The ghost's name was Philip, and after they created him, he was able to interact with them.

In 2016, I was contacted by a couple who fled their home because of terrifying paranormal activity. Things had gotten so bad that they put the house up for sale, even though they had just moved in five months earlier.

The following is my reading of the first chapter of my book, "Haunted Happenings: A Ghost Hunter’s Strangest Cases." All of the dialog is exactly as it was spoken during the paranormal investigation I conducted at their house -- and the recording of the demon's voice that I captured on a digital recorder has not been altered in any way.
