This week on Ghost Bites, Mike and J.T. take a ferry across to the Isle of Man to investigate the raucous activity of the Mackie Poltergeist! In the 1980s, the home of the Mackie family was plagued by a relentless onslaught of strange phenomena: objects flying, furniture moving, appliances turning on and off, and even attacks on family members. Was it a mischievous spirit demanding attention, an elaborate hoax, or something even stranger lurking in the quiet Manx countryside? Join us as we explore the chilling accounts from this notorious case and wonder if we'd prefer a ghost that just tidies up. Sources ● Campbell, J. L., & Hall, T. H. (1968).
