Incident date:

1981

Location:

Торнтон-роуд

Уорд-Энд

United Kingdom

In 1981 , residents The Ward End on Thornton Road told police they could not locate the source of the thrown stones, which caused significant damage to windows and roof tiles. Chief Inspector Len Turley conducted an investigation, stating that his team did everything possible to catch the person or persons responsible.

Officers camped outside overnight and reportedly used night sights, image enhancers and automatic cameras, but were unable to find the source of the stone throwing, prompting some writers to attribute the incident to a poltergeist.

Police later suggested that the stones could have been thrown 200 yards (180 m) from the houses using a homemade catapult.
