it wasn't long after 24-year-old Jennifer Patterson moved into her dream home when she began to notice unexplainable activity on several different occasions when I would come home from work I would hear like people talking in the house you couldn't ever really tell what
00:25
Speaker A
they were saying but you could tell that they were having a conversation things would get even stranger at her housewarming party so I had invited one of my friends and she brought one of her friends and her friend's
00:42
Speaker A
boyfriend he's like there's people in this house yeah a lot of them we having a party he's like no they're not alive and they don't want you to be here this is their house her dream home slowly turned
00:57
Speaker A
into a real life nightmare both of us were just sleep for some time and it sounded like someone kicked the front door in I mean I was shoved down the stairs I think that was when the realization really set in that my house
01:19
Speaker A
was haunted [Music] it's the summer of 2008 24-year-old Jennifer Patterson is ready to start the next chapter of her life and find a place of her own when I graduated high school I lived in town just like couple blocks from my
02:09
Speaker A
parents and I had always boarded my horse and the one thing that I wanted was to have my horses at my house so a couple years after you know I graduated my dad talked to this guy and he's like
02:22
Speaker A
hey my parents my dad just died um the house has five acres in a barn would you guys be interested in looking at it to possibly buy it and my dad told me about it and he's like it's a pretty you know
02:36
Speaker A
cheap for that amount of land and the size of the house um for one person you know so when this seemingly great opportunity was offered Jennifer decided to take a look at the [Music] house there was a stocked pond in the
02:59
Speaker A
back they had a cute little front porch and in the living room there were like these wooden beams that were exposed that I thought were really cute she immediately fell in love with the craftsmanship inside the home and
03:14
Speaker A
knew the 5 acre property would be perfect for her two horses there were just things in the house that I thought were neat for you know little country house I saw the potential and I loved some of the character of the house and
03:32
Speaker A
so we bought it it didn't take long for her to make up her mind and knew this was the place she wanted to live before I even moved in I had the keys but I hadn't moved in this girl
03:50
Speaker A
that I was working with she wanted to see the house she's like I um let's go look at the house cuz you know we were friends and we were bored so I was like okay let's go out there
04:10
Speaker A
we walk in and the way you would go in is you would go through the garage and you would be able to see from the doorway to the garage all the way back to the bathroom it was just like one big
04:21
Speaker A
old long and she walked in first and she goes who else is here like nobody just us she go I just saw somebody walk from across the hall in the back you know by back there and I'm like there's a
04:36
Speaker A
bedroom a bathroom and a bedroom there's nobody here which I just saw somebody walk across the hallway she said that she had like weird Vibes on the house like she felt like she was watched and you know just weird
04:54
Speaker A
things but I was just like whatever Jennifer thought this incident was odd but she didn't put too much stock into what her friend was saying over the next few days Jennifer finally began moving her belongings inside the [Music]
05:26
Speaker A
home right before all of my belongings were coming in I went back to the master bedroom and you know it's old people lived there so it kind of smelled like a nursing home but then as soon as I would
05:43
Speaker A
turn around to go out of the room a giant like whiff of aftershave the old stinky kind like the old Old Spice it would come and be like wafted and I'd be like oh God [Music] so I walk into the hallway and you know
06:03
Speaker A
go into the bedroom on the cross from the other one and it would just smell like an old person's house and then I would turn around and get a big whiff of that Old Spice again and it was like he
06:14
Speaker A
was somebody was following me you know I wouldn't smell it cuz I'm walking in somewhere and then I'd turn around and bump into somebody almost like it was gross I looked in the bathroom in the medicine C CET but there was nothing in
06:32
Speaker A
there there was a closet in the hallway but it was empty once fully settled in her new home the strange activity would continue on several different occasions when I would come home from work I would hear like people talking in the house
07:15
Speaker A
[Music] I didn't have a working radio in the house I had a TV but the TV was off there were other times when I'd be in bed and I would hear people talking like in the bedroom across from mine
