Following the morning of intense activity, Edmund offered to take Marcia out for some lunch so as to get her out of the house for a little while. The strange incidents, though, were far from over. The Arrival Of Ed And Lorraine Warren By 1974 the events had transpired enough that the media started to get involved. The house was drawing in attention not only from the aforementioned Ed and Lorraine Warren, but also the American Society for Psychical Research and the Psychical Research Foundation. The Goodin family were interviewed by police who were patrolling the area 24 hours a day. It was enough that public civilians began crowding the house and one person even attempted burning it down to the ground. In reality, the strange goings-on at a modest three-roomed house [1] on Lindley Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut began several years prior to the surge of paranormal activity that announced itself in November 1974.It must be said, however, that most of these events seem to be the result of a clever hoax. Apparently one of the patrolling police officers at one point noticed the Goodins’ adopted daughter, Marcia, attempting to tip over a television set with her foot. When she was caught in the act, she was questioned, and admitted to being the cause for all the “paranormal” events within the house. Paul Eno remained at the house into the early evening, and while the activity had seemed to die down somewhat, it hadn’t not completely stopped. Outside, the crowds remained hoping to see something out of the ordinary for themselves. However, later in the afternoon as the rain beat down on the Goodins’ home, something truly strange and menacing occurred.

For example, regarding the incident with the burn mark appearing on Lorraine Warren’s arm and that Marcia allegedly “confessed” that Lorraine caused this using the hot water tap, Eno has no doubt that it was genuine. “I saw it” he would state recently, adding that he personally was not aware of any such confession from Marcia, elaborating that such a notion “would be typical of the urban myths that have surrounded this case”.

After questioning, Marcia eventually admitted to doing everything in the house on her own and the case was closed; deemed a hoax. Or was it? This is interesting as it has been noticed in many poltergeist cases that a young child is very often both the focus and potentially, in ways of tapping into energies we don’t understand, may be the source of it.
