“Things that go ‘Bump’ in the night, Really shouldn’t give one a fright”. This famous quote from author Spike Milligan clearly was not familiar with the house in Eldorado, OK nicknamed the “Leave or Die House”. 

Jess’s kooky and spooky tale takes us to the far southwest tip of Oklahoma. The account of the Solis Family's experience in their Eldorado Home begins with a disturbing message found on the side of the house: "Leave or die." Initially dismissed as a prank, the family soon faced a series of unsettling events. The house, once a Missionary Baptist Church established in 1906, had a history of frequent ownership changes, often involving short stays by families and renters. The Solis Family, who moved in with hopes of renovating it for retirement, encountered alarming phenomena, including the illness and death of their pet dog, and unexplained occurrences such as flying insects vanishing, strange growls, and sightings of shadowy figures. 

As the family's distress grew, they sought help from the Oklahoma Paranormal Research & Investigation (OKPRI), which documented high electromagnetic fields and recorded disturbing voices during their investigation. An investigator experienced a severe spiritual attack while at the house, leading to the involvement of a renowned demonologist for a cleansing ceremony. Despite these efforts, the family continued to face troubling disturbances, ultimately deciding to sell the home and leave behind the haunting legacy of what was once a church now overrun by sinister forces. 

This week’s chilling tale serves as a reminder of the thin line between the sacred and the profane, leaving many to ponder what truly resides within the walls of the "Leave Now or Die" house.
