Paranormal Survivor Underground
Railroad. Interview with

Maureen Henley. Take one.
Marking.

We bought this house in June of
2012. It was in complete total

disrepair. They were actually
thinking about knocking it

down. We actually fell in love
with it. We knew the structure

itself was very sound and my
husband knew he could renovate

it by himself. From what we
understand, it was abandoned

for about five years and empty.
I had a feeling that there was

something not quite right with
the home. Local people were

telling us about objects and
and people moving around and

lights showing up in the house
while it was vacant. They just

always refer to it as the
little wanted house.

Despite the warnings, Maureen
and Mark were excited to own a

home with so much history. We
noticed a trap door in the

floor. You're not going to
believe it. Come on. Look at

this. The trap door would soon
reveal a shocking secret.

Careful. Stairs are steep so be
careful. This is amazing. Look

at I don't know what it is.

We could look out towards the
back wall of the home toward

the backyard and we could see
where there was an opening. So

we kind of surmise that it was
probably a a a hiding place or

or a tunnel that had an
entrance somewhere in the

backyard that was sealed up. It
could probably fit Maybe about

six people down there. After
researching the home a little

bit more, I was able to find
out that this house was part of

the underground railroad. The
Underground Railroad was a

network of secret routes and
safe houses used by slaves to

escape into freedom. This house
was being used to harbor slaves

and protect them during the
evening while they moved north

but I can't say it really
bothered me. I just thought it

was history and I thought it
was very exciting.

Eager to renovate the home,
Mark put in long hours in the

evening, getting it ready for
his family.

I used to see things be in
different places from one place

to the next and I knew I didn't
leave it here. Things were

getting moved.

I thought maybe I was losing my
mind but things were definitely

moving in different places than
I let them. When somebody

decides to renovate their home
or change things. The energy

that has been absorbed over the
years from an entity or an evil

death, a traumatic event, that
absorption comes to life, it

awakens the spirits. I would
hear a bell ringing like a

servant's bell, not a telephone
but the old servant's bell

ringing. Patrick?

Marie. Thought maybe I was just
hearing things and it's

hallucinating but I would hear
it throughout the evening and

not just one evening. It went
on, you know, maybe once or

twice a week, I would hear it.
I heard women's voices and it

sounded like they were in the
next room. They were having a

normal conversation. They
weren't upset. They weren't

arguing. They were just having
a conversation but I couldn't

understand what they were
talking about but once I left

the room, they stopped. And
went back in, continued

working, and they would start
talking again. Mark wasn't the

only one who would experience
strange activity.

Soon, it was Mark's teenage
son, Patrick. One day, Patrick

forgot his key. So, my son
tried the front door. He tried

the kitchen door, both were
locked. He walked around back.

He tried the back door in the
foyer that was locked. And he

came back around to the front
door and then he noticed it was

open. It was just locked 5
minutes ago. He came back and

it was wide open.

Like any teenager, he didn't
think much of it and he walked

into the house. And then
Patrick went into the main

bathroom in the hallway
upstairs and he shut the door.

Now, my husband had taken all
the doorknobs off all the doors

while he was doing all the
renovations. And for some

reason, the door locked and he
couldn't get out.

Patrick heard people literally
walking around having

conversations with each other.

Now I think it was probably a
half hour to 45 minutes later I

showed up and he must have
heard me

walked in the bathroom. I walk
up the stairs and I let him

out.

And he asked me how long I've
been here I said I just came in

and he goes well I heard
footsteps walking around while

I was locking here and Mark was
like I can don't understand why

the door wouldn't open for you
and pass like it wouldn't open

until you opened it

Eventually, the activity in the
house was so intense that it

became dangerous. We were
having lights malfunctioning.

Went to step down the first
couple of stairs and I felt

somebody chug me.

Soon after moving into their
historic home, Maureen Hennelly

and her family began to
experience disturbing

paranormal activity. Down the
air. Which quickly escalated

into violence. Went to step
down the first couple of stairs

and I felt somebody shocked me.
I went flying down the stairs.

I'd never experienced anything
like that before. I feel like I

was very lucky that I was not
more seriously injured. It was

pretty upsetting and at that
point, I was like, okay, we may

have a problem here with this
house.

I reached out to the
Pennsylvania Paranormal

Association Paranormal
investigator Mark Kais and

psychic medium Virginia
Centrillo agreed to help.

When I arrived at Maureena
Mark's home, as soon as I

walked in, I was greeted by a
couple.

They had period clothing on and
they met me right in the

hallway just before you go
towards the stairs. Is start to

realize they were husband and
wife. They wanted to be known.

