She was murdered
where the church stands now
In remnants
from a religious past

can you make
your presence known?
Where'd that come from? Hello?
It sounds like
something's walking
There was the sound of female
The temperature

*GHOST HUNTERS*
Season 14 Episode 04
Episode Title: "The Haunted Brewery"
Aired on: Jan 15, 2022.
It's been a long time
- since we've been in Pittsburgh
- Yeah
Pretty much since first season
of Ghost Hunters
Yeah, it's pretty crazy
And you still look just as
young as you did then, Steve
Thank you
TAPS is headed
to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
to investigate
the Church Brew Works
A century-old complex
reported to be one of the
area's most haunted locations
This sounds like a really
interesting case, man
Sean Casey, he's calling us
in, he owns Church Brew Works
I mean, in the 1900s,
it was a church,
and then a school, and now
it's a brewery and a restaurant
He's been hearing about
and they've been getting
reports of activity in this place
for like three decades
All different claims,
sounds of walking,
and dragging sounds coming
from the upper floors, strange voices
And, you know, the female apparition
has been seen in multiple different places
Steve for Dave and Shari
Go for Dave
You guys ready for this?
I think we're coming up
on this place pretty soon
Copy that
We were just talking about
female apparition in a white dress
and she's seen multiple places,
you know, not just in one spot
Right, it could be any
of the buildings
Yeah and, you know, one of the
reasons that Sean contacted us,
is he's worried about
some of his employees
who are seriously
uncomfortable with being there
So he called us to help him find
out what's really going on there
in the hopes that, you know,
he won't lose some staff
Jay's excited to get started,
I am, too
And, yeah,
let's do this, guys
Absolutely man, I can't wait
to check this place out
TAPS case: Church
Brew Works, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Hey, Sean
- Oh, hey, man
- Jason, right?
- Yes
- Pleasure
- It's a pleasure to meet you
- Steve?
- Sean, it's Steve. Yeah
Hey, welcome to Pittsburgh,
guys
- Thanks for having us
- Yeah, well, thanks for coming
First off, what's the history
of this place?
I can tell it used
to be a church
It was an Irish Catholic
Scottish Church,
it was opened 1902,
closed 1993
And there's a school attached
to the property?
Yeah
So this is actually a complex
In 1907, both the school
and the convent were built
The priests had the rectory
built in 1923
We bought it, early '96
During the church's
extensive renovations into a restaurant,
Sean turned
the attached rectory
into a kitchen
and office space
And the basement of the
schoolhouse into a brewery
But many parts of the
20,000 square foot annex
have remained untouched
for decades
When you were taking this over
from the church to turn into a brewery,
was there anything special
that had to be done?
Before we even stepped foot
in the place,
they had come and removed
some religious statues
Since then, there is more
of a vibe of emptiness
I know that you were talking
about having activity for years
Tell me about the kind of, the
stuff that's been going on here
Employees, maybe for a decade,
I've been aware of things,
our brewer, Matt, actually
had encounters with a girl
- Oh, the lady. The lady in white?
- Yes
The first time I saw her,
I was going up to the office
and as I was walking up the
steps, I saw the girl standing there
She appeared to be in her late
teens or early 20s,
wearing a white dress,
she ran up in front of me
and at the top of the steps she
backed into a dark storage room
Flipped on the light and
she was nowhere to be found
One evening, the apparition
was on the altar
And so, I kind of hustled
over there
and the door to the back of the
schoolhouse was swinging shut
She was nowhere to be found
A different time, I was coming out of
the kitchen into the dining room area,
five feet in front of me,
she was standing there,
and then after a few seconds,
she disappeared in front of me
Gives me chills to this day
I still can't wrap my head
around it
You also have a cook, Wes,
right, who's had experiences?
Wes,
actually calls his thing Bob
Bob is like a trickster
He likes to throw stuff
around
He likes to tug my jacket
Down in the basement
of the kitchen here
tends to have a darker
presence in it
One time I saw what seemed
to be a solid mass in front of me
I literally could hear it
making footsteps
as it was something
that was not natural
Paranormal activity
in the rectory
can also be found on the upper
floor, which is now office space
As I was working,
I noticed the chair directly across
from my desk started to move
It just came to a dead stop
I was scared to death
People you're gonna talk to,
they all say the same thing,
they feel there's a presence
in the school
A lot of the brewers
will be working alone,
they're the ones
that are more apt
to hear giggling, voices,
laughs or rattling
Sometimes they say
they put things down
and they turn around
and they're gone
I was walking through
the schoolhouse,
just doing my rounds,
and I felt a presence of
something that I could not explain
Just kind of got chills
And the church employees
have reported phantom music
from a non-working organ
Disembodied voices and
strange sounds have also occurred
Another incident,
I heard voices
I looked over and that's
when I heard a bang...
right next to me
From that point on, I heard a
knock on every table as I passed by
I know you've talked
about being a skeptic
and now that sort of
has changed,
and you're not really
a skeptic anymore, correct?
Yeah. Well, I have
an engineering degree
So I'm wired like an engineer
sort of like has to be black and white
but I think we're definitely
in a gray area here
Have you experienced anything
yourself being here through the years?
So I actually unplugged
this unit in the brewery,
came back the next day,
thing was plugged back in
I immediately
called the brewer
and I was like, "Hey, did you
turn this thing back on?"
And he was like, "No."
He goes, "But that's
where the ghost hangs out."
At that point,
I got goose bumps
and that's what led to me
emailing you guys at 1:33 at night
- Yep
- What are you hoping that we're able to accomplish
for you
and your employees here?
Some of the people are
probably a little more freaked out
about what's happened
Something's going on here,
man. This isn't normal
So it's about bringing peace
to people and...
Yeah, so maybe that will sort of help
other people be a little more comfortable
Okay
We're gonna set up a tremendous
amount of equipment in here
We're gonna have cameras
everywhere
and we're gonna investigate
this place heavily for many days
And we'll find a lot of that history
that you've been trying to get,
- we'll get that for you
- That'll be fantastic
We're gonna go talk to the
crew, start getting stuff set up
Good luck
Walkie-talkies
- Is this the other one?
- This is the other one
- Hey, hey
- Hey, guys
We just got done talking
with Sean
I mean, there's activity
throughout this entire place
We have a female spirit in white
dress seen all throughout the building
Some male apparition but
more of like a shadow figure
Voices
The list goes on and on
He does have some staff
that are afraid, they really are
One guy actually having,
it was like something was punching
the tables as this guy was walking by it
- Really?
- I mean, that's a little intimidating
There's a lot of ground
to cover in here and...
There is, I mean,
three buildings
I mean, we are gonna have to
probably run as many cameras as we can,
as much audio as we can
How are you guys out here?
