work, I love your stuff.
Thanks for the kind words Keith. It means a lot. I enjoy researching and making these videos, and I'm grateful to have found as many people as I have who enjoy watching them.
@@pandoxvideos And you're very good at what you're doing.
I gotta say it’s interesting how these things happen to the homes of extremely religious people.
Also, glad to see someone cover this case without over dramatising it by adding random “spoooky” sound effects and cheap jumpscares. Those things just detract from a legitimately interesting story. Very much enjoying the content on this channel!
Even ghosts get tired if religious madness and annoying kids. What’s a spirit to do?!
You got a point.
@Wondabyne I agree with you.. if this topic were addressed & studied seriously I believe humanity could find some answers to questions that people have been asking for _centuries._
They are here, but not all can be seen. I'd just like to know how, why, etc etc.
Because only the religious believe in this bullshit.
@@St.Linguini_of_Pestowe have, it's called mass hysteria, self delusion, mental health issues, lies and sleep paralysis.
My dad was there. He always told the story of seeing the refrigerator rise up off the ground.
Is there no footage of any of these events
Crazy
@@StealthTRDisn't that ridiculous? Or telling.
I accidentally recorded some voices while filming. I can't imagine NOT filming when you have a chance to get something good.
The dog and I once heard tags jingling in the kitchen. We did NOT go look! Saw all the movies. We know how that goes. NOPE.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823it was the 70s, home recording equipment wasn't nearly as ubiquitous as it is now.
The cat started speaking 😂😂
Ahhh the old lindley street haunting. Great video bud. As a CT resident I'm really liking your channel
Thanks for watching!
Wow, this is the first time I'm watching your channel and I'm already hooked. Amazing editing. Unique content. Very well researched. AND a voice that is a huge advantage for this genre.
I wish I found this channel a long time ago but the benefit to finding it now is that I get to binge watch it now.
This is less than 20 minutes away from me and I've never even heard about it, maybe bc the only CT people who dare go to that town are from that town.
Seriously good channel man, love the detail and they're the ideal length for a quick watch. Keep it up
Great job with the video man! Came across your channel earlier today, and have been going through your catalogue. Great pacing, great editing, and I’m impressed with the audio. Great use of drones and sfx. It helps make the headphone experience more engaging. Not sure if you changed anything in your more recent work, but maybe it’d be worth trying a little less compression on your voice. You are already very articulate, and your speech cuts through the mix perfectly, so maybe giving yourself a little bit more freedom in dynamic range might make it easier to draw in attention/build suspense, etc. Loving your stuff, and hope to see you gain the following your work deserves!
Thanks. This is thoughtful, constructive criticism. I'll play around with the audio in my next project.
Thanks for watching!
This case in insane. Someone should made a movie about this…
This is sooo spooky and perfect for Halloween week! I couldn't sleep after I watched it. Fire editing as always keep it up boiiii
It's strange how once everybody started carrying video cameras (cell phones) these kinds of things stopped. 🤔
they haven't stopped though
@@AstralBelt- With video editing or special contraptions…
I think most are just bs scams and scammers trying to profit from them. Tho I have recorded voices on a video when nobody else was in the house, and the dog and I once heard tags jingling in kitchen when we were alone. So I know I'm not crazy by myself. If SHE heard it, too.
Not much for a movie, tho.
Another Great video...you deserve alot of uf subscribers...missing 411 cases covered on this channel r exceptionally well done...keep it up...infact would love to see more videos on 411
Super happy I came across your channel. Awesome videos. Great quality! Fantastic content!

@@ChickensPant You're very polite and friendly.
All these videos are beautiful produced. I’m a huge fan.
Thanks very much!
The Warrens instantly destroy any sense of credibility 🤣
Yeah, what about the witness testimonies given by the first responders?
True
Also the police
holy shit. This was the best one yet! Can anyone even top it?!
Wild
You're too kind!
Amazing addition to the body of work- new graphics, great spooky addition. 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️
The cat would sing "Jingle Bells" and yell ethnic slurs at the firefighters too. This is such a weird case.
My cat does too after I spill my beer, and he licks it up. And apparently I'm the one with the problem. Mittens is definitely just projecting.