08:01
Speaker A
you couldn't ever really tell what they were saying but you could tell that they were having a conversation by the sound of the voices I could never gauge how far or away they would be it was almost like you could
08:18
Speaker A
just hear somebody talking and You' be like you turn around to look to see where would came from and it stops then you just go look around looking for it and you're like I don't know what's going on aside from the unexplainable voices
08:45
Speaker A
Jennifer would often hear the sound of old music but she could never find a source for it there were times when I would hear like music and the TV would be off and I would just be either laying in bed or
09:13
Speaker A
maybe doing the dishes or something but I could never find the source you know I would look maybe there's a car coming down the road with loud music but I would look as I'm hearing the music and there would be no
09:28
Speaker A
cars it was hard to really hear it but it was kind of like the old twangy country sometimes it wasn't like new country it was like the old twangy country like from the I don't know 30s 40s despite the recent strange activity
09:59
Speaker A
Jennifer decided to host a housewarming party so I had invited one of my friends and she brought one of her friends and her friend's boyfriend it didn't take long for her friend's boyfriend to unexpectedly approach Jennifer during the
10:21
Speaker A
party and he's like there's people in this house I'm like yeah a lot of them we're having a party he's like no they're not alive and they don't want you to be here this is their house I was like this is my house
10:37
Speaker A

10:54
Speaker A
night I mean my friend was still there and her friend was still there but I never saw him the rest of the night the next day Jennifer tells her friend about the odd interaction she had the night before and after that party I you know

11:31
Speaker A
know figuring someone was just trying to play a joke on her Jennifer blows the incident off determined to live a peaceful Life in Her Dream Home I was dealing with things that I didn't want to tell anybody like that
11:46
Speaker A
was happening at the house because I didn't want to look like a a weirdo nothing had ever happened to me prior to living in that house I mean I've been to places where people say oh it's haunted nothing ever happened and I move in that
12:02
Speaker A
house and all all hell breaks loose [Music] around the same time one of Jennifer's co-workers approached her explaining that she knew the previous owners who had lived in her house she was like so you bought the place I was like yeah it's you know it's
12:47
Speaker A
really cute and she's like oh I knew the owners I'm like oh yeah she's like yeah according to the coworker Carl Johnson had built the home for his wife and they had lived in the house for decades he built the house for him and
13:07
Speaker A
his wife and they're like four kids they lived in the basement while he built the upstairs they were very religious she passed away in what was my bedroom he wasn't the same once his wife passed away like he would he Lov loved
13:29
Speaker A
her so much like he wouldn't use the dishwasher because she was the only one that could run the dishwasher she was the only one that could load it and unload it so he would never use the dishwasher Johnson became distraught and
13:47
Speaker A
very isolated after the passing of his wife and she said that he would just sit in the living room and pretty much mourn her death until he passed away Jennifer had also learned that the previous owner Carl Johnson had died in
14:07
Speaker A
the home exactly a year before she moved in I just knew that the parents had died I didn't know that they died in the house when we bought it if it is haunted it's just the people that lived there because they loved the
14:25
Speaker A
house and that's what I kept telling myself after this shocking Discovery the activity in her home slowly began increasing well the attic door wasn't shut all the way so I went over there and I shut it and I pulled on it to make
14:44
Speaker A
sure you know it was Secure my dogs were on the couch sleeping and I was just watching TV and all of a sudden that attic door just bam opens up and hits the door jam behind it my dogs ran over there all the hair on
15:07
Speaker A
the back of their neck standing up barking up the stairs of the attic just they were pissed and they just kept barking and I'm just like nope I ain't going over there to see what it is you you guys can take care of it that scared
15:22
Speaker A
them which scared me really bad I had never seen like my dogs that mad [Music] the basement flooded when it rained and we didn't know it they lied to us about the b or lied to me and my my parents about the
15:50
Speaker A