The DVR's set up, we just got
to get the cameras inside
All right
Well, let's start doing this
- Ready to crank?
- Yeah, I'm ready for it, man
- Right. Come on, let's do it
- Oh, yeah
When it comes down to a
church, it's such a spiritual place
They tend to have some sort
of paranormal activity
These are very important
places to people as they're living
and a lot of times they retreat
to them after they've passed
The DVR camera
and the thermal camera
getting the first floor
of the original church
In this spot, the gentleman
heard the knocking
They've seen the female apparition
so it's all completely covered
All right, the church
is good to go
Copy that
I'm setting up
this camera right here
as one of the employees
was working one night
and she heard a noise
and looked back
and the chair that was in back of
her moved a couple feet to the right
First floor and second
floor of the schoolhouse is set up
Nice
- We're good to go?
- We are good to go
Camera one, we have
the main church area,
a nice straight shot,
it's covering, you know,
the apparition of the girl, voices,
things moving, banging sounds
Anything comes and goes,
we've got it
We've got it. Camera two,
that's the altar area
That's where
the brew master was,
who followed the girl
into that hallway here
Camera three, that's up in
the office in the rectory building
This is where they saw
a chair move across...
- Slide across the floor
- Which is awesome
Camera four, this is the
opposite side of the church
- on the balcony, just getting the whole floor, so...
- Oh, great
And then we ran wireless cameras
all through the school buildings
These four here were running
total of about 10 to 12 cameras
- I mean, that's good
- That's great
- We have extra coverage everywhere
- Yeah
So you and Shari can start
in the church,
and Steve and I
will take the school
Let's go, lights out
Hello?
You've got some friends here
that have come to talk to you
Jay and Steve heading
into school house
This is where people have seen
a female apparition wearing white
That's right
I'm hearing exactly
what I'm recording right now
Yeah
Is there anyone here who
would like to talk with us?
We'd really like to talk
to you
- After you
- Thank you
So this is Dave and Shari,
Church Brew Works, night one
We are in the main church,
first floor
This is where they see
an apparition of a female
They hear voices,
knocking on tables
I know at one point over here,
the apparition, the female apparition,
just disappeared in front of his eyes
Yeah, and he saw it
quite a few times,
- in different areas of the building
- Right
- Mainly here though
- Yeah
Hello?
Sean and his employees
are a little concerned
I don't think you're doing it
on purpose
but you seem to be scaring
them
You won't scare us...
so if you wanna come out
and talk to us,
we won't run away,
we'll come towards you
And we can all figure this out
together
Hello?
I keep on hearing
what sounds like footsteps
and you're hearing it
through this
Oh, yeah
Take a listen to this
You can hear something
in playback
It sounds like
something's walking
I hear it already
- All right, so I'm not losing my mind, you hear it
- No, I did hear that
I heard it instantly, too
That's why I kept on stopping and
looking, make sure you weren't moving
All right
- And there was a sound of female
- Wow
And they're already
female voices
Already!
I mean, we barely started
Does anyone here
would like to talk with us?
Did we just hear a woman
talking to us?
Did you go to school here?
- That walking is louder here
- Really?
- Oh, yeah. Big time
- Wow
And we're on concrete
Oh, you know what?
Steve, it's...
This is no joke,
take a listen
- That was right upstairs
- That was
- That was right upstairs
- Wow
That sounded like somebody
walking to come find us
Okay, so this is the altar
area
This is still in the first
floor of the brewery
and this is where Matt,
the brew master, is another,
he saw the girl again...
and he followed her
all the way through this door
So he saw her actually
running in here
and then she just disappeared,
wow
So it seems like she's always
appearing in front of the same guy
and then looking at him
and then kind of walking away
- And she acknowledges him. So she's intelligent
- Right
Are you here? Can you hear us?
Check this equipment first
while we're in here
0.6
2.3, nothing crazy
I can hear walking
standing right here
I mean, just stand right here
You're gonna be able to hear
because it's gonna be amplified
- Okay
- Just keep on listening
Yep. Told you
I don't know what it is,
but it's something
It's like
shuffling over here, wow
Holy crap,
it just keeps going
It's a whole other set of
stairs, it goes up again
I don't know where
the sound came from
If it came from above,
I'm here or on that floor
I say we try going up
Found all the school chairs
There's all the school chairs,
look
- Hey, Jay
- Lost village there
Look at all
the names and stuff
Oh, yeah
Like they, look, like old,
written with chalk
1958, it says
You think
those are school children?
Sister M.M
Carole and Danny, '72
I wonder if one of these names
could be
that female apparition
that's been seen
Yeah
So Wes was walking by...
and he heard what sounded
like banging sounds,
like just like...
And he'd walk and like
what's going on, then...
And it keeps going, keeps
going, each table he walked past...
- Made that noise?
- It was a knocking sound
- Like that's intimidating, it is intimidating
- Right, that would...
- That was like hey!
- Yeah
But if you can hit a table,
why not just hit him? And like...
Like with that much energy,
I would think that...
It doesn't make
that much sense
Does it sound like knocking
at all?
- No. No
- No?
No. I mean, I just hear your
feet, I don't hear anything like...
We're looking for you
Just to say hi
We do have machines
in our hands
One is a recorder where you
can speak as loud as you can...
and Dave can try to hear you
You can either appear
and we can follow you
or you can make some noises for
us and we will go towards that noise
What was that?
- Where'd that come from?
- Sounded like that, like in that corner
- Really? Right there?
- Yeah
You can make
some noises for us
and we will go towards
that noise
What was that?
Where did that come from?
Sounded like that,
like in that corner
- Really? Right there?
- Yeah
That sounded deliberate
Can you please do that again
so we know that was you?
- Let's go towards where that sound came from
- Okay
So did it sound like it
was something like, falling,
or like a table
being banged like...
It was almost like...
No, it was like...
- Let me see the flashlight
- Yeah, or the thud
- Right
- You know?
We're in the area,
we heard the sound
So if that was you trying to
get our attention, here we are
Again, I have a recorder
that can record your voice
Well, it seems they have gone
Let's go check in
with Jay and Steve
Okay
- Hey, guys
- Hey, guys
Hey, how'd it go?
- It was good. It was a little quiet
- Yeah
Tomorrow you guys are gonna
have to get over to the schoolhouse
because it was active
from the second we got here
It was walking and we'd be
standing still and you heard voices
- Really?
