“One of the great,classic works on the poltergeist...”
                                                        Author Colin Wilson

“A highly readable account of one of the most significant
poltergeist cases in years”.

                        Alan Murdie, Head of the Spontaneous
Cases Committee, The Society for Psychical Research
and former Chairman of The
Ghost Club

“The most incredible case I’ve ever investigated - truly chilling”.

                             Mike Hallowell, co-author of The South
                              Shields Poltergeist

“On one occasion I had three kitchen knives thrown at me just
as Mike was coming in the gate.  I actually ran out of the house
screaming. I had to leave the house that night I was so terrified”.

                              “Marianne” during a taped interview  

“Those who doubt the existence of the poltergeist phenomenon
should have spent 24 hours in that house - they’d soon be
convinced”.

                              Darren Ritson, co-author of The South
                               Shields Poltergeist


“There is no Emergency Poltergeist Service - only dedicated researchers like
Mike and Darren who are prepared to give up a lot of their spare time – and
their sleep - recording the evidence as best they can while acting as
volunteer social workers as well as reporters”.

                                   Guy Lyon Playfair, author of This House
                               Is Haunted


“When [Marc] was scratched one night we had to phone Mike to come out
because we were so petrified”.
                              
                               “Marianne” during a taped interview
 

“To be honest, I initially thought that the messages - scrawled in what
seemed to be child-like writing - were threats directed towards the team.
From this point onwards I knew that whatever was causing the activity had
to be treated with the utmost respect”.

                                     Suzanne Hitchinson, NEGRT Investigator   

“The one thing that got me through all this was probably a lot to do with the
help of Mike and Darren. I don’t think I could have stuck it out on my own”.

                               “Marianne” during a taped interview  

“What made her testimony most chilling, was the lack of sensationalism in her telling of
the truly out-of-this-world events happening in her home. She was weary, nervous about
being left alone, at her wits’ end. And afraid? Yes; very, very afraid”.
