First few lines:
In November 1974, Lindley Street in Bridgeport became the epicenter for one of most-documented hauntings in Connecticut history. A small bungalow-style home owned by Gerard and Laura Goodin was reported to be under attack by otherworldly forces that were allegedly responsible for moving furniture, breaking windows, levitating objects, making a cat talk and generally perplexing and terrifying everyone who stepped foot in the house.
As the situation seemingly increased in intensity, police and firefighters were called in, as were news reporters, priests, paranormal investigators and of course, Ed and Lorraine Warren. Thousands gathered in the street to try and glimpse the unexplained phenomena that was supposedly besieging the house, and an international haunting sensation was born.
The woman at the center of this died not too long ago:

Woman at Center of 'Bridgeport Poltergeist' Haunting Dies
MANSFIELD, Ohio – The Richland County Coroner's Office set out to find a deceased Shelby woman's next of kin. In the process, investigators uncovered a chilling story of purported supernatural mayhem dating back to the 1970s.
The experiences of Marsha Godin and her family are chronicled in a book, The World's Most Haunted House: The True Story of the Bridgeport Poltergeist on Lindley Street. The book's author, William J. Hall, who helped local investigators track down Godin's family, compared her case to the Stephen King novel Carrie. "It was probably the most witnessed and well-documented haunting in history, as far as the type, the amount, of credible witnesses," Hall said, adding that the November 1974 incidents at the Goodin family's home (above) in Bridgeport, Connecticut, had more than 77 credible witnesses.
Marsha Godin – then known as Marcia Goodin – was at the center of it all. Godin, 51, was pronounced dead of apparent natural causes February 10, 2015, at MedCentral Hospital in Shelby.
In an effort to give the woman a proper burial, coroner's investigator Bob Ball exhausted all traditional means of searching for relatives, including the Mansfield/Richland County Health Department, now known as Richland Public Health. It appears Godin hadn't lived in Shelby long and there was no record of employment. Her neighbors knew very little about her. Her landlord knew she had a stepmother in Connecticut and a brother in Canada. "I even sent a letter to Canada, but came back with zip," Ball said.
