I’m rather positive that I would have loved history and actually retained information if you had been my high school history teacher. You have this way of presenting information in a way that makes whatever the topic is very interesting and engages people and helps them remember what you spoke about. That’s a talent that can’t be taught!
I think that what she does is to make the people come alive. When I was in school, history was nothing but dry dates and names, not people. It's the people that makes history interesting.
She has definitely found her calling/gift her purpose in life. To be so lucky I unfortunately am not in that regard but am very lucky to have found her channel. She has even from the very beginning been like and old friend. Soothing and comforting voice is rare but also to make her words my visuals is spectacular. Truly amazing lady!
“I don’t know about your children but mine don’t look like woodchucks” ... “I would’ve thrown myself down the hill & rolled all the way home screaming” i needed those laughs
Do you ever come across ghosts that aren’t bad? We grew up in a “haunted” house but we never had bad things happen to us. However, my brother was renovating a part of the house and they had sheets of glass on a table. His friend, made a crude remark about one of us (there were three girls) and my brother walked away while telling him not to say things like that. My brothers friend was on a ladder and he swears a sheet of glass flew directly at him. My brother ran back into to room and had to take his friend to the hospital to get stitches. Everyone there that day swears there was no one near the glass. Soon, it became clear that no one should speak in a disrespectful way about any of us. Not even joking! I love that house to this day! We have a lot of stories to tell!
My mom said we had a benevolent ghost in the very old farmhouse we moved to when I started high school. No sightings... but my mother could feel the spirit.
I have!! My childhood home was haunted by a 15 year old boy who hung himself, and he would come into my doorway and just watch me at night. He never came any closer than the doorway, as if not wanting to frighten me. My dad heard him walking around throughout the day when home alone. He was just a curious, almost protective-like young man and never caused any trouble. One of the buildings at my school is also haunted, I’ve discovered. I recently saw a man in a suit peeking in on my lecture. Every time I went to fully look at him, he ducked behind the doorway. I finally caught a full look at him, though. He’s just a curious guy, probably just wondering what we’re doing. My grandparents’ house though? They have something dark there.
The house we lived in during the mid-to-late 70s was haunted. It was a fairly new, probably 5 or 6 years old when we moved in, but there had allegedly been a farmhouse there at one time. We stayed there the longest - about 2 years, nobody else lasted more than 6 months. My brother absolutely refused to sleep in his bed the entire time we lived there because, as he told our parents "Those kids won't leave me alone." The only person who never saw anything weird was my father. My mother told me recently that one of the reasons we moved out of state was because of the ghosts (the other was because the neighbors were mobsters from Philly).
I’m not trying to discredit any other true crime youtuber, but these others that have 2M+ subscribers just do not compare to you. You work so hard and deliver the most accurate info, multiple times I have caught them with incorrect info and I’m like 👀. I just love you lol and I love how truly hard you work for us.
As much as I am convinced that each true crime youtuber has their own charm, stephanie's has a special place in my heart. In her way she makes me feel closer to the people she talks about, and i love her delivery and her story telling. Most of all, her research as you said is amazing.
@@hana__banana I totally agree! And they do have their own charm, like when Kendall or Bailey upload a video, best believe I’m still going to be there. But, as you said, Stephanie just has a special place in my heart.
@@StephanieHarlowe watching this in the morning was the best decision I've made recently. I think what chilled me the most was them trying to live a normal day by eating chips and watching movies while everything was going down 😨😨
I’ve been in love with true crime for a few years now and you’re the only person I’ve hardcore stuck with. Keep up the good work! It’s really appreciated
I'm half Creek and I really appreciate the way you handled the historical part of this story. I realize I'm late to the game, but I'm really glad I found this channel. I love history and again, I appreciate the time you took to clarify about the Iroquois Confederation etc.
It's why I'm here. Dive deep or don't bother. I work alone in the super early morning because Covid. Entire shifts are spent listening to these stories. The lil ten minute overviews are useless to me. Was also listening to the lights out podcast but those guys are super doofy and it's distracting. Stephanie is actually a good storyteller and must dedicate a frankly amazing amount of time to research. There are cases I've followed for like 15 years and learn something new from these vids. Also small details everyone gets wrong, she gets right.
@@edwardzignot2681 If you haven't watched it yet, I'd totally recommend her series on the Manson Family! I believe it's her longest and most in-depth analysis of a case/event.
@@edwardzignot2681 Hi if you like the deeper dives, I have several channels to recommend to you. I have included also channels that are more along the lines of investigative/forensic analysis as well as the straight storytelling type of content like Stephanie does. I really hope you give these a try: 1. Eleanor Neale (a fellow Brit who does story narration like stephanie) 2. True Crime Rocket Science (investigative/analysis) 3. It's a Crime (investigative/analysis) 4. Georgia Marie (story narration. he also does history as well as true crime) 5. Danelle Hallan (story narration) 6. Dr Todd Grande (psychology/mental health of criminals - he's a psychologst) 7. Plunder (investigative) 8. That Chapter (story narration) 9. Criminally Listed (story narration) 10. Annielytics (analysis - she's the aunt of Tylee Ryan) 11. Cold Podcast (absolutely the definitive researcher on the Susan Smith case, he even has access to information others don't and has interviewed LE officers that were involved in the case). 12.JCS Psychology (analysis/body language). Have you any true crime/forensic analysis channels that you can recommend?
You should do something with Caitlin Doughty - Ask a mortician. She’s absolutely awesome and made me way more comfortable with being worried about my (extremely likely) early death. Maybe even an idea for next Harloween
Dude, poor Clara. My heart breaks for this woman. All she wanted was to move her family out to the countryside that they loved, only to have it backfire in her face. She went through hell in this house and it's only part one?! 😳
I know, right? This poor family!!! I wish I could tell this family that I’m so sorry for what they went through! And also, I’m not gonna lie, I would LOVE to be able to talk to them. If they were s alive, that is.
Yeah, it's a spooky story that made the woman rich...don't worry about it. I'm half expecting the Warren's to show up in part two and say: oh yeah, you have a demon in the house...in a matter of factly way. And then a Hollywood movie gets made about it too, lol!
“I would have thrown myself down that hill. Home. Screaming all the way.” I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard at a Harlowe video. But, it was because I would have done the same exact thing! 😂😂😂
The only difference I'm aware of is that many tribes believe disturbing their graves disrupts the dead and bad things can happen. Said bad things seem to differ depending on the tribe and how/why the grave was disturbed.
The father: "I feel there's an evil presence in the house and I don't want to go home anymore. I'll just leave my wife and kids handle the situation alone. Yeah, sounds like a solid plan."
I haven’t found that one yet! But this one is plenty scary! I was watching it at bedtime last night and it was freaking me out so I stopped and am finishing it today.
I actually just left this house! We stopped off on a trip through Hinsdale and figured we could stop by to take some pictures. Similar to Clara, we also saw a deer that crossed the road near the house and it's broad daylight! This video is the first one we pulled up to get a full story of this house after leaving. We are listening now on our trip and I'm so glad we found your video! How interesting! (And creepy) Lol We may schedule an actual tour soon. Thanks so much!
