Documenting the unexplained across Kansas City and the Midwest. Seeking truth in the static.
Case Files
William Jewell College
For over 175 years, William Jewell College has kept a careful watch over the hilltop community of Liberty, Missouri. The Garnett M. Peters Theater, nestled inside Brown Hall, carries its own thread of that long history: a place where human emotion has been poured into the walls each performance, season after season.
Many believe that kind of energy doesn't simply vanish. And in this episode, it seems intent on proving that.
If you're new here, start with Episode 1 and follow along as we explore one of Missouri's most historic colleges.
The Thomas Building
For over 150 years, the Thomas Building has been a mainstay location in downtown Leavenworth, Kansas. For generations, it thrived as a hub for small businesses, offices, and private apartments. It was in one of those old apartments that a former tenant apparently spent his time quietly searching for answers to the mysteries of the universe. He collected issues of #paranormal magazines, wrote essays and fiction about the metaphysical world, and sought out secret information through mail-order services and esoteric teachings.
In our team's final session of the night, we performed the #EstesMethod in an attempt to make direct contact with a past inhabitant. And in the process, we might have encountered an unusual test meant to measure our skills as investigators.
Belvoir Winery
The Fraternal Order of Odd Fellows bought the Winner Hotel in 1894, and began work on what would come to be known as the Odd Fellows Home in 1900. The compound includes a former hospital, nursing home, and palliative care unit, all of which have been abandoned for decades. Only the former administration/orphanage building remains in use as the beautiful and atmospheric Belvoir Winery and Inn, a hotspot destination for weddings, special events, and paranormal experiences!
