In the 80s, Steven Spielberg brought us the movie, Poltergeist, about an entity tormenting a family. The inspiration behind the movie came from the true events of the Herrmann Family household in Long Island, New York. Also known as The Seaford Poltergeist, the phenomenon shook the nation in 1958. It was investigated by the county's police department, and even by scientists from a research laboratory at Duke University.