basement saying that it never flooded they just had a pipe burst or something and they dried it out and it was fine but no you would have like a swimming pool in the basement when it rained Jennifer believed she could
16:05
Speaker A
coexist with the spirits of the former owners this was until the activity became more aggressive in nature I was putting clothes in the washer and then I was I had ripped off a couple panels off the wall that had been
16:22
Speaker A
rotten just to you know kind of help my parents clean it out and that was when I heard a get out get out I kind of like didn't know if I really heard it and then I saw I
16:39
Speaker A
continued to pull panels off the wall and then it was louder I like get out so I was like yep and I ran up the stairs and something grabbed my leg and I swear to God I felt the
16:53
Speaker A
fingers wrap around my leg and I just booked it up the stairs and after that I was like something grabbed me so yeah that I think that was when the realization really set in that my house was haunted
17:15
Speaker A
[Music] [Music] months would pass by while the strange activity continued so one night I got home and there was a big picture window in the front of the house I'm getting out of my car and I see a silhouette of this like it must
17:50
Speaker A
have been like a big old silhouette of a man and my dogs are just going nuts so I'm like I don't know if I want to go in there so I mean that was when I I called my brother and he came over and there
18:09
Speaker A
was nobody in the house but I for sure saw him and my dogs were not happy that something was weird in the house when I got home because they usually weren't barking like they were when I would get
18:23
Speaker A
home I would just hear them their little Tippy tappes on the lenium they weren't barking they were just ready for me to come in the door after becoming closer to co-worker Shawn Williams Jennifer begins telling him about the unexplainable things that
18:47
Speaker A
have been happening in her [Music] home so Jennifer and I used to work together we started talking and one of the things that she talked about was that she seen stuff going on in her house and I was like are you sure she's
19:05
Speaker A
like yeah she and one day she came into work and she was walking kind of weird I was like what happened and she said that she was doing laundry and the laundry was downstairs and she felt something push her down the stairs and then she
19:20
Speaker A
ended up hurting her ankle that's kind of how we started talking about about her house being haunted and stuff like that I had told him you know a few things you know I got pushed down the stairs I probably told him I fell down
19:42
Speaker A
the stairs but um just that I would hear things and weird noises and stuff like that I mean I tried to tell myself I'm just clumsy and fell down the stairs but when you have when you're at the top of the stairs and
20:02
Speaker A
you're not even you're just walking and you're not even at the stairs to start walking down and you feel hands on your back and you like maybe a foot from the first step to go down and you just start rolling I mean
20:16
Speaker A
okay I get it I'm sure and if I would have like tripped I'm pretty sure I would have landed on the floor and not go down the stairs cuz that's how far away I was I mean I was shoved down the
20:28
Speaker A
stairs I was just kind of wanted to understand it more and and and because everything that I do I'm really a guy of science I like to understand things and so it did intrigue me but I was also kind of lar
20:50
Speaker A
of like is it really true and after becoming close friends Shawn would eventually ask Jennifer to go on a date the relationship that I was in ended and Sean wanted to take me out and I wasn't interested because I didn't want
21:12
Speaker A
you know I just got out of a relationship well then he went on a date and I was I saw red I was very jealous and I was like well maybe I do have feelings for this person and so we
21:25
Speaker A
started dating and we were together for a while and then he I was like well you know would you want to move in with me and he said [Music] yes so it was a two-bedroom house and we were in the one side and the other side
21:57
Speaker A
was the kids' room and there was um flies that seemed to develop in that room um we'd clean them up and they just came back and it only seemed to be kind of in their room never understood why or
22:11
Speaker A
could not find out there was no smell no methane nothing that seemed to be attracting the Flies they just always ended up by that window the Flies actually didn't start piling up until Shawn moved in every time I would vacuum up the flies
22:32
Speaker A
that were you know dying in the kids room the next day I would come back and there would be 80 more to where I would vacuum those up again and the next day there'd be more no idea why I mean there was obviously house
