History: The Monroe House, built in the 1860s, has long been shrouded in mystery and tales of paranormal activity. Over the years, it has earned nicknames such as the “Demon House” due to reports of occult rituals and violent hauntings.
Notably, during a 2016 investigation by the television show “Paranormal Lockdown,” human skeletal remains were discovered in the basement’s crawlspace, leading to a police investigation. The remains were estimated to be over a century old, though their identity remains unknown.
Hauntings: Visitors and investigators have reported a range of unsettling phenomena, including:
- Apparitions of a young girl seen in the upstairs windows.
- Shadowy figures moving throughout the house.
- Disembodied voices and unexplained noises.
- Physical sensations such as touches or tugs.
- Sudden feelings of unease or dread.
Personal Experiences: In 2014, a team of ghost hunters fled the house after a horrific experience in the basement that they refuse to talk about. Everyone in the group panicked and ran out of the house, refusing to go back inside.
