Venue History

Unveiling the Enigma: The Pritchard Family’s Arrival

Embark on a journey back to August 1966 when the Pritchard family, composed of Mother Jean Pritchard, Father Joe Pritchard, 15-year-old Phillip, and 12-year-old Diane, took residence in their new haven at number 30 East Drive in Pontefract.

The Eerie Arrival of Chalk-Like Dust

Barely settling in, a peculiar phenomenon shrouded the family. A fine dust akin to chalk began cascading from the ceiling, but here’s the twist—it descended from around head height, almost defying logic.

Aunt Kelly’s Astonishing Encounter

Amidst the mystifying dustfall, a fateful encounter unfolded. Aunt Kelly, summoned by the curious event, ventured to the kitchen to retrieve a dustpan. However, a perplexing pool of water on the floor transformed her mere curiosity into astonishment.

Unrelenting Oddities: Green Sludge and Dried Tea

The stage was set for a symphony of inexplicable occurrences. Green sludge inexplicably emanated from taps and toilets, evading even the mains’ water cutoff. Dried tea defied gravity, dancing through the air in the kitchen.

Flickering Lights and Rattling Cupboards

Witness the surreal ballet of flickering lights and shuddering cupboards as the narrative unfolds. Lights danced erratically, casting an eerie glow. Cupboards and doors joined the performance, with even the weighty sideboard offering its unsettling rhythm.

“Mr. Nobody” Emerges: The Poltergeist’s Fame

As word spread, the local press christened the phenomenon “Mr. Nobody,” marking the inception of its notoriety. Yet, to the Pritchard family, the enigmatic presence was simply “Fred,” a name intended to diffuse its ominous aura.

Fred’s Defiant Persistence

Fred’s presence defied every attempt to expel him. Despite various endeavors to banish him from the house, his obstinate persistence remained unshaken, a testament to his inscrutable nature.

Unprecedented Violence: Diane’s Ordeal

Beneath the surface of paranormal enigma, a darker truth emerges. Unlike typical poltergeists, Fred exhibited violent tendencies, focusing his energy on Diane. A crescendo of chaos led to a harrowing incident, leaving Diane marked both physically and emotionally.

Legacy of Unrest: 30 East Drive Today

The tale endures, etching its presence into the walls of 30 East Drive. Today, the haunting legacy remains alive, with whispers of Fred’s spectral energy lingering, waiting for the next unsuspecting soul to cross his path.