22:55
Speaker A
flies in the house but not concentrated like it was in that one room it was one of those things that is just weird to interact with and it's like how is this happening and the winter months was less but there
23:13
Speaker A
were still flies there 60 mph winds blamed for leaving the the town of Eureka in the dark and the local hospital on a backup generator for most of today Jen and I were sitting there watching TV late at night and the
23:41
Speaker A
way the house was set up is the TV was in front of you left of the TV was the hallway to go to the back two rooms and in that hallway on the right hand side was a little pantry
23:56
Speaker A
closet the door open and there was an inflatable mattress device up at the top shelf and that device ended up going completely across the hallway at the top shelf area and hitting the wall so it wasn't like the device came
24:15
Speaker A
off the edge and fell to the ground or anything like that it cleared a 3-ft hallway and hit the wall approximately the same height as where it was being stored even if it did fall off the shell it wasn't going to fall straight across
24:32
Speaker A
and hit the wall it would have fall down and maybe hit the bottom corner of the wall it hit almost the same level across he's very smart and he usually can figure out anything but when he couldn't he you
24:48
Speaker A
know he's like I I now you know realize that this is something that I can't figure out and I you know I never faulted you but I figured there was a way to you know explain it but now I
25:02
Speaker A
can't explain it so I know what you were talking about it's like what's going on and how is this happening as the days passed by the activity in the home became more frequent in the middle of the night I
25:27
Speaker A
woke up and I next to the bed there was a man standing there couldn't see him like a face or anything it was just he was blacker than the black in the room I you know it would just be like if you're
25:47
Speaker A
looking into the dark and all you can see is the head and shoulders like the outline cuz that's blacker than what's surrounding it I'm like staring at it I'm like Sean Sean and then I'm like Sean and then I
26:06
Speaker A
looked back at it and it's gone I was just in disbelief and kind of I don't know how to put it almost surreal I guess is the best way to put it cuz I mean she's freaking out I'm
26:19
Speaker A
trying to figure out what the heck's going on I mean during another night just about a year after he moved in Shawn would become fed up with the unexplainable activity we were you know laying in bed and I always always push the button to
26:47
Speaker A
lock my bedroom door at night don't ask me why I always lock my door sound asleep and I hear the door knob turn and out popped the you know you hear the pop of the the lock and the door
27:07
Speaker A
opened nope that's woke me up because I'm a very like light sleeper anyways and that woke me up and scared the crap out of me hours after falling back asleep Jennifer and Shawn would suddenly be awakened by a loud bang
27:29
Speaker A
it was probably 1 2 a.m. both of us were asleep for some time and it sounded like someone kicked the front door in it there was a loud bang which scared both of us I have always in my nightstand a gun
27:50
Speaker A
so I ended up grabbing my 45 and started just clearing rooms because it sounded like someone busted the door down cleared the upstairs um went downstairs cleared the downstairs could not find anything that made the sound so I went
28:11
Speaker A
outside and started clearing the outside um we lived at a her house was on what 5 Acres so we ended up clearing the 5 acres and I could not figure it out nothing was open no no damage but it was
28:27
Speaker A
enough that it woke both of us us up and like I said I grabbed my gun and started clearing rooms trying to figure out what was going on when I was living at the house that was my biggest concern is protecting my
28:43
Speaker A
family I didn't physically have anything malicious happened to me JY did and that's what the concerning part was is you know protecting my wife and my kids how do you protect it against something that you can't touch [Music]
29:07
Speaker A
the couple became even more concerned when their three-year-old son began exhibiting strange Behavior we noticed that our son was reading and then he would turn the book to show the picture to somebody that wasn't there in the room he seemed like he was talk talking
29:29
Speaker A
to somebody I just talked it up to it his imagination we're trying to get him to learn to read and that so he's got the little toddler books where he's opening it up and it's star you know it's not
29:44
Speaker A
when I say reading he's not reading multi-chapter books but it was star and he's just sitting there then flipping the next one Moon and stuff like that nothing was really happening to the children before that it was was just
