Ep#13: 1973 Timeline Twist & The Bromley Poltergeist

2/21/2024: On today’s episode, Valerie’s 1973 Timeline Twist features the Skylab saga, Peter Brady cosplaying as Phil Packer, the All Drug Olympics and a SWEET Dodge Van. Amy Jo covers the eerie details of the Bromley Poltergeist haunting, the unlikely victims and setting, and how it ended as strangely and abruptly as it began.

Cover Photo: Mr. Elms and Mr. Taylor outside one of the Guild sheds. Mr. Taylor is holding a 14lb. weight which had "rolled about the room."
