THE DISTURBING CASE OF THE BECKER HAUNTING

The Tape Library

In 1971, America watched as a real-life exorcism played out on television. What they didn’t see was what came before & after—the terror, the unrelenting presence in their home, the slow decent into madness.

When Edwin and Marsha Becker moved into their Chicago home, they didn’t expect the strange occurrences to escalate into a full-blown haunting. Objects moved on their own, violent outbursts struck without warning, and apparent apparitions of the dead walked its halls. They slowly began to uncover the traumatic history of their home. Desperate and terrified, they turned to a group of mediums… and ultimately, to television.

Edwin Becker documented the ordeal in his books True Haunting and True Haunting 2, offering deeper insight into the terrifying events that unfolded behind closed doors. His chilling account lives on—one of the most disturbing and under-discussed paranormal cases in American history.
