About this listen

Dive into one of history’s most credible poltergeist cases - the Epworth Rectory haunting of 1716. When the Wesley family (founders of Methodism) experienced terrifying paranormal activity during Christmas, they documented everything. Mysterious knocking, violent bed shaking, phantom footsteps, and an entity they called “Old Jeffrey” tormented this religious family for two months.

This true Christmas ghost story features multiple witnesses, historical documentation, and unexplained phenomena that still baffles researchers 300 years later. Was it a poltergeist? Mass hysteria? Or something else entirely? Explore Victorian supernatural history, Christmas ghost story traditions, and one of the most well-documented hauntings in paranormal research.

**Perfect for fans of true ghost stories, historical hauntings, poltergeist phenomena, and Christmas paranormal tales.