Only reason I can think of why they didn't is that snow reduces vastly in volume when melted so they would need to make many more trips to get enough snow vs getting water from the well? I thought the same thing at first too 😂
Hi Stephanie. That #1 best seller book, called The Bible, definetly says there is life after death.😊 I found you recently and enjoy you very much. I love the theme song while you pour your coffee.
Worlds colliding! This is my first Harloween, and I'm so excited you're covering paranormal stories, this is so exciting. Watching part 2 straight away. 💕
The most terrifying part of this story so far for me is the way my heart pounds in my chest whenever you mention one of their animals and I'm praying that it hasn't been found killed by "something" when the family are wandering around the property at night 💔😿💔
I’be seen those flying light UFO’s once while camping on a Native Reserve Island. After speaking to multiple locals, I’ve learned that everyone has seen multiple spotting a of these hovering bright lights. The evening we saw them, we kept on hearing massive sounding thunder/ drum beats coming from the ground. We thought it was weird but didn’t focus on it but now I feel it’s more significant. We also felt we were being watched and interacted with.... our music would come off, no biggie, but it would suddenly turn back on at very significant moment like us saying “I love you, you’re my soulmate” and suddenly a song with lyrics “I love you you’re my soulmate” would come on! All night after seeing the lights! It’s worth mentioning, seeing the lights was super scary, but the vibe after that was very happy and full of love if that makes sense..... it’s the energy around us was being controlled. It’s was actually pretty amazing.... A year later, I was thinking about that event very intensely, and felt actually a bit sad that I might never see something like that again, I felt thankful that I got to experience it. Then, five minutes later, I saw a UFO, the same looking but smaller, right above me while driving on the highway!!!!!! I have no explanation for these types of events but at this point, it feels silly to deny any of it.
@Stephanie Harlowe I’m not a follower of this stuff, but TODAY I was so excited to see that YOU did a video on it! My son (44 years old) is on his way there right NOW. I looked for “history of Hinsdale House” and shared the video right away, so they could listen to it on their way there. I’m mainly concerned because of the Indian Lore associated with it. I hope they listen, and thank you, I love your channel!
This house is in my hometown and the typical Friday night thing to do was get drunk on Four Lokos and see if we could conjure any ghosts. It’d usually end with my friends and I just being teenage idiots and scaring ourselves but a few times we’d look back on pictures and videos we took and there’d be some huge unexplained orbs and strange shadows that made no sense given the lighting. One particular night we heard really loud guttural sounds that were almost like a mix of screams and growls. We all agreed to chalk it up to “coyotes” even though we knew that wasn’t it. We never went back after that night lol. Super cool to see one of my favorite creators cover my sleepy town 😊
My heart jumped when you talked about the sound of a woman's scream in the woods. I grew up in the mountains and we often heard this. I was warned that it is a panther and to NEVER go looking! They could also sound like a baby crying. It is an eerie thing to hear.
I currently live in the rural TN mtns and have lived in the foothills of the Appalachian mtns in Alabama; I can attest that the sound of a panther screaming in the middle of the night will wake you up from a dead sleep. It sounds like a woman screaming. For the other commenter, lain, where I’m from we use the terms ‘cougar’, ‘panther’ and ‘mountain lion’ interchangeably. We just mean whatever what local wild cat that is bigger than a bobcat.
I just wanna say I can always count on u to not only completely entertain with your videos, but also give probably the most comprehensive coverage of these stories that you can find on RUclips. I almost didn’t watch the Salem one Cos I thought I knew all there was to know but I ended up learning a lot and was still thoroughly entertained hearing you recant the stories I already knew.
I’m never a “why didn’t they...” type of person. But this is one of the few cases where I’m really thinking WHY DIDNT THEY LEAVE?! With everything happening what was the reason of staying? Sell the house and leave. Or abandon the house. Like the people from the “watcher house”. At least in that example it was just letters. This family damn near died a few times and wouldn’t leave.
I know, right? To be fair, they probably didn't have the money. The family from the Watcher House at least had enough (did you see how big that house was? They weren't exactly scrapping the bottom of the money barrel) to go somewhere else. This one? Not really. Especially since hubby-dearest wasn't doing squat.
I imagine with the normal chaos of day to day life it's easy to convince yourself things are fine and not that bad. We're hearing all about the bad things that happened condensed but they experienced it more spread out and real time. We're not experiencing their work/school days, social lives, housework, general life or their good days that was mixed with these events.
Man I can handle anything horror, creepy and down right terrifying but the SECOND a doll is involved I turn back into the 6 year old who thought she was so cool and tough enough to watch Child’s Play with my older brother. I still have nightmares
@@PhancyPants12 girl same! My daughter has a collection of porcelain dolls. Most I have no idea where they came from because my daughter's grandfather on her dad's side gave them to my daughter and they were probably stolen knowing him however they are so creepy! My daughter has had dolls that talked and I hated them because of that damn movie🤣
@@brownsuga10282 I used to have a porcelain marionette clown doll that stood on a pedestal. On a few occasions, I would put it out as decoration and then I would find it inside a cabinet later when I noticed it was gone and went looking for it. It was a little creepy to me until I talked it over with my husband. He said he thought the clown was scary and would "put it away" so he didn't have to look at it. 😂
Giiiiirl for a few days ive been like: "is Stephanie ok? She hasn't posted ... 🤷♀️.. " I wasn't angry or upset I was legit worried so this is a double blessing cause now I get to hear and new video as well!
You know the content’s good when you’re walking around your house turning more lights on because you’re scared, BUT turning up the volume before you do so. 😅🤣
as a buffalonian who grew up in the south, it's always comforting to hear another upstate/western ny accent ! glad to take part in harloween this year !
The Skinwalker Ranch video was fascinating. The map in the background is so cool! Thanks for the video. In the Cemetary in my hometown in England, there is an Anglo-Saxon tombstone over 1000 years old! It is very ornate even now.
You are the absolute BEST storyteller on RUclips. You portray the cast of characters in such a vivid way, I can imagine myself there, seeing the events unfold in real life. You are so intelligent, eloquent and classy and I am so happy it's Harloween 🎃👻👽💀
I ordered Racons based on your and your son’s recommendation, and I have to say I LOVE THEM!!! It is the first pair of ear buds that are comfortable and fit my ears. Thank you so much!
This is right in where I live and work !!!!! How am I just seeing this !! I’m in shock that I’m a fan of Stephanie and never knew we were only 30 mins apart and this true crime is right near me !!
