This Haunted House Nearly Killed Me

When Keith Linder moved into a quiet Washington home, he never expected to become the centre of one of the most bizarre — and controversial — haunting cases in modern history. Known as the Bothell Hell House, this story includes walls marked with strange symbols, objects thrown by unseen hands, chilling whispers, and one man seemingly singled out for torment.

Ghost Adventures investigated — which led many to dismiss the case as false. However, a number of noted paranormal researchers studied the home and argued they got it wrong.

In this episode of Into the Fog, I revisit the Bothell haunting and uncover new angles that deserve serious attention — from compelling evidence caught on Xbox Kinect, and physical phenomena that left investigators baffled. Was this man are faker, or truly haunted and simply not believed?

I present the evidence and leave it to you to decide. Do share your thoughts on this case in the comments. Believers and sceptics are all welcome to participate (just please be respectful of each other).

Special thanks to Keith Liinder for the resources and writings that enabled me to create this episode in such detail.