- I mean, one point it almost sounded like
- a little female voice
- Wow
Tomorrow, maybe you guys
can find a local historian
- Let's see what information you guys can get on that
- It'd be perfect actually
Absolutely
If you could get some real,
you know,
factual history
of what happened here
If anybody died, you know,
records of the building, everything
- Everything we can find
- You know, it will give us a lot of ammunition
that we can
use the rest of the week
It always helps. Always helps
- Cameras are all up, it's rolling
- It is rolling, yep
- So we'll get cranking tomorrow with the research
- All right
And now, listen to this
- You can hear it, for sure
- It's female
Yeah, it's definitely female
As Steve and I review our
evidence from last night's investigation...
Dave and Shari
have arranged a meeting
with local historian,
James Wudarczyck...
- Hi
- Hi, James
...to learn more about the
property and surrounding area
Thanks so much for coming
Thanks for the invitation
So we're hoping
you can tell us,
give us some background
of the area
The community is very old
It dates back to 1814
What was here before
this church?
At the time
of the American Civil War,
this would have been
Iron City Park
and it was nothing
more than some farmland
Do you know of any deaths,
especially young women or young
girls that happened on this property?
- On this exact spot, no
- Okay
But there is a girl
that is affiliated
with Saint John, the Baptist
Roman Catholic Church
- Okay
- And her name was Marcella Helena Day
We do see that Marcella Day
shows up as a student
here at Saint John,
The Baptist School
And she was an active member
of this church
Her death took place
on October 19th, 1918
And if you look at this obituary,
she died from pneumonia
And poor Marcella
is only 18 years of age
Oh, my God
She was so young, I can't
imagine how scary that was for her
It all corresponds with
the great Spanish influenza
- Okay
- And the influenza, when it morphs,
actually morphs into a bacterial
pneumonia, which is extremely deadly
How sad
Being that she was active
in this church,
would you assume that her
funeral would be held here?
- Most likely, it was
- Wow
Okay. I mean, this is all
great information you gave us
Thank you so much, again
Thank you very much
for having me
Based on Shari
and Dave's findings,
we're heading into tonight's
investigation with the name Marcella Day
There's a strong possibility that
she could be the female apparition
that's been encountered here
numerous times
- We good to go?
- Yeah, we're good, man
- We were in the school house last night
- Yep
Why don't you and Shari
head in there tonight
- to start off?
- Oh, yeah
- Steve and I will take the church
- Right
- Will do. Sounds good
- We'll catch you in a few
It's heading to the rectory
- and...
- It's the rectory area but also the kitchen
This is where the chef says his coat
gets tugged by an entity he calls Bob
And this is also where they've
seen objects get thrown around
This thing in walking and this thing
being thrown up against the wall
- This isn't just gonna roll off of here
- No
I mean, if that happened, I can't
give you any explanation for it
Hello?
- Steve
- Yeah
One of the swinging doors just made
that sound, like it did when you came in
- You didn't just here that?
- No
Could have been wind?
But it's that's what I heard
but I didn't hear the closing part
All right
Just keep your ears open
again, see if it happens
What's back here?
- I heard it. I heard it
- All right, so you heard that
- I heard it that time. Yes, I did
- Told you
God, this floor's slippery
That's that door
opening sound
Yep, I heard it
There. Just happened again
What?
- I heard it. I heard it
- All right, so you heard that
- I heard it that time
- That's that door opening sound
- There. Just happened again
- What?
So listen to these doors
Because when that just happened
suddenly it came from back here
Really?
I told you
So where's it coming from?
We were just there
and it was coming from here
Now we're here,
it's coming from there
First floor
Here we are
I know Jay and Steve, they
had a lot of things happen,
they heard a voice, they heard
the footsteps, which is a claim
Right
Marcella Day, we're sorry
you died so young from the Spanish flu
Is there anything
you wanna tell us?
Jay and Steve in the rectory,
second floor
So this is gonna be
where the priest lived
Here's the office where
that chair moved by itself
I mean, the chair's sliding
across the floor
It doesn't take much
to move this chair
I mean, is it paranormal?
Is it not?
Really can't tell
at this point
- So...
- Yeah
Oh, Steve
- Oh, my gosh
- That's the schoolhouse here
They're all in white dresses
That would explain
the girl in the white dress
Holy cow
But which one of them
has been seen here?
Now I wonder
why is she still here
Did she love it here?
Or did something bad happen
to her?
So you mean,
traumatic experience
- Right
- Residual type thing
I don't know,
that's a tough one
- Nobody looks happy
- No
There's nobody
in that picture smiling
Marcella?
We just wanted to say hello
So Shari and I,
we're on the second floor
Jay and Steve heard something
that sounded like footsteps
coming from up here
on night one
If there is anybody here
with us...
can you make your presence
known?
Marcella Day, we know
you went to school here
These buildings must have been
really important to you
Can you let us know
if you're here?
Jay and Steve
- We have a basement
- Yeah
- Wow
- Oh, my!
- All right, be careful on these stairs
- Yep
This is just like
a can of worms in here
Wow
All right, so we're coming
to the front of the church
There's walking,
coming from above us
- Yep
- Wait a second
Near the altar
- Jay to Dave
- Go for Dave
Hey, you guys are
in the schoolhouse, right?
Correct
All right, so that means,
nobody's in the church, correct?
Correct
I would like to get
to where the altar is
Yeah. Let's head back
What? You...
- What?
- What?
- You blew in my ear?
- I didn't blow in your ear
Jay, something just blew
like crazy in my ear
- What?
- I swear to God
Something just blew,
like crazy in my ear
- What?
- I swear to God
I mean, I don't know what
to make of that, honestly
It's so bizarre,
it doesn't even make sense
Oh, there's footsteps again
Oh, man, no way. What the...
Let's head up there
and check it out
All that in the crawl space
What was that?
- All right, you heard that
- I did. 100 percent heard it
It sounded hollow,
it sounded like...
I had this camera rolling
that way, too
- What?
- There it was again, you heard that?
Hello?
I wonder what's going
on over there
They're having activity
I think we need to sit down
You should go through some of that
audio that we got under the church
Okay, we'll have a seat
right here
All right. The way we'll still
see anything going on
- I heard a voice
- What?
I did, yeah
Was it at the same time
you had the blow in...
No
The blow hasn't happened yet
- So was it a female or a male voice?
- Male
It... And I swear, it kind of
sounds like it said, "Jesus."
Yep. Yeah, it says, "Jesus."
It's a voice says, "Jesus."
In here, Jay
I gotta hear that
I gotta hear it
- Jesus. Jesus
- Right?
I mean, that's the true sense
of an EVP
We didn't hear it
with our ears,
it only came through
the electronics
- We're at church, you expect to hear "Jesus."