Fabulous. Why did I watch this? I'm currently staying alone with just my dog in an old stone house in Brittany, where literally every night is a dark and stormy night. Listening to this getting completely creeped out and then my normally placid dog decides he hears something outside and starts barking like a maniac. Thank you, Stephanie - now I don't have to worry about COVID because I'm dead from a heart attack. 😱😂
Listening to this while walking on a trail, got to the part with the singing and chanting in the woods on the hill near the campgrounds. There are woods to my left and right, no one on this trail and Stephanie starts playing the Gregorian chant. I hear it in the background thru my earphones. I freaked out thinking I’m hearing it for real in the woods. TOO EFFING REAL! But that’s why we’re here right??? Scared ✅ 🥺 job well done Stephanie ❤️❤️❤️
Or a fisher cat- those are also freaky sounding animals. Most likely not this but: when we moved into our house in backwoods Kentucky, the first night, my mom and I are sitting on the porch and we hear someone screaming- and then someone else screaming. My mom goes inside and grabs my dad and tells him it sounds like a woman is being murdered. He comes out and listens, and he agrees, there's definitely two distinct voices screaming, at different pitches, but it was going on for too long, and too sustained for that to be what it was, so we didn't need to worry about it and he went to bed...so we did too. The next day we met our new neighbors who were very casual about "oh by the way, did you hear something that sounds like some people being murdered? Don't worry about it, the neighbor has peacocks, and its mating season". Sure enough, a few days later we go to see all the peacocks on this abandoned house. I assume they were still be cared for, but it was wacky driving home every day and just seeing this clearly abandoned and beat to hell old house, with beautiful peacocks all over it, the roof, the grounds, etc. There was at least 18 of them.
Honestly, it's the little things, like acknowledging historical discrepancies...and posting part two quickly after part one 🥺 Honestly if Mrs. Harlowe ever wants to do an episode on witchcraft I would LOVE to help out! I know Harloween is probably all planned out but I think it would be funky
Hi Steph! I know you're super busy, but this is kind of an urgent matter. A few weeks ago you did a case on south africa, after which so many people commented about maybe you looking into farm murders. Since then things have kind of gotten out of hand. Today (16 October) there is a hearing for the murderers of a 20 year old man called Brendin Horner. He was attacked on his way home one night (about two weeks ago), in his autopsy they saw that his hands were broken from fighting back. He was mutilated, and it was over kill. He's one of so so many cases, and out government & president are covering it up. I mean they've cut off parents achilles heals, and then forced them to watch as their babies are raped and tortured to death. It's not just random crime. It's so violent and gruesome, that it's really scary. It's targeted to farmers and their workers, and it's people of all races not just white people like so many believe. The news didn't report on this, but after everything that happened in Senekal (where Brendin's case takes place) that farmers near there woke up this week to ALL of their sheep dead, because their water was poisoned. These people lost thousands of innocent animals because they're finally standing up and want to see who murdered Brendin. My dad also told me about a farmer that won his case of land repropriation without compensation, and the people who lost the case out of who knows what decided that burning down the farmers storages, home and other buildings, as well as cutting down one of the biggest macadamia farmers in our country. This farmer lost his entire livelihood, and now his land has lost so much of its value. It's so bad that tonight on the news (they hardly ever report on farm murders) they reported that farmers are taking Krav Magar (israeli defence technique taught in the military) so that they could be able to protect themselves and their employees. Which is a good thing that they're taking their safety into their own hands because the police don't have the means to always respond quickly. Now the government is saying that not only are farm murders not real (untrue), they're also saying that they're monitoring the farmers for possible terrorist attacks. Like these people just want to live. I know families that all sleep in the same room at night and lock themselves inside before the sun goes down just to protect themselves, while the parents each sleep with guns next to them. These people also can't leave their tractors, animals, vehicles or any other types of possessions outside because they will be stolen. It would mean so much for our country if you could help raise awareness, because if this doesn't stop the agricultural sector of South Africa will die off and there will not be any fresh produce and our economy will fail.
One of my husband's friends lived in SA for a few years and married a woman from SA. They have their own YT channel and talked about the farm murders. They had so many people commenting hate and accusing them of lying because they acknowledged that the farm murders are really happening. That happens to anyone who posts about the farm murders. Even worse is seeing comments praising the murders and justifying them. I work in agriculture in the US and my heart breaks for SA 😢
This is extremely disturbing and so scary I hope this does get more attention I had no idea about any of this thank you and again I hope it does get some more attention so people will be aware
@@BeccaE I've seen people all over social media try to bring awareness about this and they always get hate comments, accused of spreading a conspiracy, or worse, people who support the farm murders.
@@udderlylost1178 i've this happen so many times. People don't want to acknowledge it because our government has turned it into a racial thing. It's a taboo to talk about farm murders because the government wants to expropriate land without compensation, and if it looks like farmers are being targeted they could have so many more problems than they already do. It's really sad and scary. Cause some people I know have to teach their kids who are younger than 10 how to handle firearms in the case that their parents are attacked.
You are the absolute queen of many things....including adjectives & adverbs, makes for such an amazing storyteller! It doesn’t go unnoticed my friend❤️
Girl, I love you. Thank you for keeping me sane while I’m buried in Criminal Law coursework. You’re my fav youtuber/the only reason I really get on here anymore with my little bit of free time. Thank you thank you thank you
I've had to evacuate my family home due to a couple of fires that are raging nearby. It was such a relief and a sense of normalcy to sit down and see Steph had uploaded more Harloween videos. I certainly needed a little escape
Ive watched a couple paranormal channels who investigated the hinsdale house, there evidence was insane. So when i seen youve done videos explaining the history and the atory of the family i couldnt click quick enough!! I throughly love your deep dives😍😍
I definitely believe in the afterlife. There is more than just this. I work home-health and I've sat by many patients besides at the end and it's the same thing with 95%, that their deceased loved ones are there in the corner, came to visit, etc. Their stories are almost identical and they have full blown conversations with their already parted loved ones. Most have their minds (sharp wits) some don't but their stories are the same.❤
Really? I've heard that it happens on occasion, but 95% seems like a gross exaggeration. The phenomenon would be common knowledge if that was the case.
@@lilyw.719 I work Home-Health so 95% of mine is accurate. I might take care of the same person for 2 + years. Home-Health is different than nursing homes. But yes out of all of mine, everyone has said these things to me except for about 3. I don't think it would be that way in a nursing home with higher death rates.
Im a nursing assistant and have seen it as well. This one patient that I had threw her arms up in the air like she was actually leaving and going to Heaven. She was fine just 10 minutes earlier and she ended up passing away that night. I myself had an outer body experience when I almost passed away because of child birth complications. They gave me a 1 percent chance. I dont know where to start with what I saw. God is real and there is Heaven, I believe❤
@@rachaelcox4104 my question is if there is God then why do such horrible things happen to people and animals daily. Why would he allow this especially on innocents.
@@rageintothelight I know you asked someone else but here's my answer...because God gave us, as humans, free will. Bad things happen because of people who choose to do evil over good.
I really enjoyed this video, i like many that you've done. We have a ghost here, since i moved in i always felt like i was being watched and sometimes id just shrug it off. But the longer we lived here the more things have started to happen. I mostly try and joke about it and shout stuff like "unless you've come to hoover, wash up or put the clean washing away tonight aint it sis " just my sense of humour i guess i dont like to show fear to something i cant see. Thats what they feed off of.
Okay I'm only about 4 minutes in but I'm hooked. I can't wait to hear your experience at Hinsdale house. I've had a few personal ghost experiences so I'm definitely a believer in the after life and I can't wait to hear this 2 part series!