Oooh Spooky !!! 👻. Top Content, Thanks!
Hey that’s like a mile away from my house I grew up there . It’s a true and well known fact and a lot of people wonder how this never launched paranormal research scientific research
Love this 🥇💯
Thanks for watching Cheyne!
Good video, has any happened lately at the house?
Instead of leaving the home they stuck around to let the spirits continue to try to kill them. Smart.
Isn’t that always the case?
Not that easy to move and what do you tell the next person? Just lie? You can get sued.
Love all your videos
I thought the church wasn’t supposed to turn people away in their time of need. Not surprised they did, tho.
I was one of the many who stood across from that house and did hear strange noises from it...
Sounds more like a ghost temper tantrum… “I’m NOT going to church…I quit. Boo!” 👻📺😵
Just recently subbed as well. Love your videos thus far
Thank you for the kind words!
I was born and raised in Bridgeport, CT. I use to live around the corner from Lindsey Street. I’ve always heard stories about this house.
I live in bridgeport Connecticut only a couple streets from this location and it’s still doing odd things on a regular basis… but 1974 is and was a true event and everyone here knows it. people are still alive that witnessed it including family and friends… listening to their story it’s obvious when you look at their palpable reactions that they aren’t lying. Sometimes they sob and sometimes they lose their minds and never recover which was the case with a bunch of people some even killed themselves. It happened and it’s incredibly scary and interesting.
Has any paranormal team investigated it?? I dont find any documented vidéos, photos....
Yes, as mentioned in the video, Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated the house!
@@pandoxvideos I mean recently, I dont find videos of events .
I live in Bridgeport too, I've heard this story before but not of recent events or any others than the 1974 happenings.
My father was from Bridgeport thank god I grew up in Fairfax county Virginia.Get the fuck out of there.lily.Christ.!!! Huggh
Sometimes it's not the location but the people
there arent any movies inspired by this? is there? 966 lol that 9 is begging to flip over in a spooky scene
Looks like I found another gem of a channel. Ye ye yeah!!!!!
Awesome content.
FYI: listen to this using headphones, it heightens the fear sensation.
Thanks for watching!
4:30 This video left me wondering if these recordings still exist or if they are available anywhere
Subbed! 👏👏👏💯👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
The one odd matter concerning this case was many television stations from around the world swarmed this location for many days yet not one of them captured any anamalous activity. I realize there are many documented witnesses to the activity but validation of these said claims need different types of evidence to really seperate the facts and fiction of such an extraordinary event.
Why do I keep finding out creepy lore about my town this week
My brother lived next door with his mother Gloria in the 60s and 70s. I can conferm this happened.
very cool mini documentary! it would have been even better if you could have found out what happened after wards to them and their daughter. I wonder if the daughter was the one expressing her rage for past abuse via a poltergeist? and who lives in the house now and if they ever experienced anything. A pt 2 would be great. Luv your work!! 👏👏👏
I know the family tried to sell the home in the 70's, but no one would buy it. I think they claimed that the events had died down, but the knocking continued.
As Mr. Solfvin states, many of these poltergeist cases center around an individual who is typically the focus of these activities, and they typically occur is situations where a family is in turmoil. After these events, the daughter received treatment for mental health issues, and the activity eventually ceased. There is no written record of what happened to Marcia the years following these events. Hopefully, they all found some peace.
@@ericmorneau7708 She died in a car accident in 2015. Apparently, she left the Godin house when she was a teenager and didn't stay in touch with the family.
Now I want ryan and shane to go to this place
But Do you have any explanation why there where no pictures at all?
That house is still standing today. It is listed on truvia for 185,000. But off the market. Not for sale or rent. What I heard is -that house is still haunted.
I never understood why (there were Polaroid cameras back then) the Warrens or police officer’s not take photos of these incidents. It would had been more credible.
Tony Spera, Ed & Lorraines son in law just did a video on this, and sounds like your right. Its remained haunted all these years with activity.
Dude are you from CT? If so, I definitely know you lol cus, as you know, everyone knows everyone in CT. Glad to see you out here repping the 203/860 brother! Keep going “kid” (CT slang)
I've been in front of this house in the days this was happening the family was already moved out
More videos regarding Connecticut
a lot of people forget that we have the actual annabelle doll here too
Ive copped H in Bridgeport when i was in active addiction. Im From upstate NY and Bridgeport was quite a scene. Also the drugs were very cheap. This was mid 2000's
Where are the audio tapes. And how come no one filmed this … even if it was 1972..
It’s always word of mouth with this stuff
Over 40 hrs of interviews but not a single minute of video foot as evidence??
Oh ya, the blister on Mrs Warren's hand✋, was probably 100%, put there, before she showed up!
Boy when people want attention they will do the most bizarre stuff, Right?
I live in Danbury Ct not too far from Bridgeport this year there has been 2 murder suicides in my town I won’t be surprised if there will be any of that activity in the houses
I live in California now, but my family's house is on Capitol Avenue about a mile from this spot. I don't care what anybody says, Connecticut is entirely haunted, I still feel it when I'm there, I always did as a little kid too.
That's just domestic violence. Happens everywhere, especially since nothing is done to help
I would have moved so fast ...
im not proud of this but i can confirm this is a cursed area, i used to buy drugs on that same street
luv ur videos bbgirl i just found this channel its literally amazing, the low view/sub count is bound to change sometime soon the quality of these vids is so amazing
Home sweet home! 🙄😂 I was born at St. Vincent’s, and yes, the house is still there..even though nothing from real Bridgeport CT was used besides the pics of the ppl and house- Lindley St. Is a long, very cramped street, it’s like Bridgeport wanted to see how many 1/2/3 fl houses they could cram on one street! You’d drive right past the small house easily if you weren’t looking for it..And the Warrens were quite the couple in bpt., my mother knew them from when they came to our house often when we lived on Pixlee pl. our upstairs neighbors knew them well..
I've got to admit - as soon as I heard the last name "Warren" I pretty much wrote this off as a hoax. Ed and Elaine Warren do not have a wonderful track record of being honest about what they have did. They are not the saints the movies tried to make them out to be.
Same as. All these people but no video evidence at all despite film crews being there??
@@indianastones6032 PS - that is the coolest screen name I have seen in weeks!
@@TimothyCollins thanks
They were really scummy. I’m annoyed Hollywood has always made them legit.
tfw you find a new channel to sub to
All of the hauntings happened in ct runnnnnnm
How many tvs did they have?😂
There was a movie about this case, what was the name?
If the house is for sale then it must be open for viewings. A great opportunity to do a walking tour of the house.
The house has been owned by Top Reality for several years and to my knowledge has never been placed on the market for sale .
When the family cat started singing "Jingle Bells " in English none of the firefighters or Police Officers lined up to receive holy sacraments/blessings from the local priest& Chaplin before they would return home

