It is a good case isn't it.
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

The doco is fascinating to watch - I hope the movie does the case justice.

I grew up feeling quite sceptical about the case after reading assorted articles about it - after the doco I am on the fence about it.  :-\

I think if you read the comments from the men who were there investigating it all the time rather than the 'blow-ins' and reporters you would find it hard to disbelieve.  Colin Wilson goes into it in depth in his book 'Poltergeist', from memory.
