Final Investigation of 2024
Mysterious Monroe House
Saturday
November 30th
Overnight investigation starting at 7:30pm
"Indiana's Monroe House is a place of mystery, darkness, and strange occurrences. Its reputation for occult rituals and violent paranormal activity has sent visiting investigators running off into the night. The discovery of human bones in the basement, whose identity remains unexplained to this day, may hold some of the answers. But the Monroe House holds its secrets close and has been known to lash out at those who spend time within its walls."

"The history of Monroe House is murky, at best. Records say that the first foundation was laid for the house in the 1860s, while legends maintain that the house has had an ominous atmosphere since the beginning. Occupants were chased from the house by strange sights, sounds, and shadowy figures that made their lives unbearable. Truth or fiction? No one surviving can say, but records do say that no one lived in the house for more than a year at a time during its first century in existence. In the 1990s, rumors spread of occult activity in the place, which some believe caused an increase in strange activity.
But whatever the reason behind the hauntings, there is one thing that nearly all of those who have investigated the building can agree on – there are some serious disturbances in the basement. In 2016, during the "Paranormal Lockdown" episode, human remains were discovered in the basement crawlspace, launching an official police investigation. According to a local funeral home director, the remains were "at least 100 years old," but they were sent away to an Indiana University for further testing. At this point, the identity of the person who was entombed in the "Demon House" basement remains unknown. Could they explain the frightening activity that has been experienced in the basement?
Many believe so, while others don't care – they aren't going back into the house! In 2014, a team of ghost hunters fled the house after a horrific experience in the basement that they refused to talk about. Everyone in the group panicked and ran out of the house, refusing to go back inside. Other groups have recorded eerie voices in the basement, while others maintain that the rest of the house is just as haunted and terrifying."
