The Methuen Water Demon

House hauntings are usually just the result of overactive imaginations, but the strange case of the Methuen water demon can't be waved away so easily. In October 1963, a man named Francis Martin noticed a spot of moisture on his den wall. He investigated it and a spray of ice-cold water emitted from the wall for about 20 seconds before stopping. Over the next few weeks, this phenomenon repeated itself all over the house, ruining their furniture. The family fled the domicile and temporarily moved in at Mr. Martin's mother-in-law's house, only to have the weird water phenomenon happen there as well. They returned home and the waterspouts gradually tapered off and stopped, with nobody able to offer an explanation. (Photo credit: Mike via Flickr CC)
