    About this ebook

    In February 1958, the Herrmann family began to experience strange events at their home in Seaford, New York. The first occurrences were harmless--just caps popping off of bottles. But soon things escalated. Dishes were smashed, bookshelves toppled over, and objects moved. Could these unexplained events have been the work of a devious poltergeist named Popper?