I would not ever say someone else did not experience what they said they did. Even completely mentally ill people who hallucinate are experiencing what they think they are, even if others around them can't see it. I don't think the family is mentally ill, but I do think these cases are compounded by family members falling into a group hysteria easily. Especially with kids. But, my first thought as I listened was a fear cage. As a child of the same era, I remember even living in the city most houses still had porcelain tube and knob electrical systems, and our electricity would go out in any storm, or sometimes for no reason at all. The electrical setup of a house can produce all of the "creepy feelings" and even some visual and audio artifacts. Also, I would have worried about ground water, airborne toxins, and other environmental factors. The fact that it was in a sort of valley can also make auditory artifacts which have been scientifically proven to cause confusion and hallucinations. and all of the family should have maybe had a blood workup in case of physical contamination. I do believe we do not know everything about everything, and that different combinations of land topography, water, minerals and the like could possibly lead to an area conducive to "recordings" or visuals and audios of the past, as well as places where energies, whether spiritual or scientific may have a "good spot" to manifest. Spooky stuff so far, it's bringing me back to the less lit era of my childhood where there was not as much technology to watch over us!
As a fellow Rochestarian, I have my own connection to Hinsdale and am excited to watch your interpretation of the events and stories that have been told about this haunting!!! Off to view the upload as we speak.
This first part was so good! Thank you for another amazing video! I have been obsessively checking for part 2! I know you tube should notify me, but you know how that goes! LOL
Why anyone would continue living in that house after all this crap (or even after only half of it) is beyond me. By the time I'm looking up "exorcist" in the yellow page I'm OUT.
Money. If you don't got the money to move, you're screwed. I'm reminded of an exchange from a bad horror movie. Paraphrase mine. *some dude*: "If their house is really haunted, why don't they just move out?" *some lady*: "Not everyone's a Hollywood actor who can afford to have three different houses."
The first house I lived in when I left home was haunted, and there was lots of creepy activity going on. We stayed there for as long as we did because we didn’t have the money to get a better place.
Ooouuuf. These stories give me the creeps. I’m the type of person that has an open mind, and I’ve had “paranormal/supernatural” experiences myself.. I just can’t imagine how the family and friends dealt with the aftermath of this.
For five years, I was a cemetery caretaker and gravedigger. In all the time which I spent at my former occupation, I never sensed anything paranormal. My job wasn't creepy -- it was honorable; and at times; very sad.
I‘ve had quite a few „interactions“ with ghosts but never in a cemetery. If you think about it, it does make sense for regular cemeteries because we humans are connected to places we loved and lived in and of course people we loved but why would we have a connection to the place where our body rots? If someone was murdered though (or experienced similar trauma somewhere) then it would make sense that they are spiritually bound to the place where their body was left behind/buried. I have the feeling that quantum physics could explain these things , that there really is a connection (or entanglement) between us, time and places. It would explain why some ghost sightings talk about repetitive behavior, like walking down the stairs, opening doors, even hurting others.

I absolutely love how you set your videos up and how you go really deep into the lives/history of others and places. This video was one of my favorites for sure! ❤️
@@ambernailling2658 Hill House was so good damn !! There's also a movie from the 2000s with Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta Jones and Lily Taylor that is worth watching. It was THE movie that made me love the genre.
I normally don’t like to watch/listen to these types of things because it scares me so much. But your storytelling abilities are so amazing....I can’t help myself!
Hello from buffalo! My cousins live on the same hill, just on the other side of the woods from this house. I can tell you, ever part of that land is terrifying ...I spent my childhood riding bikes, playing hid n seek, and exploring the woods of that area. I always had an uneasy feeling, I hated being alone in those woods and I have seen things before 😳
So I wrote my comment before listening to video and I just want to add....what I saw was a man in overalls and a hat, a farmer 😳 my cousin saw it too....I didn’t mention what I saw because it doesn’t sound scary but after listening to this, I had no idea that, that was something that people saw in this land
I just learned that you are from Rochester, NY. 🙂 After I moved from Switzerland in 2010 to the USA, I lived in Rochester, Webster, NY. 2019 I moved to NJ though.
I really like this - and holy cats- I generally wear headphones when watching - I was _not_ ready for the Gregorian chants... sitting here crocheting and listening... looking up... music starts and I about launched off my chair! Ditto when your cute little doggo on the back of the couch/chair looked up... :-) well done!
Although I love the scariest side effects, I never like aggressive or trauma sounds added, because my cats freak out and it ruins our cozy bedtime routine. I almost always listen to spooky stories at bedtime. True crime is for daytime…that’s unsettling in a different way.

Girl you look good like always! That had me laughing way harder than I should,. I’m going to tell my husband that one on my next bad face day hahah.
Girl please! Queen Harloween couldn’t look bad if she tried 👸🏻
“I don’t know about your children but mine don’t look like woodchucks” ... “I would’ve thrown myself down the hill & rolled all the way home screaming” i needed those laughs
She makes these days so much easier 😂
Hey heather✌🙂
The rolling had me rolling 🤣
Omg right was chuckling hardcore!!!
BRO WHEN SHE ADDED THAT BACKGROUND CHANTING WHEN THEY HEARD THE MUSIC I JUMPED ACROSS MY ROOM
Me too! And when she mentioned a piercing scream I turned my volume down just in case lol
I was alone at work and it wigged me out so badly I had to turn it off
Seriously, almost shit myself ugh 😆
Do you ever come across ghosts that aren’t bad? We grew up in a “haunted” house but we never had bad things happen to us. However, my brother was renovating a part of the house and they had sheets of glass on a table. His friend, made a crude remark about one of us (there were three girls) and my brother walked away while telling him not to say things like that. My brothers friend was on a ladder and he swears a sheet of glass flew directly at him. My brother ran back into to room and had to take his friend to the hospital to get stitches. Everyone there that day swears there was no one near the glass. Soon, it became clear that no one should speak in a disrespectful way about any of us. Not even joking! I love that house to this day! We have a lot of stories to tell!
Would love to hear those stories! 😊
i mean, that sounds like a violent ghost right there. you may have not had issues with it, but that doesn't mean it's a good haunting.
My mom said we had a benevolent ghost in the very old farmhouse we moved to when I started high school. No sightings... but my mother could feel the spirit.
I have!! My childhood home was haunted by a 15 year old boy who hung himself, and he would come into my doorway and just watch me at night. He never came any closer than the doorway, as if not wanting to frighten me. My dad heard him walking around throughout the day when home alone. He was just a curious, almost protective-like young man and never caused any trouble. One of the buildings at my school is also haunted, I’ve discovered. I recently saw a man in a suit peeking in on my lecture. Every time I went to fully look at him, he ducked behind the doorway. I finally caught a full look at him, though. He’s just a curious guy, probably just wondering what we’re doing. My grandparents’ house though? They have something dark there.
The house we lived in during the mid-to-late 70s was haunted. It was a fairly new, probably 5 or 6 years old when we moved in, but there had allegedly been a farmhouse there at one time. We stayed there the longest - about 2 years, nobody else lasted more than 6 months. My brother absolutely refused to sleep in his bed the entire time we lived there because, as he told our parents "Those kids won't leave me alone." The only person who never saw anything weird was my father. My mother told me recently that one of the reasons we moved out of state was because of the ghosts (the other was because the neighbors were mobsters from Philly).
