Summary

Alyssa and Hadley explore the peculiar story of 328-330 Chase Street—a duplex in West Pittston, Pennsylvania—which became the subject of media frenzy in 1986 when owners Jack and Janet Smurl told a local newspaper that a demonic presence had been terrorizing their home for years. The co-hosts review the many strange occurrences that members of the Smurl family experienced in the home, what famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren found hiding in Jack and Janet’s bedroom closet, the chaotic aftermath of sharing their family’s story with the public, and what happened that finally caused the Smurls to move out of their home in 1987.