As I approached the stairs, I
felt I was going to be pushed

and she was trying to keep me
away from the stairs, the

spirit. So I looked at the
owner, Maureen. I said, did

somebody try to push you down
the stairs? And she said, oh

yes. Yes, they did. She let me
know that the female spirit

guarded the center hallway
stairs and that she was the one

who pushed me down the stairs.
She pushed Maureen down stairs

are trying to show Maureen
who's boss. She ruled the

rooster with an iron fist. This
is my home. What are you doing

here? Why are you taking it
apart? Why are you breaking

things down?

Can you show me the rest of the
house? The husband and her were

keeping some sort of secret and
she was the caretaker of what

was going on in that home as
far as their secret It was a

secret that would only be
revealed when they headed

through the hidden trap door.

I picked up movement, a lot of
movement and I was hearing

talking like whispering. We had
a motion light that kept going

on and off. So where one of the
motion lights were, Mark was

touched. Something just touched
me.

There were actually two slaves
in the basement. It was like an

underground railroad that was
the secret. Both homeowners,

they weren't protecting the two
spirits, protecting these

slaves. At this point, they
knew my intent was not to harm

at all. They finally allowed me
to go and find these two young

ladies.

When the spirits of the husband
and wife allowed me to speak

with the girls, they were very
frightened, very scared, very

cold. We sat down and we did a
little circle. They needed

love. I was used as a channel
at that moment to place love

around them. Show them love,
show them care, show them

warmth. And we asked each one
of them to come forward so they

become lighter and go into the
light and as we were talking to

them, you can feel the energy
shift.

With the slave spirits gone,
Virginia was sure that the

homeowner spirits would soon
follow.

After the investigation, the
activity in home dropped off

dramatically. The atmosphere
just seemed more open, lighter.

It's the only way I can
describe it. Nothing physical

has happened to me or anybody
else in the family and I'm not

concerned that anything will.
Before we had the

investigation, I was probably a
big skeptic and I really didn't

believe in a paranormal but
experiencing what I went

through, I am no longer a
skeptic. I, I, I believe, I

believe.

Every building has its own
unique history but sometimes a

haunted past can rear its head
with truly horrifying

consequences.

Paranormal Survivor. Jail
Health Shock. Interview with

Sandy Boyd. Take one. Parker.

The Lake County Jail officially
closed in nineteen

seventy-three. After it's
closure, the jail was turned

into a historical museum.
Sometime in two thousand eight,

I came in for a regular tour
and I fell in love with the

building and I started
volunteering after that and I

ended up doing tours myself.
Originally, in 1882 was built

with 10 cells. The jail once
housed dangerous criminals from

one of Al Capone's most feared
hitmen to notorious era

gangster John Dillinger.

Sandy sometimes got the feeling
that some of the old inmates

were still in their cells. When
you walk to the building, you

do get a creepy feeling and I
think what it is is that you

feel like you're being watched.

You hear footsteps. And at
first, you're not sure where

they're coming from. It sounds
like hard-sold men's shoes

walking across the floor and
the first thing your

imagination wants to do is
picture a guard doing his guard

walk.

And then at times, you hear
some doors closing.

Jails are very common places to
be haunted by spirits because

of the fact that there's a lot
of negative energy. There's a

lot of depression. There's a
lot of aggression. There's a

lot of anger and all of those
things manifest in some way.

They manifest in energy and
that energy can become trapped

in that environment.

At first, Sandy thought the
museum could cash in on the

creepiness of the jail.

I approached the board to start
ghost hunting about a year

after I'd been here as a tour
guide. Sandy's son Randy also

volunteered to help. I do the
paranormal three years during

the weekends to help raise the
funds for restoring the jail.

It was supposed to be fun but
the more that we started doing

it, it was not always, you
know, as fun. It's sometimes it

was uncomfortable. You're
always on a inside the jail.

It's like you're constantly in
a room where nobody kind of

wants you in here. Sometimes
you feel very crowded. Other

times you feel like alleys are
always on you and it's just

kind of uneasy to be in here.

There was a time when I was
walking away from a group that

was doing investigation of
their own. I was just walking

down the hallway I looked up. I
was scared, stiff.

Sandy Boyd and her son worked
as tour guides at an old

jailhouse museum but strange
activity plagued the building

and it didn't take long for the
spirits in the prison to make

their presence known.

I was walking down the hallway.
I looked up.

There's a shadow that was
standing there. I didn't

want to move. I was scared,
stiff, wondering what it is,

how is this actually in front
of me, what is he going to do?

