Video Description

This documentary uncovers the chilling true story of Hollywood icon Elke Sommer and her husband, Joe Hyams, as they faced one of the most compelling and bizarre paranormal hauntings you’ve likely never heard of. From mysterious sounds in the dining room to eerie apparitions, this spine-tingling case will leave you questioning the boundaries between the living and the dead.

I'm Peter Laws, an author, podcaster and now YouTube creator. I'm a columnist for the acclaimed paranormal magazine, The Fortean Times, and I've been an 'expert' on the BBC Sounds show Uncanny. I'm also the creator of the Creepy Cove Community Church Podcast and the writer of five books. There have been four books in the Matt Hunter horror-thriller series, as well as a non-fiction book called The Frighteners (which explains and defends morbid interest).