@@FrankFitzpatrick-rh5dhthe Lord's Prayer works, too. In massage, I once got very sick trying to help a burn victim. Ever since, after that, I've always said it before touching anyone and it works. I don't know why. Doesn't seem to have anything to do w religious beliefs.
They're not going to let anyone wander into a house for sale unless it's an open house. With all thr crazies and druggies around, I'm going to assume that'll be a thing of the past soon! A few agents have been murdered. In general, they're slimier than any other group or profession. So probably not a great loss, but still...
Wait what happened to the family? Did they stay there? Where's Marcia now?
They stayed in the home, and Marcia died 5-10 years ago.
All of this insanity going on in front of dozens of people and not a single person thought to grab a video camera? I call bullshit.
And where is somebody going to get a video camera in 1973 genius? Maybe rent one from Hollywood? lol kids
@@pinebarrenpatriot8289What are you talking about? It wasn't hard to get a video camera, even then. My dad has a BUNCH of that old stuff. Including an extremely solid and hefty tripod, similar to the one someone used to bash Bob Crane's brains in with. (Hogan's Heroes). Still have a huge movie screen. It's not even easy to MOVE, much less swing at anyone, tho! That's all 60s stuff. I think they were using Super 8 then? Might have been later...
Back of the Woods the back of the house in the woods there's Paranormal Activity back there I know this because I've been there so many times there's an eerie feeling back there now you do see Shadows
Maybe because you already know about it?
My dads name is Jerry Goodin...This is really freaky...Live in Illinois however
Not really. I know of at least a few people w my name.
Also, there's a real Clark W. Griswold. He bought a bastardized car like in the movie and drives it around. Lol LTD, I think it started out as.
I'm sorry another note the girl that lived that was being haunted she died in a freak accident in Monroe what happened in October in the 1994 95 it was on the Connecticut Post
Haunted
Subconscious not unconscious, huge difference
What about the animal like spirits that showed themselves? Noone talks about that?
The interesting thing about this case that stands out is the amount of people who witnessed the events. The religious stuff, not so interesting 🙄
Is this house still actively haunted??
I live just over 2hrs away from the house and it’s currently up for sale for just a little over 100k. Any takers??
I pass by this house every day lol
I live like 3 minutes away.
@@namelessfornow1885 buy it,stalker
What ever happened to the cat?
What did the cat say? We need details.
Supposedly he was just singing jingle bells , and he also asked a officer how was his brother ? And when the officer responded that his brother was dead, the cat said
I know and laughed
Sounds like an infestation of LSA-producing ergot in the walls of the old home causing gustatory, auditory, and visual hallucinations. The family didn't need an exorcism or a police investigation; they needed a specialist cleaning company to scrape away the fungus from inside the walls.
If the house still exists it’d be really interesting for it to be tested for hidden substances. It sounds like gas and plumbing were investigated but I imagine there’s some things we know to look for now that they didn’t know back then.
I dont know the truth but yours is a very good and interesting explanation , though I am not sure if that kind of fungus can grow on walls or other non plant or organic material .Anyway on this incident seems to be many people who saw it .What you comment happened in a small town in France named Pont-Saint-Esprit , I guess you knew it by your comment.
For this kind of fungus to work, doesn't they need some time of exposition? Or was it instantly? Because this could explain the family being exposed to it, but not the Officers who just got inside the house.
That wouldn't make a refrigerator float or knock TVs and tables over.
@@Andrew-zr1jtI'd disagree. Why? If your basement floods, I guarantee if you open the wall, you will probably see mold on the inside. Definitely w drywall, possibly even with plaster.
I have a plant growing in my VERY dark garage. I don't know how it even got there. One day, I plan to see if I can relocate it to decent dirt and sunshine. Just b/c it's a survivor. Lol. Weeds! You yank them out, drench them in chemicals and they STILL come back! Plants, spend a fortune on them, water, fertilize... and the damn things die ANYWAY.
This all happened because she was native American and her ancestors were not happy she was taken from them she wasn't being raised within the tribe
I'm watching the Bridgeport poltergeist documentary.
I was hoping it was real!
But since all those people, police, fireman..the couple....and not one of them took video footage of even one friggin pixel!
I'm fuming mad! Because they make it sound so real!
But eff them, for not giving us that! Not once! Ever! They lying!

