Sometimes houses aren’t haunted by ghosts. Sometimes the restless spirits living under the same roof as the legitimate owners and tenants aren’t unseen souls of the dearly departed. They’re very much alive and secretly dwelling within. Wait, what? That’s just the stuff of urban legends and horror movies like Crawlspace, Hider in the House, or People Under the Stairs, right? Nope. There have been real-life cases of uninvited phantom boarders and stalkers, such as Denver's Spiderman of Moncrieff Place and New Jersey's Westfield Watcher. Those are the two cases we examine in this episode of Haunting American True Crimes. And if you happen to know the name of the movie I'm struggling to remember, or if you think it could be The Unseen, let me know. Drop a line to podcast@HauntJaunts.net.
