The Guarulhos Poltergeist

In 1970s Brazil, a family in Guarulhos found itself at the centre of one of the strangest and most unsettling poltergeist cases ever recorded.It did not begin with a famous haunted house, an ancient curse, or a legend passed down through generations. It began in ordinary rooms, among ordinary people, with damage that seemed impossible to explain. Furniture and fabric were reportedly slashed. Stones fell against the house. Fires broke out. Objects moved or vanished. Religious items were disturbed. Children became frightened. Apparitions were described in disturbing animal-like and demonic forms. As the events continued, the case moved beyond the limits of a simple haunting and entered the difficult territory between domestic fear, spiritual warfare, psychical investigation, and cultural belief.At the centre of the disturbance was Noemia, a young wife and mother whose family became drawn into repeated episodes of fear, prayer, suspicion, investigation, and uncertainty. Around her stood relatives, neighbours, church figures, and later researchers connected with Brazilian psychical study. Their accounts formed the basis of a case that would be examined, debated, and reinterpreted, yet never fully resolved.The Guarulhos Poltergeist explores this forgotten Brazilian case with care and restraint, following the reported events through their stages while examining the religious, cultural, psychological, and paranormal interpretations placed upon them. Drawing on the surviving source record and later reassessments, the book avoids sensational invention and treats the people involved as real human beings caught inside a frightening and complicated domestic crisis.This is not a simple ghost story. It is a disturbing account of stones, slashes, spirits, fear, and a household struggling to understand whether it was facing fraud, illness, unconscious force, hostile spiritual influence, or something still harder to name.For readers interested in lesser-known hauntings, poltergeist cases, paranormal history, Brazilian folklore, Spiritism, religious fear, and true accounts of the unexplained, this book brings one of the world's most overlooked cases back into the light.