I’m not trying to discredit any other true crime youtuber, but these others that have 2M+ subscribers just do not compare to you. You work so hard and deliver the most accurate info, multiple times I have caught them with incorrect info and I’m like 👀. I just love you lol and I love how truly hard you work for us.
this. stephanie is leagues above w her research and i love it
steph gets things wrong sometimes but i don't think that means she doesn't work hard
Maggie I agree, I can’t understand why
As much as I am convinced that each true crime youtuber has their own charm, stephanie's has a special place in my heart. In her way she makes me feel closer to the people she talks about, and i love her delivery and her story telling. Most of all, her research as you said is amazing.
@@hana__banana I totally agree! And they do have their own charm, like when Kendall or Bailey upload a video, best believe I’m still going to be there. But, as you said, Stephanie just has a special place in my heart.

I agree I dont watch any other channel as regularly. literally love Stephanie Harlowes channel enough that I watch every.single.video she posts.
The flies, the glowing eyes, the dying animals, so much of this reminds me of the Amityville house. Very creepy! You NEVER disappoint Stephanie!

Dive deep or don't bother.
I work alone in the super early morning because Covid. Entire shifts are spent listening to these stories. The lil ten minute overviews are useless to me.
Was also listening to the lights out podcast but those guys are super doofy and it's distracting. Stephanie is actually a good storyteller and must dedicate a frankly amazing amount of time to research. There are cases I've followed for like 15 years and learn something new from these vids. Also small details everyone gets wrong, she gets right.
@@edwardzignot2681 If you haven't watched it yet, I'd totally recommend her series on the Manson Family! I believe it's her longest and most in-depth analysis of a case/event.
@@edwardzignot2681 Hi if you like the deeper dives, I have several channels to recommend to you. I have included also channels that are more along the lines of investigative/forensic analysis as well as the straight storytelling type of content like Stephanie does. I really hope you give these a try:
1. Eleanor Neale (a fellow Brit who does story narration like stephanie)
2. True Crime Rocket Science (investigative/analysis)
3. It's a Crime (investigative/analysis)
4. Georgia Marie (story narration. he also does history as well as true crime)
5. Danelle Hallan (story narration)
6. Dr Todd Grande (psychology/mental health of criminals - he's a psychologst)
7. Plunder (investigative)
8. That Chapter (story narration)
9. Criminally Listed (story narration)
10. Annielytics (analysis - she's the aunt of Tylee Ryan)
11. Cold Podcast (absolutely the definitive researcher on the Susan Smith case, he even has access to information others don't and has interviewed LE officers that were involved in the case).
12.JCS Psychology (analysis/body language).
Have you any true crime/forensic analysis channels that you can recommend?

Dude, poor Clara. My heart breaks for this woman. All she wanted was to move her family out to the countryside that they loved, only to have it backfire in her face. She went through hell in this house and it's only part one?! 😳
I know, right? This poor family!!! I wish I could tell this family that I’m so sorry for what they went through! And also, I’m not gonna lie, I would LOVE to be able to talk to them. If they were s alive, that is.
It's a story. She made money from selling her book. No need to feel sorry for her lol
Yeah, it's a spooky story that made the woman rich...don't worry about it.
I'm half expecting the Warren's to show up in part two and say: oh yeah, you have a demon in the house...in a matter of factly way.
And then a Hollywood movie gets made about it too, lol!

“I would have thrown myself down that hill. Home. Screaming all the way.” I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard at a Harlowe video. But, it was because I would have done the same exact thing! 😂😂😂
Really though! 🤣🤣
I’m pretty sure everywhere in America is an old burial ground for natives.
I'm native american and I always find it funny when people are afraid of native burial grounds. We aren't much different then white cemetaries
The only difference I'm aware of is that many tribes believe disturbing their graves disrupts the dead and bad things can happen. Said bad things seem to differ depending on the tribe and how/why the grave was disturbed.

Steph: “Hold my pumpkin spice latte.”
The Skinwalker Ranch video is the only video Stephanie has made that scared me... until now. 😱😨
Lmao
That was a pretty creepy video!
This one tops it all I think
I haven’t found that one yet! But this one is plenty scary! I was watching it at bedtime last night and it was freaking me out so I stopped and am finishing it today.
That root cellar looks like where they shot the ending scenes of the blair witch project.
That’s what I thought super creepy

I actually just left this house! We stopped off on a trip through Hinsdale and figured we could stop by to take some pictures. Similar to Clara, we also saw a deer that crossed the road near the house and it's broad daylight! This video is the first one we pulled up to get a full story of this house after leaving. We are listening now on our trip and I'm so glad we found your video! How interesting! (And creepy) Lol We may schedule an actual tour soon. Thanks so much!
Heee heee heeeeeee…🤭😆🤣😂🥹… Stephanie impersonating the sounds of ‘paper’ falling… too cute Steph!🥰
My brain is stuck on them carrying water though the deep snow... Why didn't they just melt the snow for baths? I'll see myself out.
I was wondering the same
For real!
😂😂😂 omggggg I never thought of this!!
big oof
Only reason I can think of why they didn't is that snow reduces vastly in volume when melted so they would need to make many more trips to get enough snow vs getting water from the well? I thought the same thing at first too 😂
first Kendall now Stephanie ? my night is made 😍😍
Just realized I made almost the very same comment. 😂❤😍
@@jlfoxy1251 great minds think alike 😂❤️they’re both amazing tho i love them 😍
Hi Stephanie. That #1 best seller book, called The Bible, definetly says there is life after death.😊 I found you recently and enjoy you very much. I love the theme song while you pour your coffee.
Was thinking the exact same thing!
I know right! 🥰
I love that you don’t just go straight to the spooky stuff. I love your history lessons 🖤
Watching this one again… it’s one of my favorites. Wish she would do a paranormal series on other similar stories ❤❤
Worlds colliding! This is my first Harloween, and I'm so excited you're covering paranormal stories, this is so exciting. Watching part 2 straight away. 💕
The most terrifying part of this story so far for me is the way my heart pounds in my chest whenever you mention one of their animals and I'm praying that it hasn't been found killed by "something" when the family are wandering around the property at night 💔😿💔
I’be seen those flying light UFO’s once while camping on a Native Reserve Island. After speaking to multiple locals, I’ve learned that everyone has seen multiple spotting a of these hovering bright lights. The evening we saw them, we kept on hearing massive sounding thunder/ drum beats coming from the ground. We thought it was weird but didn’t focus on it but now I feel it’s more significant. We also felt we were being watched and interacted with.... our music would come off, no biggie, but it would suddenly turn back on at very significant moment like us saying “I love you, you’re my soulmate” and suddenly a song with lyrics “I love you you’re my soulmate” would come on! All night after seeing the lights! It’s worth mentioning, seeing the lights was super scary, but the vibe after that was very happy and full of love if that makes sense..... it’s the energy around us was being controlled. It’s was actually pretty amazing....
