It began in the winter of 1987… in a cold, old mining cottage in Coalville, England. What young Andrew Hopkins experienced inside that house would haunt him — and his family — for years to come.
From unexplained footsteps in the dead of night… to objects moving on their own… to a terrifying shadow figure that crept into his bedroom — what started as strange disturbances soon escalated into something far darker.
Was it a case of childhood imagination… or something truly supernatural?
In this chilling true paranormal story, we explore Andrew’s encounters with a malevolent entity that seemed to grow stronger over time — feeding on fear, conflict, and negative energy. As the activity intensified, the haunting became physical… violent… and deeply personal.
