The Black Monk and the Prichards

In 1970, Joe and Jean Prichart lived at number 30 East Drive in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. They were plagued by problems in the house from the start; they named it 'Fred' The family soon learned that Fred was not just mischievous, but also violent. After Fred attempted to strangle Diane a second time, this time with an electrical cord, the family asked for help. Even the mayor came by for a visit, but nothing seemed to help. Eventually, the Prichards moved away, and the noises inside number 30 stopped. But according to the woman who lives next door,. He still makes frequent visits to her side of the wall," she said.