A year later, I was thinking about that event very intensely, and felt actually a bit sad that I might never see something like that again, I felt thankful that I got to experience it. Then, five minutes later, I saw a UFO, the same looking but smaller, right above me while driving on the highway!!!!!!
I have no explanation for these types of events but at this point, it feels silly to deny any of it.
You should share more of your experiences if you feel comfortable 💛
Man, the comments section on this channel makes up half the fun. What a story 😬

The best!
@Stephanie Harlowe I’m not a follower of this stuff, but TODAY I was so excited to see that YOU did a video on it! My son (44 years old) is on his way there right NOW. I looked for “history of Hinsdale House” and shared the video right away, so they could listen to it on their way there. I’m mainly concerned because of the Indian Lore associated with it.
I hope they listen, and thank you, I love your channel!
This house is in my hometown and the typical Friday night thing to do was get drunk on Four Lokos and see if we could conjure any ghosts. It’d usually end with my friends and I just being teenage idiots and scaring ourselves but a few times we’d look back on pictures and videos we took and there’d be some huge unexplained orbs and strange shadows that made no sense given the lighting. One particular night we heard really loud guttural sounds that were almost like a mix of screams and growls. We all agreed to chalk it up to “coyotes” even though we knew that wasn’t it. We never went back after that night lol.
Super cool to see one of my favorite creators cover my sleepy town 😊
My heart jumped when you talked about the sound of a woman's scream in the woods. I grew up in the mountains and we often heard this. I was warned that it is a panther and to NEVER go looking! They could also sound like a baby crying. It is an eerie thing to hear.
Panthers live that far north? I would think mountain lion, since they do the scream thing too.
Also foxes sounds like girls screaming at times.
I grew up in the appalachian mountains and I can attest that this is 100% true from my own personal experience and it was very eerie
Foxes sound sometimes like someone is being murdered. I was shocked to discover how creepy they can sound.
I currently live in the rural TN mtns and have lived in the foothills of the Appalachian mtns in Alabama; I can attest that the sound of a panther screaming in the middle of the night will wake you up from a dead sleep. It sounds like a woman screaming. For the other commenter, lain, where I’m from we use the terms ‘cougar’, ‘panther’ and ‘mountain lion’ interchangeably. We just mean whatever what local wild cat that is bigger than a bobcat.
I just wanna say I can always count on u to not only completely entertain with your videos, but also give probably the most comprehensive coverage of these stories that you can find on RUclips. I almost didn’t watch the Salem one Cos I thought I knew all there was to know but I ended up learning a lot and was still thoroughly entertained hearing you recant the stories I already knew.
amen
Thank you so much!!!!! 😍😍😍
I’m never a “why didn’t they...” type of person. But this is one of the few cases where I’m really thinking WHY DIDNT THEY LEAVE?! With everything happening what was the reason of staying? Sell the house and leave. Or abandon the house. Like the people from the “watcher house”. At least in that example it was just letters. This family damn near died a few times and wouldn’t leave.
I know, right? To be fair, they probably didn't have the money. The family from the Watcher House at least had enough (did you see how big that house was? They weren't exactly scrapping the bottom of the money barrel) to go somewhere else. This one? Not really. Especially since hubby-dearest wasn't doing squat.
I was going to say something similar! Like someone else said maybe money was a big factor here but YIKES
Derrick R probably because they completely exaggerated and embellished their experience for fame. I mean she wrote a book afterwards.
Not that easy to just sell a house especially a haunted cursed bee infested one
I imagine with the normal chaos of day to day life it's easy to convince yourself things are fine and not that bad. We're hearing all about the bad things that happened condensed but they experienced it more spread out and real time. We're not experiencing their work/school days, social lives, housework, general life or their good days that was mixed with these events.
Ahhh!!! I grew up in the area and did a video for my high school radio/tv class about this house❤❤❤
Subscribed. Tyvm. I too, enjoy long walks in cemeteries (difficult to find others to walk with me). Some of the headstones are very elaborate.
Stephanie gets speeding ticket... “House is effing HAUNTED!!!”
Only possible explanation! XD

"beth had a doll" don't, beth
Man I can handle anything horror, creepy and down right terrifying but the SECOND a doll is involved I turn back into the 6 year old who thought she was so cool and tough enough to watch Child’s Play with my older brother. I still have nightmares
@@PhancyPants12 girl same! My daughter has a collection of porcelain dolls. Most I have no idea where they came from because my daughter's grandfather on her dad's side gave them to my daughter and they were probably stolen knowing him however they are so creepy! My daughter has had dolls that talked and I hated them because of that damn movie🤣
@@brownsuga10282 I used to have a porcelain marionette clown doll that stood on a pedestal. On a few occasions, I would put it out as decoration and then I would find it inside a cabinet later when I noticed it was gone and went looking for it. It was a little creepy to me until I talked it over with my husband. He said he thought the clown was scary and would "put it away" so he didn't have to look at it. 😂
Giiiiirl for a few days ive been like: "is Stephanie ok? She hasn't posted ... 🤷♀️.. " I wasn't angry or upset I was legit worried so this is a double blessing cause now I get to hear and new video as well!
Y’all she’s busy AF and told us she was waiting to finished both parts before posting. 🥰 No worries!
I was worried too haha
Right!! I was starting to worry.
You know the content’s good when you’re walking around your house turning more lights on because you’re scared, BUT turning up the volume before you do so. 😅🤣

The Skinwalker Ranch video was fascinating.
The map in the background is so cool!
Thanks for the video.
In the Cemetary in my hometown in England, there is an Anglo-Saxon tombstone over 1000 years old! It is very ornate even now.
You are the absolute BEST storyteller on RUclips. You portray the cast of characters in such a vivid way, I can imagine myself there, seeing the events unfold in real life. You are so intelligent, eloquent and classy and I am so happy it's Harloween 🎃👻👽💀
I ordered Racons based on your and your son’s recommendation, and I have to say I LOVE THEM!!! It is the first pair of ear buds that are comfortable and fit my ears. Thank you so much!
This is right in where I live and work !!!!! How am I just seeing this !! I’m in shock that I’m a fan of Stephanie and never knew we were only 30 mins apart and this true crime is right near me !!
I grew up in Allegany. We all knew this house and it's story but never in this depth ! 👏 wow. You always deliver.
Fabulous. Why did I watch this? I'm currently staying alone with just my dog in an old stone house in Brittany, where literally every night is a dark and stormy night. Listening to this getting completely creeped out and then my normally placid dog decides he hears something outside and starts barking like a maniac. Thank you, Stephanie - now I don't have to worry about COVID because I'm dead from a heart attack. 😱😂
Listening to this while walking on a trail, got to the part with the singing and chanting in the woods on the hill near the campgrounds. There are woods to my left and right, no one on this trail and Stephanie starts playing the Gregorian chant. I hear it in the background thru my earphones. I freaked out thinking I’m hearing it for real in the woods. TOO EFFING REAL! But that’s why we’re here right??? Scared ✅ 🥺 job well done Stephanie ❤️❤️❤️
Omg I’m in MO now but was born and raised in Binghamton NY!