29:58
Speaker A
happening to me or he was hearing things but then when we noticed that that was happening that's showing us that they're gravitating towards such kids now and I was like no no no no you leave them alone for Jennifer and Shawn this was
30:17
Speaker A
the final straw the young couple knew they needed to seek out professional help you know I am I'm definitely a Believer now but I am more inquisitive about it and when it's happening to you that's where it gets more concerning
30:35
Speaker A
right because there's no way of protecting yourself against something that is not physically there and present you know and and that's where I started getting concerned and where I kind of doesn't don't want to touch it don't want to deal with
30:52
Speaker A
it I figured you know this we needed some help I had reached out actually to someone else that was kind of a big Paranormal Investigator and he emailed me back and said it wasn't worth his time so then I
31:09
Speaker A
went local Jen was talking with people and wanted to research the house and so we ended up finding this one people that would go through and look at the house in July of 2013 the Fort Wayne Shadow Chasers perah sisters agreed to
31:31
Speaker A
come out and investigate the home and [Music] property the team's investigators Tina Lano and Jackie Hicks along with psychic medium Cheryl Fergus arrive at The Farmhouse for their investigation when they came the first time I I actually stayed I wanted to see you
32:12
Speaker A
know I was kind of fascinated by paranormal investigating and things like that but and I stayed and they just you know did EVP sessions and just walked around the house checking for you know um with the EMF detector and just asking
32:34
Speaker A
questions and then that's pretty much all they they did you sure are you okay you [Music] okay what was that what was it did you guys hear it yeah what was that what was it did you guys hear it yeah
34:01
Speaker A
they ended up staying there the night um to try to see what's going on we didn't really get much feedback but they said they wanted to come back again so they ended up coming back the second time so when they came the second time I
34:16
Speaker A
waited on the front porch for them because I wasn't going to go in the house by myself because of everything that we had been through long story short fast forward the the first time that they stayed out overnight they thought that we were
34:31
Speaker A
messing with them with electronic devices because some of the stuff that they got just seemed like it was too perfect so they ended up coming back the second time with her husband who's an electrical engineer and while they were
34:45
Speaker A
in the house doing their investigation he was looking for electronic devices that were hid and it's like we didn't hide anything at all so we didn't know at that time we knew didn't know why they wanted to do it twice but that's
34:58
Speaker A
the reason why and they never did find anything and they brought him to look and see if I had speakers and was trying to you know make it worse than and faking it which I wasn't I wouldn't have
35:14
Speaker A
even known how to do that um but yeah because they got some pretty clear EVPs and they have they caught um a man sneezing when it was all women in the in the house at the time and I know that they got an EVP I
35:43
Speaker A
believe it was when I was leaving and it says don't go um but yeah they they've got some pretty clear EVPs that they thought that I was faking it six of you lived here I did too that I thought six of you lived here
36:10
Speaker A
I did too that on my feet come on tou my my over here by the car twice on the floor for now yes it was one the group performs a blessing on the house with hopes to finally end the
36:56
Speaker A
haunting I didn't really know much about like cleansing houses or getting rid of spirits I didn't really know anything about that so I thought you know whatever they were saying would work we ended up having a sage burned
37:14
Speaker A
once as a cleansing of the house um but it didn't seem to help the conclusion they came up with was we can Sage the house bless the house and try try to live with him but they didn't think there was any way of
37:31
Speaker A
getting rid of the entities that were there you didn't get pushed down the stairs and if I can get pushed pushed down the stairs or they going to do that to one of the kids they don't deserve that so no I'm not going to coexist he
37:49
Speaker A
might love his house but he can have it I'm not Jennifer and Shawn decided they could not deal with the Paranormal Activity any longer not wanting to risk the possibility of a physical attack on one of their children the family would
38:07
Speaker A
