The Black Monk of Pontefract: 30 East Drive Haunting & Poltergeist | Part 1
Send us Fan Mail What happens when a completely ordinary family moves into an ordinary house—and strange activity begins almost immediately? In Part One of this two-part series, we’re heading to 30 East Drive in Pontefract, West Yorkshire , the home at the center of one of Britain’s most infamous reported poltergeist cases. When Jean and Joe Pritchard moved into the house with their children in 1966, there was no haunted reputation, centuries-old legend, or warning waiting for them. But that soon changed. What began with unexplained dust and mysterious pools of water reportedly escalated into lights switching on and off, strange substances appearing from taps and toilets, violently shaking cupboards, objects moving and flying through the house, unexplained noises, physical attacks, and encounters with a mysterious black-robed figure. We’ll explore the Pritchard family’s reported experiences, the infamous staircase incident involving Diane Pritchard, the theories surrounding poltergeist activity, and the investigators who tried to make sense of what was happening inside Number 30. We’ll also look at how the legend of the Black Monk of Pontefract developed—and why later historical research failed to establish the story of the monk as it is often told today. But the story doesn’t end when the Pritchards leave. Years later, paranormal investigators, television crews, and curious visitors would return to 30 East Drive, reporting strange phenomena of their own. Was the activity really over—or was something still waiting inside the house? Join Andi and Feliz as we dive into the history, reported paranormal activity, poltergeist claims, and enduring mystery surrounding one of the UK's most notorious haunted houses. This is Part One. The investigation continues in Part Two. You Two Scare Me is a paranormal podcast coming to you from Key West, Florida, hosted by BFFs Feliz and Andi.
