Photo by John Singleton     John Singleton  [Article in the Pasadena Voice] Wednesday, 19 October 2011 The eeriest tale of an encounter with the supernatural exists slightly to the north in the community of Harundale. The story of the Bean family was featured on the Discovery Channels ‘A Haunting’ series. The episode, which aired first in 2006, was entitled ‘The House of the Dead’ and is the most watched episode of the series. For Bill Bean, who was only 4 years old in 1970 when his family moved into the three-bedroom rancher at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, it’s still a painful memory. “My childhood was essentially robbed by living in that house,” noted Bean, who now lives in Baltimore County. “There was a spirit of evil there that tore apart our family.” Soon after the family moved in, the back bedroom door began opening and slamming shut over and over again. Bean shared a bedroom with his younger brother, Bobby. They would lie in bed at night and hear what sounded like heavy footsteps in the attic. Later, strange tapping noises from inside the walls would accompany the footsteps.  One evening, after a few years in the home, Bean said an invisible force physically attacked him as he lay in bed. The fear and stress induced by the house caused Bill Bean’s sister to run away and his father to abandon the family. Left to face the spirit of evil with only his mother and younger brother, Bill Bean turned to faith.  “My Uncle Cliff introduced me to God while I was a teen. I truly believe we were under demonic forces at that house. God has given me the strength to overcome this and to use my experience to assist others.” Visit his website www.billbean.net and get a copy of his book Dark Force. I highly recommend it!

Book Review: Dark Force by Bill Bean

Blogger News Network - Posted on July 27th, 2009

Review by Simon Barrett

 The Terrifying And Tragic Story Of The Bean Family

Dark Force is the story of one family’s experience living in a house shared by some very dark forces. For a period of 10 years Bill, his brother and sister, and parents resided in a small three bedroom house in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Likely built in the 1940s the Bean family purchased it in 1970. From the outside it was a perfectly normal dwelling, a house like any other in the area..

Almost immediately after the family moved in strange things started to occur. It started off with noises late at night, tapping on the walls, the sound of footsteps in the attic, and doors opening and closing on their own. This however was only the beginning of a decade of terror for the family as the incidents grew more and more menacing. This was no playful ghost out for tricks and pranks. This was some very dark force out for the kill.

Bill Bean’s story is indeed a strange one, and it is clear that the decade that the family lived in this house had a profound effect on them. His father started the decade as a caring and loving provider, and ended it as a bitter and anguished alcoholic estranged from the family. Bill’s mother went from a fit young lady full of joy and life, to a tormented soul with physical health problems, and finally death.

Bill’s sister unable to cope with both the entities in the house and the deteriorating family dynamics ran away from home at age 16 to get married. It was her ticket to freedom. Interestingly the Bean’s extended family also suffered strange and unfortunate events in their lives. It is almost as if the entire Bean family was under some curse.

The paranormal is a contentious subject, there are believers and disbelievers, and both sides are adamant in their views on the subject. My view is not relevant, but I will share it anyway. I sit on the fence. I have had no personal dealings with it, but to deny its existence would be akin to saying there is no such thing as winning the lottery, because I have never won! Our understanding of our world grows in leaps and bounds every day, but we have by no means mapped everything there is to map.

Even if you are a detractor I can still recommend Dark Force. It is a fascinating study into family dynamics while under stress. Bill’s father found escape through alcohol, Bill’s sister through marriage. Bill’s mother had opportunities to escape, yet chose not to. I have given this aspect much thought, and it certainly is a question that I will be asking Bill Bean when I next speak with him. I see several explanations, she wanted her freedom, and to accept the kindness of others would have made her beholden to them. Or maybe she felt that through dogged determination she could win the battle.

It does not matter how you slice and dice it Dark Force is a very disturbing book. Bill Bean concludes the book with a section about the family members and their status. I found this the most disturbing section of all. His parents Patricia and William both dead, Patricia from her various health issues, William Bean from gunshot wounds in 1987. His siblings Patti and Bobby are thankfully both alive and leading normal lives and trying to put the past behind them.

Bill Bean amongst this chaotic backdrop, that was his life, also found religion. His teen years were spent in turmoil, yet it was his strong beliefs that saw him through the travails.