finally leave the home for good [Music] so my parents took over the house to finish renovating and being they're going to sell it for me and they didn't believe they didn't believe in ghosts they were very very skeptic very big
38:51
Speaker A
Skeptics but they had experiences when they were there after we moved out and they were the only ones there to make and so now they believe they were in the basement and when you open the door to the basement
39:08
Speaker A
there was a nail on the wall and a fly swatter always hung there never used it they were all dead in the kids' room so my parents were in the basement nobody else was there all of a sudden that fly
39:21
Speaker A
satter is at the bottom of the stairs and my mom's like what what what is that and Dad's like it's a FL water and she goes that was hanging up up by the door he goes I don't know so then another
39:34
Speaker A
time my dad was there by himself and he said that when he was in the basement he heard the garage door open somebody come in to the mud room and shut the door and walk through around like in the kitchen
39:52
Speaker A
he went up the stairs and there was nobody there it was only his vehicle in the driveway garage door was shut it was just him another time my dad said that when he left the house he shut the basement
40:08
Speaker A
door when he came back the next day to continue working on it the door was wide open when they were finished with their their Renovations we put it on the market and had a reel at her and she
40:25
Speaker A
sold it for us and I think it's been sold two or three times now since we've lived there everything that we tried didn't seem to help so that's the reason why we ended up just moving out of there and
40:40
Speaker A
after we moved out we haven't had anything happen since the owners of the house did pass away there in the house um that was one of the theories that it could be them trying to communicate in some lost
41:00
Speaker A
business that never got addressed and something like that what I think is you know the reason why things started happening when Shawn moved in was because we weren't married and they were religious and we started renovating the basement because like I said the
41:22
Speaker A
basement they built and they all lived down there while he built the upstairs so us tearing down the walls because they got the water down there I think just you know he loved his house and he built that house so he was not happy
41:38
Speaker A
that we were tearing it apart on two separate occasions while living in the home Jennifer claimed she was shoved down the stairs by an unknown Force resulting in various injuries that required medical attention well I tried I had tried to
41:56
Speaker A
grab the banister that went down the stairs and I I had a broken I think I had a broken rib and I either I think I tore a muscle in my shoulder just a lot of bruises thankfully I didn't break my neck or
42:16
Speaker A
anything it was pretty scary cuz like I said I was a good foot away from the first step and if I would have fallen I would have been like at the first step my head like right here but I was shoved
42:29
Speaker A
down the stairs in 2015 Jennifer would be contacted by new Dominion pictures a production company based out of Virginia who were at the time searching for terrifying paranormal stories to share in Discovery Channel's upcoming 8th season of the hit show a
43:23
Speaker A
haunting [Music] it was nice to go on a haunting and talk tell them my story but then to have them you know be make it so dramatic and dramatize it and just that you know they they added to my my story to make
44:05
Speaker A
it scarier I mean it was very scary but the way that they made the ghost look I mean I never I never saw his face I mean he was always just a black shadow so for them to make him look like he's got Corn
44:20
Speaker A
Flakes with black pain on his face all you know that's just it's was awful and at the end they you know made me out to be this horrible person by you know it was almost like they were cutting and piecing my words together
44:37
Speaker A
and saying that I didn't care about if the person living there was having experiences like I would care I hope they're not I mean but I don't know if they are so I mean if I would have were to do it
44:54
Speaker A
again I probably would have paid more attention to their cuz I always watched the show before but I thought that it was like genuine because I never talk to anybody that you know did the show or anything so it was just I
45:13
Speaker A
thought that they were going to be true and the lady that was doing the questions she pretty much told me that it was going to follow my story so the actress who played me reached out to me like right before the episode
45:34
Speaker A
aired and we we were talking and she had told me that um she wanted to know the true story because she said that a lot of the stuff they were telling them to do wasn't even like part of the
45:51