- Yeah
But you don't expect to hear "Jesus"
when you're in an empty church
We've captured
intriguing evidence so far
but need to still figure out
who's behind the activity
Our historian led us to a
church member, Marcella Day,
who passed away
during the 1918 flu pandemic
but we've yet to get
any response from her
Steve and I are doing further
research on Iron City Park,
the area on which the church
complex was built,
to see if we can find
a new lead
I've come across
an article here...
that says that a woman
named Maria Houston
was killed by her husband,
Sergeant Michael Houston,
and it says here that
he shot her in 1864
in an accidental shooting
- Oh, yeah, he was drunk, huh?
- Yep
But she was murdered, whether
he was charged for it or not
So that's where
the church stands now
Mm-hm
It was a park at the time
So we have at least one
confirmed death on the property
And that gives us a name that
we can at least work with tonight
It sure does
Tonight, we'll
reach out to Maria Houston
who was murdered
on the property
and keep trying to make
contact with Marcella Day,
who passed away
from the Spanish flu,
to see if either connects us to a
female voice and apparition seen here
You and James
were on this first floor,
you guys had a bunch
of experiences, right?
We were, yeah,
we were actually right there
That was right upstairs
And it literally sounded like people
were coming out of a classroom
- Like a residual sound
- I mean, I...
Was it upstairs?
We thought we heard
something up here
Marcella?
Maria Houston, are you here?
Maria?
Mrs. Houston?
Steve, I'm having a weird
feeling, like there's something there
Kind of looks like
a children's playhouse
Set up the laser grid
and the GS2
It's a good idea
I heard a whistle, a slam,
- and a voice, all in a row
- I heard it, too
Hello?
Let me get the laser
- Set up here
- Here we go
Thank you. Thank you
This is a brand new
GS2 laser grid
Not only will it tell us if
anything moves in front of it
but it will tell us
how big the anomaly is
and it also has temperature
Maria, if you're here, do you
remember what happened?
Sorry that you were shot
by your husband
Are you the female that's
been seen in these buildings?
This was a school at one
point, a religious school, Catholic
It's picking something up
It's coming closer
Were you here
when this was a school?
The temperature
is fluctuating
70 to 52 degrees
- 70 to 52?
- Yep
We just like to understand
why you're still here?
It's gradually getting
more solid
It's gradually
becoming larger, too
- Maybe it's getting ready to do something
- Maybe it is
Using the energy
in the atmosphere
- Oh, maybe it is, Dave
- Yeah
Maybe it is
- Maybe it's getting ready to do something
- Maybe, it is
Using the energy
in the atmosphere
- Oh, maybe it is, Dave
- Yeah
Maybe, it is
What do you make of that?
Maria Houston, was that you?
Man, that was like a crash
- Yeah. But nothing fell
- Nothing fell
We got a lot to think
about in this place
Regardless that whole
temperature change,
went from a little spot
to a whole area
- Hey, Steve
- Go for Steve
We've done
a solid investigation
Let's call it
and go through our evidence
Copy that
When you take
all of our experiences,
I think that could be
a layered haunting,
where there are some residual
things from when it was the church,
like the footsteps
we captured in the school
One thing that's interesting
is our GS2 laser grid
was only interacting with us
when we brought up Catholicism,
which shows signs of an
intelligent haunting as well
So we have to take that
into consideration
All right
Well, here we are, man
Yep, let's go fill them in
Hey, Sean
Thanks for coming back
All right, Jason, Steve,
great to see you guys again
This place was so cool
Oh, yeah, it's some great
craftsmanship, man
- They knew how to do it 110 years ago
- They did
So we found out some really, really cool
stuff about the history of the building
We're trying to find any information
about the possible girl in white
There's a lady
named Marcella Day
and in 1918, she actually
died of the Spanish flu
Like a Parishioner
Yeah, she was a big part
of the church
She also attended the school
- So she was attached to it
- Okay
So she was probably
laid to rest here
Yeah. She could be your woman
in white
Of course, this building sits
on what used to be a park
In the 1800s, a woman named Maria
Houston was shot and killed by her husband
- In this park?
- Yep
So Steve and I headed into the schoolhouse
building, we did hear a female voice
We heard footsteps happening
on the second floor
It was neat to have
those experiences
because it helps back up
a lot of the claims
that some of your employees
have had
Yeah, and honestly, there's a common
refrain of steps on that second floor
And there's people
that simply won't go up there
We'll play that female voice
that happened really quick
while we're on the main floor
of the schoolhouse building
Whoa! There's a distant voice
in the background
Yeah. Female voice
We think she's saying,
"Inside."
Make sure you aren't moving
And then
when we were in the church,
we caught a voice that sounded
like it may have said a certain word
Yeah
Sounds like, "Jesus."
Yeah, but like whispering it
Yep. Yeah, it says, "Jesus."
Yeah, that's pretty weird,
man
At one point, Tango and I, we
made our way all the way upstairs
to what we think is a
children's playhouse of sorts
And we had what we call
a GS2 laser grid
It's a laser grid that will
show you anything with mass
that moves in front of it, the
temperature and everything
And while we had that set up,
we noticed a significant temperature
drop right in front of that device
You know, we've definitely had
our brewers talk about walking,
having temperature changes,
it's consistent, for sure
And then all of a sudden,
while we're investigating,
we're doing some call
and response
but we heard a whistle, like
something trying to get our attention,
then we heard a loud crashing or
bang sound and then I heard a voice
And we'd like to play
that for you
Oh, yeah
I mean, it almost sounds
like someone calling
It can totally be like, "Hey."
You know, that attic
proved to be pretty intense
Yeah, that was the old,
that was the stage
where they did lots
of performances
and it was also
far in the cafeteria
So I mean, that had heavy,
heavy traffic
There seems to be
a layered haunting
You may have different phenomena
happening from different eras of time
and intelligent stuff
happening
But I don't think anybody
has any reasons to be fearful
With this particular haunting,
it seems that it's of the
living environment,
people that were once alive
who are now passed so...
- Who have a connection to this property
- Yeah
It could be
a loving connection,
it doesn't have
to be something scary
- That's gonna be a comfort for some people for sure
- Yeah
Thank you for having us out
You need anything,
we're only a call away
All right. Thanks, Jason
Thanks, Steven
Thanks so much
I gotta admit,
it was pretty wild
They confirmed things that we
know have been happening here
and it's not really anything
fearful,
that's comforting to me
and I think it's gonna be comforting
for a lot of our employees here
Well, man
I think that went great
I think it did, too
Everybody had experiences
We were able to figure
some things out
We got some good evidence,
we helped our clients
That's what
it's all about, man
Just trying to help out
to the best of our abilities
This was a win-win case
Absolutely, man
On to the next, brother
like there's something there
A restaurant and brewery
with a unique history
It's an Irish Catholic
Scottish Church,
it was opened 1902,
closed 1993
Resurrects a homicide
She was murdered
where the church stands now
In remnants
from a religious past
I just heard a voice,
it said, "Jesus."
