Synopsis: Frisky poltergeists put a little excitement into the daily routine of the Freeling family's humdrum lives by moving furniture and communicating with their youngest daughter, Carol Anne, through the television set.

To win the child back, the family calls in a team of parapsychologists and a midget psychic who conduct an elaborate exorcism.