Speaker A
script like she had read the script and part of it wasn't even like what they were telling them to do or how to act react wasn't even part of the script like they were improvising on what oh that's not
46:05
Speaker A
dramatic enough let's do it this way my biggest concern was is like I was saying earlier is that a lot of stuff happened but the way and I understand that you have to have viewers and stuff like that but a lot of the stuff was
46:20
Speaker A
dramatized you know I didn't see the guy down in the basement when I was clearing the rooms and stuff like that I was trying to figure figure out what made the sound and never did find anything that truly made the
46:33
Speaker A
sound and that's kind of where you know it's all about ethics and it's all about if you we really want to understand that ghosts are real we really need to make sure that the true information is getting out because once you start
46:47
Speaker A
putting this stuff in that ends up discrediting the story then you're discrediting the whole what's actually happening and so everyone goes into this disbelief that it's not real in addition to fabricating what Jennifer and Shawn told them during
47:04
Speaker A
their interviews the show also failed to include some key pieces of the story the scariest one that I think that haunting didn't want to mess with was with my dogs because it's hard they have you know a budget dogs are hard to
47:24
Speaker A
manage and had a small budget I guess and um but when the door flung open to the attic and my dogs ran over there freaking out that that was a big one that they they should have you know
47:37
Speaker A
maybe not put so much into this they should have put that scene in there um because that was very scary I just random pictures of my dogs that I took in the living room and there's like smoke right in front of
47:54
Speaker A
them and the local newspaper when they found out a haunting was going to do my story I had sent the newspaper those pictures and people were like she's say smoking in her house that's an ashtray right there that's no I don't smoke in
48:11
Speaker A
my house I have dogs hello stupid I just I would zoom in and try to figure it out and I'm like well maybe it maybe it's dust or you know somebody was driving by when I was taking the picture
48:27
Speaker A
I mean I had someone from The Dead Files reach out to me after we had moved out the house was empty and everything um but they sent me the paperwork and I signed it for them to come out with the
48:50
Speaker A
with Amy to walk through the house but they after I signed the paperwork they never got back with me so I mean that was the only other thing that was going to happen at that house that I know
49:04
Speaker A
of after their horrifying experience living in the house Jennifer and Shawn became more interested in learning about paranormal phenomena afterwards it intrigued my interest um we did go other places that were supposedly haunted there's a place in Columbia City the jail we ended up
49:24
Speaker A
going there and did some things and I didn't really see anything there um I actually down in the basement is supposed to be the most haunted spot in the jail I had lights off and had uh my recorder on and I was down there for
49:40
Speaker A
probably 105 minutes and I didn't see anything there and nothing was recorded but it did intrigue me like I said so I did do a couple ghost hunts and that and never had anything there at the house I
49:54
Speaker A
did [Music] in 2022 Jennifer would appear on the United States of paranormal podcast which is run by Jeremy golden who had later offer Jennifer a spot as co-host of the show well actually I started a new job and
50:19
Speaker A
Jeremy um works for me at our job and he started telling me that he has all these podcasts and he has one called the United States of paranormal and I'm like oh well that's cool um I lived in a
50:35
Speaker A
haunted house I was on a haunting and he's like what so I went on to the podcast and I told my story and you know they asked questions and I we just talked and then couple weeks later he
50:51
Speaker A
asked me if I wanted to join the podcast and yeah I've been doing it [Music] s the realator was aware of what why we moved out and I don't know if they disclosed that to the new owner but I
51:34
Speaker A
mean I wouldn't want anybody to go through what we what we did in their home so I mean I hope that whoever's living there is enjoying their cute little house [Music] if something was to attack what do you
52:04
Speaker A
do this is the house that you live in you know it's not like okay just don't mess with it anymore it's like no I've got to come back tomorrow and stay in the same place so it really opened my
52:16
Speaker A
eyes and definitely made me understand a little bit more of what you're messing with that might not necessarily be something you want to mess with
