#62 The Thing on Chase Street: The Smurl Haunting Part 1

For more than a decade, the Smurl family claimed something was living inside their home at 330 Chase Street in West Pittston, Pennsylvania.

What began as strange noises, unexplained odors, and objects moving on their own slowly escalated into something far more disturbing. Beds shook in the middle of the night. Shadow figures appeared in darkened rooms. A family dog was allegedly attacked. And the fear inside the house became so intense that every member of the family began to change.

In this first part of our deep dive into one of America's most infamous haunting cases, we follow the Smurls from the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Agnes through the first terrifying years inside their new home. Along the way we'll examine the strange events, the family itself, Jack Smurl's controversial medical history, and the escalating encounters that pushed the family to the breaking point.

By 1985, desperate for answers and convinced something evil had taken hold of their home, the Smurls made a call that would turn their local haunting into an international phenomenon.

They called Ed and Lorraine Warren.

But that's where Part 1 ends.

Was the Smurl family experiencing a genuine haunting? A combination of stress, illness, and misinterpretation? Or something far stranger?

Tonight, we move into the house and experience the nightmare exactly as the family described it.
