Books like Number 91 by John Skillen

On the evening of 2 June 1989 a seemingly ordinary West Belfast family was confronted by a chilling paranormal manifestation that began in their home and intensified over the ensuing days. John and Greta Skillen, along with their five children, were forced to flee their residence as the phenomenon escalated, leaving the family without a safe place to live. Their attempts to seek help were met with scepticism and cynicism from the police, health services, and other authorities, deepening their sense of isolation. Since then the Skillens have lived as squatters and continue to endure psychological after‑effects stemming from those harrowing experiences. "Number 91" presents John Skillen’s personal account of these dramatic, malign occurrences that transformed an ordinary Belfast home into a site of terror and explored the broader struggle of believing, documenting, and coping with the supernatural.
