The Sauchie Poltergeist of 1960

Park Crescent, Sauchie

22 November to early December 1960; investigated January 1961

The case is one of the best documented poltergeist cases in Scotland because professional people gave statements soon afterwards, and the local Alloa Journal ran an article on 2 December 1960. Owen's own conclusion is a view, not an established fact, and other explanations were not ruled out by everyone who looked at it. Sources differ on whether the house was a brother's or an aunt's, so I have said relatives. The pin is set for Sauchie, not the house, which is a private home.

The events took place in private homes; please do not disturb residents.
