THE DRUMMER OF TEDWORTH
Poltergeists are ghosts that make noise and throw objects. The Drummer of Tedworth was a mischievous poltergeist that scared a family in England. There were many incidents when the Rochesters moved to an old house in Tedworth in 1980. Once, when they were sleeping very late at night, the poltergeist started to play a drum very noisily. The family couldn´t sleep at all. Casey, the older son, remembered, "one day I was watching TV in the living room.

Suddenly, many objects started flying toward me. There books and pencils moving in the air. I guess the poltergeist didn´t like the TV program I was watching" There was a room in the house that the Drummer of Tedworth never allowed the family to enter. What was there in that room? It is a mystery. The family moved out when the Drummer started to destroy the furniture in the house.
