Sightings – S1E09 – King family haunting – 1992

“It’s an unlikely setting for this real-life horror story: America’s heartland, where the promise of the American dream can still be realized. Clean air and water, safe neighborhoods, a place where you can still buy a house and start your own business. All the reasons why the King family came here to raise their children, and why they want to stay – but staying means confronting an evil force that seems to have possessed the family…”

“This particular home is located in a triangle of high-tension wires...a home like this is a kind of hatchery for ghosts...because of the electromagnetic fields…”

“There seems to be something called place memories. It’s not only brains and minds that hold memories, but places also.”

“We raised the children that monsters aren’t real, and there wasn’t ghosts and boogeymen. And we raised them to be really secure in that...suddenly our belief system, what we taught our children, was turned upside down and shook, and they looked at us...that look of ‘we trusted you’.”

Fairly grim haunted house segment about a family where the mother and daughter are plagued with visions of a murder-suicide. They call in a parapsychologist but get no answers. Driven out of their home, they're sadly forced to return due to it being the only house they can afford.

Dig that description of how it's "a place where you can still buy a house". Buddy, if only you knew

I can't find anything else about this case. Peter Moscow appeared on a few more episodes of Sightings and passed away in 2011. William Roll, an expert in poltergeists, passed away in 2012. Patricia Hayes started a school of "spiritual studies" called Delphi University, whose page informs us her husband has passed on, but is still collabing with her on a new book.