This is one of my favorite videos to come back to watch. Don’t know why but, I’ve watched it so many times.
That single lady scream was most likely a mountain lion. If you've ever heard one like I have....you dont forget it.
Agreed. Wild cats are the scariest thing you can hear in the woods. Ravens are also terrifying.
Or a fisher cat- those are also freaky sounding animals. Most likely not this but: when we moved into our house in backwoods Kentucky, the first night, my mom and I are sitting on the porch and we hear someone screaming- and then someone else screaming. My mom goes inside and grabs my dad and tells him it sounds like a woman is being murdered. He comes out and listens, and he agrees, there's definitely two distinct voices screaming, at different pitches, but it was going on for too long, and too sustained for that to be what it was, so we didn't need to worry about it and he went to bed...so we did too. The next day we met our new neighbors who were very casual about "oh by the way, did you hear something that sounds like some people being murdered? Don't worry about it, the neighbor has peacocks, and its mating season". Sure enough, a few days later we go to see all the peacocks on this abandoned house. I assume they were still be cared for, but it was wacky driving home every day and just seeing this clearly abandoned and beat to hell old house, with beautiful peacocks all over it, the roof, the grounds, etc. There was at least 18 of them.
@@creative_angst LOL, yeah, I've heard peacocks, and they are freaky.
Mountain lions don’t live in western New York

Hi Steph! I know you're super busy, but this is kind of an urgent matter.
A few weeks ago you did a case on south africa, after which so many people commented about maybe you looking into farm murders.
Since then things have kind of gotten out of hand. Today (16 October) there is a hearing for the murderers of a 20 year old man called Brendin Horner. He was attacked on his way home one night (about two weeks ago), in his autopsy they saw that his hands were broken from fighting back. He was mutilated, and it was over kill.
He's one of so so many cases, and out government & president are covering it up.
I mean they've cut off parents achilles heals, and then forced them to watch as their babies are raped and tortured to death.
It's not just random crime. It's so violent and gruesome, that it's really scary. It's targeted to farmers and their workers, and it's people of all races not just white people like so many believe.
The news didn't report on this, but after everything that happened in Senekal (where Brendin's case takes place) that farmers near there woke up this week to ALL of their sheep dead, because their water was poisoned. These people lost thousands of innocent animals because they're finally standing up and want to see who murdered Brendin.
My dad also told me about a farmer that won his case of land repropriation without compensation, and the people who lost the case out of who knows what decided that burning down the farmers storages, home and other buildings, as well as cutting down one of the biggest macadamia farmers in our country. This farmer lost his entire livelihood, and now his land has lost so much of its value.
It's so bad that tonight on the news (they hardly ever report on farm murders) they reported that farmers are taking Krav Magar (israeli defence technique taught in the military) so that they could be able to protect themselves and their employees. Which is a good thing that they're taking their safety into their own hands because the police don't have the means to always respond quickly. Now the government is saying that not only are farm murders not real (untrue), they're also saying that they're monitoring the farmers for possible terrorist attacks. Like these people just want to live.
I know families that all sleep in the same room at night and lock themselves inside before the sun goes down just to protect themselves, while the parents each sleep with guns next to them. These people also can't leave their tractors, animals, vehicles or any other types of possessions outside because they will be stolen.
It would mean so much for our country if you could help raise awareness, because if this doesn't stop the agricultural sector of South Africa will die off and there will not be any fresh produce and our economy will fail.
One of my husband's friends lived in SA for a few years and married a woman from SA. They have their own YT channel and talked about the farm murders. They had so many people commenting hate and accusing them of lying because they acknowledged that the farm murders are really happening. That happens to anyone who posts about the farm murders. Even worse is seeing comments praising the murders and justifying them. I work in agriculture in the US and my heart breaks for SA 😢
This is extremely disturbing and so scary I hope this does get more attention I had no idea about any of this thank you and again I hope it does get some more attention so people will be aware
@@BeccaE I've seen people all over social media try to bring awareness about this and they always get hate comments, accused of spreading a conspiracy, or worse, people who support the farm murders.
@@udderlylost1178 i've this happen so many times. People don't want to acknowledge it because our government has turned it into a racial thing. It's a taboo to talk about farm murders because the government wants to expropriate land without compensation, and if it looks like farmers are being targeted they could have so many more problems than they already do. It's really sad and scary. Cause some people I know have to teach their kids who are younger than 10 how to handle firearms in the case that their parents are attacked.
@@udderlylost1178 wow that’s just insane especially to accuse people that this is a conspiracy theory when it clearly is not
2 Part Stephanie Harlowe videos are the only kind imo. Unless they're 3 or 4 parters, than I'm really in love.
I have been binging for days. My favorite RUclips ever!!!
Same!
You are the absolute queen of many things....including adjectives & adverbs, makes for such an amazing storyteller! It doesn’t go unnoticed my friend❤️
I'm only 20 minutes in but this sounds like the premise of the conjuring. Like the house description and everything. So eerie💀
Girl, I love you. Thank you for keeping me sane while I’m buried in Criminal Law coursework. You’re my fav youtuber/the only reason I really get on here anymore with my little bit of free time. Thank you thank you thank you
I've had to evacuate my family home due to a couple of fires that are raging nearby. It was such a relief and a sense of normalcy to sit down and see Steph had uploaded more Harloween videos. I certainly needed a little escape
Ive watched a couple paranormal channels who investigated the hinsdale house, there evidence was insane. So when i seen youve done videos explaining the history and the atory of the family i couldnt click quick enough!!
I throughly love your deep dives😍😍
stephanie's curly hair is so nice ♡
the word ‘haunting’ has gripped me ASAPPPP😍
I definitely believe in the afterlife. There is more than just this. I work home-health and I've sat by many patients besides at the end and it's the same thing with 95%, that their deceased loved ones are there in the corner, came to visit, etc. Their stories are almost identical and they have full blown conversations with their already parted loved ones. Most have their minds (sharp wits) some don't but their stories are the same.❤
Really? I've heard that it happens on occasion, but 95% seems like a gross exaggeration. The phenomenon would be common knowledge if that was the case.
@@lilyw.719 I work Home-Health so 95% of mine is accurate. I might take care of the same person for 2 + years. Home-Health is different than nursing homes. But yes out of all of mine, everyone has said these things to me except for about 3. I don't think it would be that way in a nursing home with higher death rates.
Im a nursing assistant and have seen it as well. This one patient that I had threw her arms up in the air like she was actually leaving and going to Heaven. She was fine just 10 minutes earlier and she ended up passing away that night. I myself had an outer body experience when I almost passed away because of child birth complications. They gave me a 1 percent chance. I dont know where to start with what I saw. God is real and there is Heaven, I believe❤
@@rachaelcox4104 my question is if there is God then why do such horrible things happen to people and animals daily. Why would he allow this especially on innocents.
@@rageintothelight I know you asked someone else but here's my answer...because God gave us, as humans, free will. Bad things happen because of people who choose to do evil over good.
I really enjoyed this video, i like many that you've done.