It was 1974. People were very conservative. Footage would have been hard to do.
@@LV-vw4qs True. 👍..
I hadn't thought about that.
But they had video recorders.
Nowadays it's worse.

@@LV-vw4qsbull. My parents had tons of video gear in the 60s. Not rich or anything. So it couldn't have been THAT hard to come by in 74. I still have a lot of it. It's EXTREMELY solid stuff! Bob Crane, the actor, got his head bashed in by a tripod similar to one common in the 60s. I could easily sew how you could do that. Not the cheap junk NOW, tho. It'll rust and rot and wasn't that great a quality to start with! Dad's movie screen, film, and tripod/cameras and such are in PERFECT condition. From 60 some years ago
@@sandrawilkinson3782I've gotten recodings of voices when I didn't even MEAN to! The dog and I heard a jingling collar in the kitchen. At neither instance did we go LOOK. NOPE. We saw the movie. NO.

Well I can understand the spirits dismay as I've been to Connecticut. "Hey sorry no heaven for you. You're staying in Connecticut."

And the 6s are upside down 9s 😳
The recordings are creepy, I use to be a skeptic until I did renovation on a old Victorian home. Electricity would cut in cut out. Tools were moved or would not be accounted for. And during the summertime. The area of the house that was being worked on felt between fall and spring weather. The paranormal is real. People better start taking notice."
Grow up, child.
I agree. I lived in a haunted Victorian for many years.
That's not really proof, tho. I mean, if it's your first old house, that shite goes on every DAY. lol. I'd definitely get an electrician, tho.
Might not want to run a recoding. You might hear voices (I have, unintentionally). Nothing horrible happened. The dog and I heard tags jingling. Too. Nothing else there.
I have worked on homes on that street.
The house that this happened in is super unimpressive, the house next door is exactly the same design.
Bridgeport hospital is around the corner.
The crazy part is my boss went to school and actually sat next to Marcia.
He told me people picked on her and he felt bad for her.
Did you meant St Vincent’s hospital? Bridgeport hospital is on the East Side of Bridgeport.