If there is anybody here
with us,
can you make
your presence known?
Where'd that come from? Hello?
It sounds like
something's walking
There was the sound of female
The temperature
is fluctuating
We're picking up
a manifestation
It's getting ready
to do something
Hello?
*GHOST HUNTERS*
Season 14 Episode 04
Episode Title: "The Haunted Brewery"
Aired on: Jan 15, 2022.
It's been a long time
- since we've been in Pittsburgh
- Yeah
Pretty much since first season
of Ghost Hunters
Yeah, it's pretty crazy
And you still look just as
young as you did then, Steve
Thank you
TAPS is headed
to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
to investigate
the Church Brew Works
A century-old complex
reported to be one of the
area's most haunted locations
This sounds like a really
interesting case, man
Sean Casey, he's calling us
in, he owns Church Brew Works
I mean, in the 1900s,
it was a church,
and then a school, and now
it's a brewery and a restaurant
He's been hearing about
and they've been getting
reports of activity in this place
for like three decades
All different claims,
sounds of walking,
and dragging sounds coming
from the upper floors, strange voices
And, you know, the female apparition
has been seen in multiple different places
Steve for Dave and Shari
Go for Dave
You guys ready for this?
I think we're coming up
on this place pretty soon
Copy that
We were just talking about
female apparition in a white dress
and she's seen multiple places,
you know, not just in one spot
Right, it could be any
of the buildings
Yeah and, you know, one of the
reasons that Sean contacted us,
is he's worried about
some of his employees
who are seriously
uncomfortable with being there
So he called us to help him find
out what's really going on there
in the hopes that, you know,
he won't lose some staff
Jay's excited to get started,
I am, too
And, yeah,
let's do this, guys
Absolutely man, I can't wait
to check this place out
TAPS case: Church
Brew Works, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Hey, Sean
- Oh, hey, man
- Jason, right?
- Yes
- Pleasure
- It's a pleasure to meet you
- Steve?
- Sean, it's Steve. Yeah
Hey, welcome to Pittsburgh,
guys
- Thanks for having us
- Yeah, well, thanks for coming
First off, what's the history
of this place?
I can tell it used
to be a church
It was an Irish Catholic
Scottish Church,
it was opened 1902,
closed 1993
And there's a school attached
to the property?
Yeah
So this is actually a complex
In 1907, both the school
and the convent were built
The priests had the rectory
built in 1923
We bought it, early '96
During the church's
extensive renovations into a restaurant,
Sean turned
the attached rectory
into a kitchen
and office space
And the basement of the
schoolhouse into a brewery
But many parts of the
20,000 square foot annex
have remained untouched
for decades
When you were taking this over
from the church to turn into a brewery,
was there anything special
that had to be done?
Before we even stepped foot
in the place,
they had come and removed
some religious statues
Since then, there is more
of a vibe of emptiness
I know that you were talking
about having activity for years
Tell me about the kind of, the
stuff that's been going on here
Employees, maybe for a decade,
I've been aware of things,
our brewer, Matt, actually
had encounters with a girl
- Oh, the lady. The lady in white?
- Yes
The first time I saw her,
I was going up to the office
and as I was walking up the
steps, I saw the girl standing there
She appeared to be in her late
teens or early 20s,
wearing a white dress,
she ran up in front of me
and at the top of the steps she
backed into a dark storage room
Flipped on the light and
she was nowhere to be found
One evening, the apparition
was on the altar
And so, I kind of hustled
over there
and the door to the back of the
schoolhouse was swinging shut
She was nowhere to be found
A different time, I was coming out of
the kitchen into the dining room area,
five feet in front of me,
she was standing there,
and then after a few seconds,
she disappeared in front of me
Gives me chills to this day
I still can't wrap my head
around it
You also have a cook, Wes,
right, who's had experiences?
Wes,
actually calls his thing Bob
Bob is like a trickster
He likes to throw stuff
around
He likes to tug my jacket
Down in the basement
of the kitchen here
tends to have a darker
presence in it
One time I saw what seemed
to be a solid mass in front of me
I literally could hear it
making footsteps
as it was something
that was not natural
Paranormal activity
in the rectory
can also be found on the upper
floor, which is now office space
As I was working,
I noticed the chair directly across
from my desk started to move
It just came to a dead stop
I was scared to death
People you're gonna talk to,
they all say the same thing,
they feel there's a presence
in the school
A lot of the brewers
will be working alone,
they're the ones
that are more apt
to hear giggling, voices,
laughs or rattling
Sometimes they say
they put things down
and they turn around
and they're gone
I was walking through
the schoolhouse,
just doing my rounds,
and I felt a presence of
something that I could not explain
Just kind of got chills
And the church employees
have reported phantom music
from a non-working organ
Disembodied voices and
strange sounds have also occurred
Another incident,
I heard voices
I looked over and that's
when I heard a bang...
right next to me
From that point on, I heard a
knock on every table as I passed by
I know you've talked
about being a skeptic
and now that sort of
has changed,
and you're not really
a skeptic anymore, correct?
Yeah. Well, I have
an engineering degree
So I'm wired like an engineer
sort of like has to be black and white
but I think we're definitely
in a gray area here
Have you experienced anything
yourself being here through the years?
So I actually unplugged
this unit in the brewery,
came back the next day,
thing was plugged back in
I immediately
called the brewer
and I was like, "Hey, did you
turn this thing back on?"
And he was like, "No."
He goes, "But that's
where the ghost hangs out."
At that point,
I got goose bumps
and that's what led to me
emailing you guys at 1:33 at night
- Yep
- What are you hoping that we're able to accomplish
for you
and your employees here?
Some of the people are
probably a little more freaked out
about what's happened
Something's going on here,
man. This isn't normal
So it's about bringing peace
to people and...
Yeah, so maybe that will sort of help
other people be a little more comfortable
Okay
We're gonna set up a tremendous
amount of equipment in here
We're gonna have cameras
everywhere
and we're gonna investigate
this place heavily for many days
And we'll find a lot of that history
that you've been trying to get,
- we'll get that for you
- That'll be fantastic
We're gonna go talk to the
crew, start getting stuff set up
Good luck
Walkie-talkies
- Is this the other one?
- This is the other one
- Hey, hey
- Hey, guys
We just got done talking
with Sean
I mean, there's activity
throughout this entire place
We have a female spirit in white
dress seen all throughout the building
Some male apparition but
more of like a shadow figure
Voices
The list goes on and on
He does have some staff
that are afraid, they really are
One guy actually having,
it was like something was punching
the tables as this guy was walking by it
- Really?
