Bridgeport, Connecticut made the national news in 1974 when a house on Lindley Street was declared haunted. Police, firemen, and hundreds of onlookers witnessed furniture moving, objects thrown throughout the rooms, and a small girl slammed against a wall. That was 4o years ago, and today readers can relive the horrific events in a book by Plainville resident William Hall.
Hall, who grew up in Bridgeport and was 10 years old when the home on Lindley Street was invaded by spirits in 1974, has written a book called The World’s Most Haunted House. Hall will discuss his book at the Milford Library on Wednesday, October 27 at 7 p.m.
“But the police knew it wasn’t a hoax, there were 25 officers there, including witnesses in the house when it happened,” Hall said.
Hall will have copies of the book available at the library event on October 27 at 7 pm at the Milford Public Library, along with a slide show and excerpts from audiotapes. “There will be snippets of witness interviews of deceased and living people, so you’ll get to hear from people who were involved,” he said.
This program is free and open to the public. It is generously funded by the Friends of Milford Library
