The Haunting of 21 St. Helens Avenue — Murphy Family

Northeast Baltimore, Maryland

The record

Author and screenwriter Sean Paul Murphy describes reported experiences in his family’s northeast Baltimore home through a series of recollections and interviews titled The Haunting of 21 St. Helens Avenue. Family accounts include voices apparently mimicking familiar people, unexplained footsteps and disturbances around a bed. Baltimore Magazine also interviewed Murphy about the account. The street address in the series title is historical, not a visitor destination. Murphy’s novel Chapel Street draws inspiration from these experiences but is fiction; the firsthand blog accounts and later reporting should be distinguished from that adaptation. These are attributed experiences, not independently established supernatural events.

Paranormal explanations remain claims, not established facts. Read the original sources for context.