- I mean, that's a little intimidating
There's a lot of ground
to cover in here and...
There is, I mean,
three buildings
I mean, we are gonna have to
probably run as many cameras as we can,
as much audio as we can
How are you guys out here?
The DVR's set up, we just got
to get the cameras inside
All right
Well, let's start doing this
- Ready to crank?
- Yeah, I'm ready for it, man
- Right. Come on, let's do it
- Oh, yeah
When it comes down to a
church, it's such a spiritual place
They tend to have some sort
of paranormal activity
These are very important
places to people as they're living
and a lot of times they retreat
to them after they've passed
The DVR camera
and the thermal camera
getting the first floor
of the original church
In this spot, the gentleman
heard the knocking
They've seen the female apparition
so it's all completely covered
All right, the church
is good to go
Copy that
I'm setting up
this camera right here
as one of the employees
was working one night
and she heard a noise
and looked back
and the chair that was in back of
her moved a couple feet to the right
First floor and second
floor of the schoolhouse is set up
Nice
- We're good to go?
- We are good to go
Camera one, we have
the main church area,
a nice straight shot,
it's covering, you know,
the apparition of the girl, voices,
things moving, banging sounds
Anything comes and goes,
we've got it
We've got it. Camera two,
that's the altar area
That's where
the brew master was,
who followed the girl
into that hallway here
Camera three, that's up in
the office in the rectory building
This is where they saw
a chair move across...
- Slide across the floor
- Which is awesome
Camera four, this is the
opposite side of the church
- on the balcony, just getting the whole floor, so...
- Oh, great
And then we ran wireless cameras
all through the school buildings
These four here were running
total of about 10 to 12 cameras
- I mean, that's good
- That's great
- We have extra coverage everywhere
- Yeah
So you and Shari can start
in the church,
and Steve and I
will take the school
Let's go, lights out
Hello?
You've got some friends here
that have come to talk to you
Jay and Steve heading
into school house
This is where people have seen
a female apparition wearing white
That's right
I'm hearing exactly
what I'm recording right now
Yeah
Is there anyone here who
would like to talk with us?
We'd really like to talk
to you
- After you
- Thank you
So this is Dave and Shari,
Church Brew Works, night one
We are in the main church,
first floor
This is where they see
an apparition of a female
They hear voices,
knocking on tables
I know at one point over here,
the apparition, the female apparition,
just disappeared in front of his eyes
Yeah, and he saw it
quite a few times,
- in different areas of the building
- Right
- Mainly here though
- Yeah
Hello?
Sean and his employees
are a little concerned
I don't think you're doing it
on purpose
but you seem to be scaring
them
You won't scare us...
so if you wanna come out
and talk to us,
we won't run away,
we'll come towards you
And we can all figure this out
together
Hello?
I keep on hearing
what sounds like footsteps
and you're hearing it
through this
Oh, yeah
Take a listen to this
You can hear something
in playback
It sounds like
something's walking
I hear it already
- All right, so I'm not losing my mind, you hear it
- No, I did hear that
I heard it instantly, too
That's why I kept on stopping and
looking, make sure you weren't moving
All right
- And there was a sound of female
- Wow
And they're already
female voices
Already!
I mean, we barely started
Does anyone here
would like to talk with us?
Did we just hear a woman
talking to us?
Did you go to school here?
- That walking is louder here
- Really?
- Oh, yeah. Big time
- Wow
And we're on concrete
Oh, you know what?
Steve, it's...
This is no joke,
take a listen
- That was right upstairs
- That was
- That was right upstairs
- Wow
That sounded like somebody
walking to come find us
Okay, so this is the altar
area
This is still in the first
floor of the brewery
and this is where Matt,
the brew master, is another,
he saw the girl again...
and he followed her
all the way through this door
So he saw her actually
running in here
and then she just disappeared,
wow
So it seems like she's always
appearing in front of the same guy
and then looking at him
and then kind of walking away
- And she acknowledges him. So she's intelligent
- Right
Are you here? Can you hear us?
Check this equipment first
while we're in here
0.6
2.3, nothing crazy
I can hear walking
standing right here
I mean, just stand right here
You're gonna be able to hear
because it's gonna be amplified
- Okay
- Just keep on listening
Yep. Told you
I don't know what it is,
but it's something
It's like
shuffling over here, wow
Holy crap,
it just keeps going
It's a whole other set of
stairs, it goes up again
I don't know where
the sound came from
If it came from above,
I'm here or on that floor
I say we try going up
Found all the school chairs
There's all the school chairs,
look
- Hey, Jay
- Lost village there
Look at all
the names and stuff
Oh, yeah
Like they, look, like old,
written with chalk
1958, it says
You think
those are school children?
Sister M.M
Carole and Danny, '72
I wonder if one of these names
could be
that female apparition
that's been seen
Yeah
So Wes was walking by...
and he heard what sounded
like banging sounds,
like just like...
And he'd walk and like
what's going on, then...
And it keeps going, keeps
going, each table he walked past...
- Made that noise?
- It was a knocking sound
- Like that's intimidating, it is intimidating
- Right, that would...
- That was like hey!
- Yeah
But if you can hit a table,
why not just hit him? And like...
Like with that much energy,
I would think that...
It doesn't make
that much sense
Does it sound like knocking
at all?
- No. No
- No?
No. I mean, I just hear your
feet, I don't hear anything like...
We're looking for you
Just to say hi
We do have machines
in our hands
One is a recorder where you
can speak as loud as you can...
and Dave can try to hear you
You can either appear
and we can follow you
or you can make some noises for
us and we will go towards that noise
What was that?
- Where'd that come from?
- Sounded like that, like in that corner
- Really? Right there?
- Yeah
You can make
some noises for us
and we will go towards
that noise
What was that?
Where did that come from?
Sounded like that,
like in that corner
- Really? Right there?
- Yeah
That sounded deliberate
Can you please do that again
so we know that was you?
- Let's go towards where that sound came from
- Okay
So did it sound like it
was something like, falling,
or like a table
being banged like...
It was almost like...
No, it was like...
- Let me see the flashlight
- Yeah, or the thud
- Right
- You know?
We're in the area,
we heard the sound
So if that was you trying to
get our attention, here we are
Again, I have a recorder
that can record your voice
Well, it seems they have gone
Let's go check in
with Jay and Steve
Okay
- Hey, guys
- Hey, guys
Hey, how'd it go?
- It was good. It was a little quiet
- Yeah
Tomorrow you guys are gonna
have to get over to the schoolhouse
because it was active
from the second we got here
It was walking and we'd be
standing still and you heard voices
- Really?
