The House in Marsh Road, known on American television as Invisible Creature, is a 1960 British horror suspense film produced by Maurice J. Wilson, directed by Montgomery Tully and starring Tony Wright, Patricia Dainton and Sandra Dorne.[1][2] The plot centres on a benevolent poltergeist in a country home that protects a woman from her homicidal husband. It may be one of the first films to use the word 'poltergeist' in reference to a spirit or ghost[citation needed]. The film was never released to theatres in the USA and instead went straight to television.
The screenplay, also by Wilson, is based on the 1955 novel The House in Marsh Road by Laurence Meynell.[3]