Shadow was in front of me about
five seconds or so and then

disappeared. I saw Randy
standing there. He wasn't

moving. He wasn't making any
sound or talking or pointing

anything out. He was just
standing there staring.

Okay, what's going on? By the
time that my mom had gotten

there, it had already vanished
into thin air. I was no longer

able to see it and neither was
anybody else. When I finally

got Randy's attention, he
looked over at me and then he

looked straight back up and he
said, I just saw somebody.

There's something right there.
There's nothing there. There's

nothing here. Don't worry. Just
come on. We went and got the

voice recorder and we thought
if there is somebody there that

wants to talk. Is there anyone
here that wants to talk to us?

Anyone? Anyone? Anyone that
wants to speak to us? We just

started asking some questions
out loud. Are you a male? Are

you a female? Are you an
inmate? Are you a guard? Is

there something need to tell
us. Anyone here who wants to

speak with us. We played back
what we had recorded and we

listened back to all of our
questions. We heard a man's

voice loud and clear. What's
happening?

Before the appropriate. You
could clearly hear somebody in

the background saying what's
happening. Sounded confused. He

sounded scared. It was
terrifying to hear a man's

voice like that. It makes you
feel as if there's a lot that

you don't know about that's
going on in a building that you

go into everyday. Despite their
encounters, Sandy and Randy

continued with their ghost
tours. We had begun doing a

haunted house for a fundraiser
in the jail. We invested money

into, you know, decorating the
jail.

Before opening night, Sandy had
a few last minute preparations.

Before I started painting, I
kind of said out loud and guys,

I'm just in here, just going to
paint this and I'm leaving.

Just going to finish up
painting. I won't be long and

I'll be out of here.

But Sandy's attempts to appease
the jail spirits was to no

avail.

All of a sudden, I got that
feeling that somebody was in my

personal space. They were a
little too close. I looked

around and I didn't see anybody
physically there and then,

behind me, I had some metal
chairs stacked up against the

wall

One slammed down to the floor
directly behind me. It wasn't

like it had just slid down the
wall. It was thrown to the

floor with some force. When a
entity can physically move

something such as throwing an
object, it is extremely

powerful. It takes an
exorbitant amount of energy for

an entity to concentrate its
energy and move something.

They're trying to get your
attention. They're trying to

either warn you to be careful
or warn you to get out. It's

not always evil but they are
trying to get your attention.

Happened to kind of turn

There was a man just standing
there.

Afraid of what might happen
next, Sandy and her son Randy

reached out for professional
help. Sandy called us in 2015

for us to come in here and
search and see if there's

paranormal activity that Sandy
was stating that was happening

in here.

I bring my cousin Dan Marshall
and my wife Brandy Rush my wife

is a medium she can see the
entities helps us with our

evidence they talk to her When
Brandon's team came in, we

concentrate on areas that we
felt the most energy. So

there's a lone tunnel in the
jail and it's actually just to

connect the nineteen oh eight
edition to the nineteen

twenty-eight edition.

Upon entering into the tunnel,
it's real dark, eerie, just

real creepy feeling. Brandy was
getting a lot of strong

feelings. James, I'm feeling
James. He's angry. She

mentioned the name James and we
knew the name James and I was

actually kind of surprised that
she had picked up on that name

so quickly. We had an inmate
here. His name was James First

Salmons and he was Al Capone's
right-hand man. He had got on a

lot of hits for Capone. He was
not a nice man in any way.

He came towards her very
negative. You need to go. Get

out. I feel like there's
spirits all around you. It felt

like people touching you.

I felt a cold hand grab my arm
real tight. You guys feel me?

And at that time I turned
around to ask my cousin, did

you grab me? He says, no.

At that point, we had decided
to investigate a different part

of the jail and we headed up
the stairs to the third floor

where there's a federal cell
block. The third floor housed

the jail's worst criminals in
the toughest conditions,

solitary confinement, While we
were there, we had our K2

meters on. With Brandy having
sensitivities to energy, she

again felt something that was
more aggressive and maybe a

little more negative than she
was used to.

Are you okay? My fear for
Brandy was that she had made

this connection with James a
hitman for Al Capone. It's when

she had first came in and
because of her stature and that

she's a little on the smaller
side, I was afraid that James

had targeted her.

When jailhouse museum tour
guide Sandy Boyd was tormented

by a ghostly apparition. She
called in paranormal

investigators. Now they were
being attacked by the spirits

of previous prisoners.

She came towards her breathing
down her neck. My wifey felt

like somebody pinched her in
the back. Started feeling

kind of warm back there. Looked
up her shirt. She had a scratch

but it was weird kind of
scratch. It was shaped like a

cross. She felt was James sent
for us to leave. And Brandon's

wife wasn't the only one to
experience disturbing

paranormal activity. My cousin
Dan, he started feeling like he

was real hot, sweaty. Dizzy,
thought he's going to throw up.

