In this episode, Jere talks about the paranormal investigation of the Demon House located in Monongahela, PA. Over 120 years ago, this mansion was built on a Native American burial site. The owners vanished in the late 1800s and for over 100 years, it sat vacant until it was re-opened as a Halloween attraction. Jeremy details their experience investigating this home in 2014, where a black dark mist came over a chair & lamp right in front of their eyes, and it was caught on camera.
In our first episode, Jeremy discusses his days as a paranormal investigator with the group S.P.O.O.K.S Pittsburgh, where he tells the chilling story of Miss Carolines B&B (now Perkey Pelicans Christmas Store) in St. Augustine, where he experienced not only multiple voices caught on recording but a detailed photo of a man caught in a mirror!
