The Berini Haunting

The strange, horrifying events that took place in a New England home in the late 1970s and early 1980s have been documented and investigated, but never fully explained. They began as a series of benign if remarkable hauntings and escalated into terrifying poltergeist phenomena, making this one of the most astonishing cases of ghostly activity in recent American history.

The real name of the family involved has been kept secret to protect their privacy, but the investigators for the Psychical Research Foundation provided them with the pseudonym of Berini. First names have also been changed.

The Berini's unsettling clash with the paranormal started after the father, Joe Berini, moved the family into his ancestral home located in a New England town. The house had been in the family for many years: Joe's father grew up there, and several family members had died in the house. All seemed normal, at first, as Joe settled in with his wife Rose and her two children from a previous marriage, John and Daisy. It was one night in May, 1979 that Rose began to hear a disembodied voice. It sounded like that of a little girl, Rose said, and the first time she heard it, it said, "Mama, mama, this is Serena."

No one knew who Serena was or what the voice might mean. It wasn't until a later investigation into family history that Joe learned that his father had a sister named Serena who died in the house at the age of five more than 50 years previous. But what was Serena's message trying to convey? It turned out that Serena's voice would be a forewarning of family danger - on more than one occasion. The very next day after Rose first heard Serena's voice, Daisy was taken for a scheduled appointment to have her tonsils taken out. Something went wrong during the surgery, however. Daisy's heart failed and she nearly died.

The girl's voice was heard on several more occasions, once on a June night before Joe's grandmother suffered a stroke, and again in November just before the old woman passed away. A fourth time, Joe was awakened by Serena's voice to find Rose choking in her sleep. Upon being roused from sleep by Joe, Rose said she had been dreaming that her ex-husband was strangling her.

Is it just me, or wouldn't you just leave if you continued to hear a disembodied voice? I mean an embodied voice would be bad enough..........but disembodied?........COME ON.

How fast could I run would be my first question to myself!

I definitely would be out of there as fast as I could! Poltergeist phenomena is one thing I never want to encounter!

Read my true story, the haunting in bremerton WA that was enough for me

I believe this could be true. I heard the disembodied voice of my grandfather come from the back bedroom of a mobile home we lived in in Tennessee when I was about 3 or 4 years old. The strange thing about it, is he was still alive! (And he still is to date)...he was just across town working at the time. My grandma heard it too, and there was no mistaking that it was HIS voice. Scared the daylights out of both of us, and I've never forgotten it. I remember it like it happened yesterday. It was SO WEIRD!!

I am a true believer!