- I mean, one point it almost sounded like
- a little female voice
- Wow
Tomorrow, maybe you guys
can find a local historian
- Let's see what information you guys can get on that
- It'd be perfect actually
Absolutely
If you could get some real,
you know,
factual history
of what happened here
If anybody died, you know,
records of the building, everything
- Everything we can find
- You know, it will give us a lot of ammunition
that we can
use the rest of the week
It always helps. Always helps
- Cameras are all up, it's rolling
- It is rolling, yep
- So we'll get cranking tomorrow with the research
- All right
And now, listen to this
- You can hear it, for sure
- It's female
Yeah, it's definitely female
As Steve and I review our
evidence from last night's investigation...
Dave and Shari
have arranged a meeting
with local historian,
James Wudarczyck...
- Hi
- Hi, James
...to learn more about the
property and surrounding area
Thanks so much for coming
Thanks for the invitation
So we're hoping
you can tell us,
give us some background
of the area
The community is very old
It dates back to 1814
What was here before
this church?
At the time
of the American Civil War,
this would have been
Iron City Park
and it was nothing
more than some farmland
Do you know of any deaths,
especially young women or young
girls that happened on this property?
- On this exact spot, no
- Okay
But there is a girl
that is affiliated
with Saint John, the Baptist
Roman Catholic Church
- Okay
- And her name was Marcella Helena Day
We do see that Marcella Day
shows up as a student
here at Saint John,
The Baptist School
And she was an active member
of this church
Her death took place
on October 19th, 1918
And if you look at this obituary,
she died from pneumonia
And poor Marcella
is only 18 years of age
Oh, my God
She was so young, I can't
imagine how scary that was for her
It all corresponds with
the great Spanish influenza
- Okay
- And the influenza, when it morphs,
actually morphs into a bacterial
pneumonia, which is extremely deadly
How sad
Being that she was active
in this church,
would you assume that her
funeral would be held here?
- Most likely, it was
- Wow
Okay. I mean, this is all
great information you gave us
Thank you so much, again
Thank you very much
for having me
Based on Shari
and Dave's findings,
we're heading into tonight's
investigation with the name Marcella Day
There's a strong possibility that
she could be the female apparition
that's been encountered here
numerous times
- We good to go?
- Yeah, we're good, man
- We were in the school house last night
- Yep
Why don't you and Shari
head in there tonight
- to start off?
- Oh, yeah
- Steve and I will take the church
- Right
- Will do. Sounds good
- We'll catch you in a few
It's heading to the rectory
- and...
- It's the rectory area but also the kitchen
This is where the chef says his coat
gets tugged by an entity he calls Bob
And this is also where they've
seen objects get thrown around
This thing in walking and this thing
being thrown up against the wall
- This isn't just gonna roll off of here
- No
I mean, if that happened, I can't
give you any explanation for it
Hello?
- Steve
- Yeah
One of the swinging doors just made
that sound, like it did when you came in
- You didn't just here that?
- No
Could have been wind?
But it's that's what I heard
but I didn't hear the closing part
All right
Just keep your ears open
again, see if it happens
What's back here?
- I heard it. I heard it
- All right, so you heard that
- I heard it that time. Yes, I did
- Told you
God, this floor's slippery
That's that door
opening sound
Yep, I heard it
There. Just happened again
What?
- I heard it. I heard it
- All right, so you heard that
- I heard it that time
- That's that door opening sound
- There. Just happened again
- What?
So listen to these doors
Because when that just happened
suddenly it came from back here
Really?
I told you
So where's it coming from?
We were just there
and it was coming from here
Now we're here,
it's coming from there
First floor
Here we are
I know Jay and Steve, they
had a lot of things happen,
they heard a voice, they heard
the footsteps, which is a claim
Right
Marcella Day, we're sorry
you died so young from the Spanish flu
Is there anything
you wanna tell us?
Jay and Steve in the rectory,
second floor
So this is gonna be
where the priest lived
Here's the office where
that chair moved by itself
I mean, the chair's sliding
across the floor
It doesn't take much
to move this chair
I mean, is it paranormal?
Is it not?
Really can't tell
at this point
- So...
- Yeah
Oh, Steve
- Oh, my gosh
- That's the schoolhouse here
They're all in white dresses
That would explain
the girl in the white dress
Holy cow
But which one of them
has been seen here?
Now I wonder
why is she still here
Did she love it here?
Or did something bad happen
to her?
So you mean,
traumatic experience
- Right
- Residual type thing
I don't know,
that's a tough one
- Nobody looks happy
- No
There's nobody
in that picture smiling
Marcella?
We just wanted to say hello
So Shari and I,
we're on the second floor
Jay and Steve heard something
that sounded like footsteps
coming from up here
on night one
If there is anybody here
with us...
can you make your presence
known?
Marcella Day, we know
you went to school here
These buildings must have been
really important to you
Can you let us know
if you're here?
Jay and Steve
- We have a basement
- Yeah
- Wow
- Oh, my!
- All right, be careful on these stairs
- Yep
This is just like
a can of worms in here
Wow
All right, so we're coming
to the front of the church
There's walking,
coming from above us
- Yep
- Wait a second
Near the altar
- Jay to Dave
- Go for Dave
Hey, you guys are
in the schoolhouse, right?
Correct
All right, so that means,
nobody's in the church, correct?
Correct
I would like to get
to where the altar is
Yeah. Let's head back
What? You...
- What?
- What?
- You blew in my ear?
- I didn't blow in your ear
Jay, something just blew
like crazy in my ear
- What?
- I swear to God
Something just blew,
like crazy in my ear
- What?
- I swear to God
I mean, I don't know what
to make of that, honestly
It's so bizarre,
it doesn't even make sense
Oh, there's footsteps again
Oh, man, no way. What the...
Let's head up there
and check it out
All that in the crawl space
What was that?
- All right, you heard that
- I did. 100 percent heard it
It sounded hollow,
it sounded like...
I had this camera rolling
that way, too
- What?
- There it was again, you heard that?
Hello?
I wonder what's going
on over there
They're having activity
I think we need to sit down
You should go through some of that
audio that we got under the church
Okay, we'll have a seat
right here
All right. The way we'll still
see anything going on
- I heard a voice
- What?
I did, yeah
Was it at the same time
you had the blow in...
No
The blow hasn't happened yet
- So was it a female or a male voice?
- Male
It... And I swear, it kind of
sounds like it said, "Jesus."
Yep. Yeah, it says, "Jesus."
It's a voice says, "Jesus."
In here, Jay
I gotta hear that
I gotta hear it
- Jesus. Jesus
- Right?
I mean, that's the true sense
of an EVP
We didn't hear it
with our ears,
it only came through
the electronics
- We're at church, you expect to hear "Jesus."
