On this chilling episode of The Wandering Road, we dive into one of the most infamous and unsettling hauntings in American history: the Smurl Family haunting. From 1974 to 1989, Jack and Janet Smurl and their children endured years of terrifying disturbances in their West Pittston, Pennsylvania duplex—encounters that ranged from unexplained noises and foul odors to violent attacks and apparitions.

We’ll explore how the haunting began subtly before escalating into something darker, drawing in neighbors, media attention, and even famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. Was the Smurl family truly tormented by malevolent forces, or was there another explanation behind their nightmarish ordeal?

Join us as we unravel the accounts of the haunting, the investigations that followed, and the lingering mystery that continues to haunt paranormal circles today.