I almost had to hold him
because he was going to fall

down.

The team may have been finished
with the investigation but the

spirit was not finished with
them. When I started walking

down the guard range on the
second floor, I walked up on

six-foot shadow and it darted
around the other corner. My

cousin Dan seen it running at
him.

He was really scared because I
came running towards him and

went right through his body and
that's when he started

screaming and I came running
over there. He says, I feel

real hot on my back. Something
going on, you know. I looked up

his shirt. You see a bright
scratch all the way down from

his neck halfway down his back.
Let's go. One, two,

Due to the violent attacks,
Brandon put an end to the

investigation. Being my wife
and my cousin being attacked on

this investigation was very
shocking. It was very scary for

them being attacked because you
don't know. You just don't know

what you're getting into.

The attacks had a profound
effect on Sandy but rather than

have the historical spirits
removed, she switched up her

approach. We've changed the way
that we interact with ghosts.

We have a lot of pleases and
thank you. We became more

personable, a lot more
courteous, thank you, please,

treating them like they're
actual people. Thank you. Rest

in peace. Brandon and his team
questioned us if they could

help us. If there was anything
that we would want them to do

with us or for us and you know,
we kind of made a decision at

the time that it's not up to us
to do something about it.

Whatever is going on in this
building has been going on long

before we got here and we'll
probably go on long after we

leave.

Home is supposed to be a haven,
a safe place but sometimes a

house can hold such dark
secrets that just living there

becomes a matter of life and
death.

Paranormal Survivor Season
four. Interview with Lori

Whiteside. Take one. Mark.

I was really attracted by the
house because how big it was.

It was old.

I was excited to get moved in.
Thought it was going to be a

good adventure. I was happy.
But Lori's opinion about her

new home quickly began to
change. I started feeling like

someone was watching me pretty
much as soon as I moved in. It

always felt like you were never
alone and no matter what room

of that house you went to, you
were just always being watched.

Soon, Lori's uneasiness became
more than just a feeling. I

started hearing the unexplained
noises right away. I could be

sitting in the living room by
myself, nobody else in the

house with me and I would start
hearing thumps on the walls and

they weren't just light little
taps. I mean, they would shake

my pictures type thumps.

A couple times when I hear the
scraping in the walls, it

almost sound like nails on a
chalkboard. They were very

high-pitched. They would, you
know, give you goosebumps. And

they literally every single
door in that house slam shut.

It shook the whole house.
Literally, the whole house

shook and it was loud, like
deafening, loud. The troubling

activity didn't stop there.
First time I seen a shadow that

was kind of like a human shape,
I was unpacking. I was starting

to put all my knickknacks out.
I seen it out of the corner of

my eye and I looked and it's
like, okay, well, there's

nothing there.

But then it came back out
around another corner to where

it was right in front of me. I
was terrified.

Lori Whiteside's historic home
was not as perfect as she first

thought. Paranormal activity
kept escalating signaling the

presence of a dark entity. Was
right in front of me. I was

terrified. The shadow was
probably about six feet tall

and it kind of just stood there
and then it just walked away

and when it walked away, it
like walked into a wall that

went to nowhere.

Lori searched for an
explanation for what was going

on in her house. When I moved
in, the neighbors were kind of

shocked that I was living there
and I'd asked them why and they

said, well, there was a suicide
on this property. One of the

previous owner's husband shot
themselves. Concerned the

rumored suicide was behind the
supernatural activity. Lori

decided to look into the home's
past. The house was built in

the early eighteen hundreds.
And when it was built, it was

originally built to be a
funeral home. It was a funeral

home for multiple years. I
thought that maybe it's just

one of the spirits from when it
was a funeral home still there

because there was a lot of
death in that house. If a home

used to be a funeral home,
there is a very good chance

that there is spirit still
within the home. Spirit will

attend their funeral and
sometimes they might just

decide that this is where they
wish to stay. Finding

everything out about the house
made me feel really uneasy

because if I had known that it
had been a funeral home before,

I never would have moved in.

Knowing the house's history
didn't stop the activity,

however, in fact, things just
escalated. I had gone to bed

and I woke up because I had
gotten really, really cold. And

when I woke up, there was above
me a solid black mask just

hovering there. It was just
there. There was no features.

It was just a solid, you
couldn't see through it. Almost

like a blanket, just black mask
just hanging above me.