- Yeah
But you don't expect to hear "Jesus"
when you're in an empty church
We've captured
intriguing evidence so far
but need to still figure out
who's behind the activity
Our historian led us to a
church member, Marcella Day,
who passed away
during the 1918 flu pandemic
but we've yet to get
any response from her
Steve and I are doing further
research on Iron City Park,
the area on which the church
complex was built,
to see if we can find
a new lead
I've come across
an article here...
that says that a woman
named Maria Houston
was killed by her husband,
Sergeant Michael Houston,
and it says here that
he shot her in 1864
in an accidental shooting
- Oh, yeah, he was drunk, huh?
- Yep
But she was murdered, whether
he was charged for it or not
So that's where
the church stands now
Mm-hm
It was a park at the time
So we have at least one
confirmed death on the property
And that gives us a name that
we can at least work with tonight
It sure does
Tonight, we'll
reach out to Maria Houston
who was murdered
on the property
and keep trying to make
contact with Marcella Day,
who passed away
from the Spanish flu,
to see if either connects us to a
female voice and apparition seen here
You and James
were on this first floor,
you guys had a bunch
of experiences, right?
We were, yeah,
we were actually right there
That was right upstairs
And it literally sounded like people
were coming out of a classroom
- Like a residual sound
- I mean, I...
Was it upstairs?
We thought we heard
something up here
Marcella?
Maria Houston, are you here?
Maria?
Mrs. Houston?
Steve, I'm having a weird
feeling, like there's something there
Kind of looks like
a children's playhouse
Set up the laser grid
and the GS2
It's a good idea
I heard a whistle, a slam,
- and a voice, all in a row
- I heard it, too
Hello?
Let me get the laser
- Set up here
- Here we go
Thank you. Thank you
This is a brand new
GS2 laser grid
Not only will it tell us if
anything moves in front of it
but it will tell us
how big the anomaly is
and it also has temperature
Maria, if you're here, do you
remember what happened?
Sorry that you were shot
by your husband
Are you the female that's
been seen in these buildings?
This was a school at one
point, a religious school, Catholic
It's picking something up
It's coming closer
Were you here
when this was a school?
The temperature
is fluctuating
70 to 52 degrees
- 70 to 52?
- Yep
We just like to understand
why you're still here?
It's gradually getting
more solid
It's gradually
becoming larger, too
- Maybe it's getting ready to do something
- Maybe it is
Using the energy
in the atmosphere
- Oh, maybe it is, Dave
- Yeah
Maybe it is
- Maybe it's getting ready to do something
- Maybe, it is
Using the energy
in the atmosphere
- Oh, maybe it is, Dave
- Yeah
Maybe, it is
What do you make of that?
Maria Houston, was that you?
Man, that was like a crash
- Yeah. But nothing fell
- Nothing fell
We got a lot to think
about in this place
Regardless that whole
temperature change,
went from a little spot
to a whole area
- Hey, Steve
- Go for Steve
We've done
a solid investigation
Let's call it
and go through our evidence
Copy that
When you take
all of our experiences,
I think that could be
a layered haunting,
where there are some residual
things from when it was the church,
like the footsteps
we captured in the school
One thing that's interesting
is our GS2 laser grid
was only interacting with us
when we brought up Catholicism,
which shows signs of an
intelligent haunting as well
So we have to take that
into consideration
All right
Well, here we are, man
Yep, let's go fill them in
Hey, Sean
Thanks for coming back
All right, Jason, Steve,
great to see you guys again
This place was so cool
Oh, yeah, it's some great
craftsmanship, man
- They knew how to do it 110 years ago
- They did
So we found out some really, really cool
stuff about the history of the building
We're trying to find any information
about the possible girl in white
There's a lady
named Marcella Day
and in 1918, she actually
died of the Spanish flu
Like a Parishioner
Yeah, she was a big part
of the church
She also attended the school
- So she was attached to it
- Okay
So she was probably
laid to rest here
Yeah. She could be your woman
in white
Of course, this building sits
on what used to be a park
In the 1800s, a woman named Maria
Houston was shot and killed by her husband
- In this park?
- Yep
So Steve and I headed into the schoolhouse
building, we did hear a female voice
We heard footsteps happening
on the second floor
It was neat to have
those experiences
because it helps back up
a lot of the claims
that some of your employees
have had
Yeah, and honestly, there's a common
refrain of steps on that second floor
And there's people
that simply won't go up there
We'll play that female voice
that happened really quick
while we're on the main floor
of the schoolhouse building
Whoa! There's a distant voice
in the background
Yeah. Female voice
We think she's saying,
"Inside."
Make sure you aren't moving
And then
when we were in the church,
we caught a voice that sounded
like it may have said a certain word
Yeah
Sounds like, "Jesus."
Yeah, but like whispering it
Yep. Yeah, it says, "Jesus."
Yeah, that's pretty weird,
man
At one point, Tango and I, we
made our way all the way upstairs
to what we think is a
children's playhouse of sorts
And we had what we call
a GS2 laser grid
It's a laser grid that will
show you anything with mass
that moves in front of it, the
temperature and everything
And while we had that set up,
we noticed a significant temperature
drop right in front of that device
You know, we've definitely had
our brewers talk about walking,
having temperature changes,
it's consistent, for sure
And then all of a sudden,
while we're investigating,
we're doing some call
and response
but we heard a whistle, like
something trying to get our attention,
then we heard a loud crashing or
bang sound and then I heard a voice
And we'd like to play
that for you
Oh, yeah
I mean, it almost sounds
like someone calling
It can totally be like, "Hey."
You know, that attic
proved to be pretty intense
Yeah, that was the old,
that was the stage
where they did lots
of performances
and it was also
far in the cafeteria
So I mean, that had heavy,
heavy traffic
There seems to be
a layered haunting
You may have different phenomena
happening from different eras of time
and intelligent stuff
happening
But I don't think anybody
has any reasons to be fearful
With this particular haunting,
it seems that it's of the
living environment,
people that were once alive
who are now passed so...
- Who have a connection to this property
- Yeah
It could be
a loving connection,
it doesn't have
to be something scary
- That's gonna be a comfort for some people for sure
- Yeah
Thank you for having us out
You need anything,
we're only a call away
All right. Thanks, Jason
Thanks, Steven
Thanks so much
I gotta admit,
it was pretty wild
They confirmed things that we
know have been happening here
and it's not really anything
fearful,
that's comforting to me
and I think it's gonna be comforting
for a lot of our employees here
Well, man
I think that went great
I think it did, too
Everybody had experiences
We were able to figure
some things out
We got some good evidence,
we helped our clients
That's what
it's all about, man
Just trying to help out
to the best of our abilities
This was a win-win case
Absolutely, man
On to the next, brother