Eventually just disappeared
when I seen it after like a

couple minutes. I was just like
frozen in place. I did not fall

back to sleep. I didn't sleep
in my bed for a couple weeks.

That wasn't the end of Lori's
troubles. First time I found

scratches on me was within the
first two or three weeks that I

moved in there. I'd feel
something burning and that's

when I would look and I'd have
claw marks. Three scratches

from seven to eight inches long
I would find them on the sides

like where my ribs are. On my
legs, thighs, I mean just

places that you don't just bump
into and say, okay, well, I

must have bumped into
something. No.

Me getting scratched started
becoming almost a daily or

nightly thing. It didn't just
happen at night. It happened

during the day. I could be
sitting there and look down and

you actually could see the
scratches appearing. I started

going into a extreme depression
with the scratches. I was

getting to the point where I
didn't even want to be seen in

public because I look like
someone was literally beating

me up on a daily basis. I just
couldn't handle it no more.

To help her, Lori called in
paranormal investigators Eric

McGill and Sean Gilmore.

She was at her wit's end. She
had had so many experiences by

this time. Sean is an empath
and Sean's initial impression

was that he felt a presence, a
very strong presence. Sean

stated that when he came in, he
immediately felt like a weight

was on his shoulders. The air
was just thick and very, very,

very impressive. For the
investigation, we brought out

about six to eight static
cameras. They set up cameras

everywhere. Had all kinds of
equipment set up in places.

Eric and Sean decided to start
at the heart of the activity,

Lori's bedroom. As I was
watching the K two meter go off

and what seemed to be
responding to us intelligently,

it was pretty surprising but
all of a sudden, the K 2 meter

just stopped getting any
readings. It just went to a

zero again. We walked back
downstairs to check our

cameras. And then we heard and
felt a loud crash. I like to

describe it similar to somebody
drop the bowling ball from

about chest level. The floor
bounced underneath of our feet.

The whole house just shook. The
windows rattled the whole nine

yards. When Sean and I felt and
heard the loud noise, we

immediately started going
towards the room where we

thought that sound originated.
Before I entered the threshold,

I felt a strong static charge
and a very cold chill and I

just froze.

We found that our camera had
been shut off all on its own.

This kind of interaction was
kind of like a wake up call for

us. It reminded us that we
didn't introduce ourselves to

the presence before we started
the investigation. Before

beginning an investigation,
it's really important to

introduce yourself to the
spirits in the home because you

want to make sure that they are
not intimidated by your

presence and they can really be
upset that you're there. So,

you want to make sure that you
tell them that you're not there

to hurt them and you certainly
aren't there to provoke them.

We sincerely apologize for
intruding on your space.

They mean you're no harm.

Let's go back downstairs. By
the end of the investigation, I

still hadn't reached any
conclusions or anything like

that. We were pretty much
relying on going home, filing

through all the footage, and
seeing what we captured but

initially, my assumption was
that there was just a strong

presence there that wanted to
communicate. They explained to

me that they had a lot of stuff
they had to go through and that

it could be a few weeks before
I hear anything.

After the investigation, the
activity did change and it

changed to the worst.

One night when I was in bed, I
woke up to being suffocated and

choked by something that was
not human. It was extremely

solid black mass. Smelt like
death. I really thought I was

going to die at that point.

Rory Whiteside had been the
victim of terrifying paranormal

activity in her home. But even
after calling in experts to

help out, the evil entity
continued to attack her. I was

being physically assaulted by
something that was not human.

It was extremely solid black
mass. Smelt like death.

I remember trying to scream for
help. Nothing would come out.

Nothing. It was choking me. I
couldn't breathe. When I

realized I wasn't able to even
get out of it's grass, I was

terrified.

I really thought I was going to
die at that point. It ended

when I seen a white light. It
was like a flash of white

light. I don't know where the
white light came from. But once

that white light just flashed,
it just was gone. I don't know

where it went but it was dawn.

The attack made me feel
violated. It made me feel

filthy, disgusted, I took a
shower and literally tried to

scrub my skin off because I
felt that dirty.

After I got attacked like this
is when I decided I could not

live in this home any longer
and I packed up and I was out

of the home within a week. I
left. I left property behind

that I refuse to even go back
and touch. Even though the

investigation results proved in
conclusive, Lori finally found

peace as she settled into a new
home. Since I've moved, I am

safe. I can't be 100% certain
if the escalation and activity

was a direct result of our
investigation. When dealing

with the paranormal anything is
possible because we're dealing

with the unknown. I believe if
I had decided to stay there, it

would have killed me. I
strongly believe in my heart

whatever is there, it would
have killed me. If I could

forget that house ever existed,
that would make me a happy

person.