We have a ghost here, since i moved in i always felt like i was being watched and sometimes id just shrug it off. But the longer we lived here the more things have started to happen.
I mostly try and joke about it and shout stuff like "unless you've come to hoover, wash up or put the clean washing away tonight aint it sis " just my sense of humour i guess i dont like to show fear to something i cant see. Thats what they feed off of.
I'm absolutely loving this! The details, the curious series of events, and Stephanie's narration! Fantastic 👏💐
Okay I'm only about 4 minutes in but I'm hooked. I can't wait to hear your experience at Hinsdale house. I've had a few personal ghost experiences so I'm definitely a believer in the after life and I can't wait to hear this 2 part series!
I would've scooped up my kids and dipped out of that house in a heartbeat. F' that.
I would not ever say someone else did not experience what they said they did. Even completely mentally ill people who hallucinate are experiencing what they think they are, even if others around them can't see it. I don't think the family is mentally ill, but I do think these cases are compounded by family members falling into a group hysteria easily. Especially with kids. But, my first thought as I listened was a fear cage. As a child of the same era, I remember even living in the city most houses still had porcelain tube and knob electrical systems, and our electricity would go out in any storm, or sometimes for no reason at all. The electrical setup of a house can produce all of the "creepy feelings" and even some visual and audio artifacts. Also, I would have worried about ground water, airborne toxins, and other environmental factors. The fact that it was in a sort of valley can also make auditory artifacts which have been scientifically proven to cause confusion and hallucinations. and all of the family should have maybe had a blood workup in case of physical contamination. I do believe we do not know everything about everything, and that different combinations of land topography, water, minerals and the like could possibly lead to an area conducive to "recordings" or visuals and audios of the past, as well as places where energies, whether spiritual or scientific may have a "good spot" to manifest. Spooky stuff so far, it's bringing me back to the less lit era of my childhood where there was not as much technology to watch over us!
As a fellow Rochestarian, I have my own connection to Hinsdale and am excited to watch your interpretation of the events and stories that have been told about this haunting!!! Off to view the upload as we speak.
I am covered in goose bumps after you detailed the light and flying saucers. Absolutely covered in goosebumps, holy cow!
This first part was so good! Thank you for another amazing video! I have been obsessively checking for part 2! I know you tube should notify me, but you know how that goes! LOL
Why anyone would continue living in that house after all this crap (or even after only half of it) is beyond me. By the time I'm looking up "exorcist" in the yellow page I'm OUT.
Money. If you don't got the money to move, you're screwed. I'm reminded of an exchange from a bad horror movie. Paraphrase mine.
*some dude*: "If their house is really haunted, why don't they just move out?"
*some lady*: "Not everyone's a Hollywood actor who can afford to have three different houses."
The first house I lived in when I left home was haunted, and there was lots of creepy activity going on. We stayed there for as long as we did because we didn’t have the money to get a better place.
My parents live in a old Victorian house built in 1876. As a kid and even an adult I've experienced a lot of paranormal stuff.
You're psychic. If you weren't you wouldn't experience anything.
I like that you link part 2 in the description. It’s really helpful when watching part 1 years later!!
What does it say about me that this video is my comfort video I always rewatch😂
Ooouuuf. These stories give me the creeps. I’m the type of person that has an open mind, and I’ve had “paranormal/supernatural” experiences myself.. I just can’t imagine how the family and friends dealt with the aftermath of this.
"We began to have the distinct feeling we were not wanted in the house." I wonder how they came to that conclusion? Lol!
Me: Began?! I bet they were the brightest kids in their classes.
For five years, I was a cemetery caretaker and gravedigger. In all the time which I spent at my former occupation, I never sensed anything paranormal. My job wasn't creepy -- it was honorable; and at times; very sad.
I‘ve had quite a few „interactions“ with ghosts but never in a cemetery. If you think about it, it does make sense for regular cemeteries because we humans are connected to places we loved and lived in and of course people we loved but why would we have a connection to the place where our body rots? If someone was murdered though (or experienced similar trauma somewhere) then it would make sense that they are spiritually bound to the place where their body was left behind/buried.
I have the feeling that quantum physics could explain these things , that there really is a connection (or entanglement) between us, time and places. It would explain why some ghost sightings talk about repetitive behavior, like walking down the stairs, opening doors, even hurting others.
@@juliaspoonie3627 - Thank you, dear lady, for the reply. I found your presentation of the history of the state of New York to be very informative. I've visited Tarrytown, NY. It's an interesting locale historically. My ancestry is English and Romanian. I've done a lot of research into British and Eastern European folklore. Cheers -- W
I have been watching your videos just about everyday for about two months. I watch them when I’m cooking, cleaning, or just looking for something on TV (RUclips TV). I absolutely love how you set your videos up and how you go really deep into the lives/history of others and places. This video was one of my favorites for sure! ❤️
I love Harloween so much that I am watching old episodes to get my fix before a new one comes out
This is the first spooky story that has literally given me chills, you are SUCH a good storyteller! ❤
Also.. YOURE 37?! You literally look like you've just turned 30 at most. I know you have an adult daughter but it still threw me 🤣
I thought she was about 24 when I found this channel 🙂
Always thought she was mid 20s :0
@FlyingToDISASTER I think her eldest daughter is 18! She looks like Steph
Her eldest is 19
Perfect timing! I've just finished binge watching The Haunting of Hill House and the Haunting of Bly Manor, on Netflix. I'm so excited!!
I love hill house! The second one wasn’t as scary, but still interesting.
@@ambernailling2658 Hill House was so good damn !! There's also a movie from the 2000s with Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta Jones and Lily Taylor that is worth watching. It was THE movie that made me love the genre.
Thanks for the amazing vids! Congrats on the subs!
I normally don’t like to watch/listen to these types of things because it scares me so much. But your storytelling abilities are so amazing....I can’t help myself!
The problem with visiting haunted houses is you might bring home a “hitchhiker”
👻 👀
I think our Queen knows the right precautions:)
So says Disney too lol haunted mansion!
Just make sure you carry quince seeds!!😁
This has happened to me. I was tortured for 3 years. I don't even have much memory. I brought something home from Gettysburg PA
I am sure I would bring home a stow away. Way too sensitive and scared of them.
The bee incident alone...Good bye. I will live in a tent until things shake out and I can find a non-demonic home to live in again. Jeez
For real! So far the creepy chanting and the woman with pointed/rabbit teeth. For some reason the thought of dagger teeth creeps me out, big time!
Me too, I would've been out of there after the first month!
I hate bees so much that I would be gone.
I’d buy a yurt lol
Or sage and holy water the house
Hello from buffalo! My cousins live on the same hill, just on the other side of the woods from this house. I can tell you, ever part of that land is terrifying ...I spent my childhood riding bikes, playing hid n seek, and exploring the woods of that area. I always had an uneasy feeling, I hated being alone in those woods and I have seen things before 😳
So I wrote my comment before listening to video and I just want to add....what I saw was a man in overalls and a hat, a farmer 😳 my cousin saw it too....I didn’t mention what I saw because it doesn’t sound scary but after listening to this, I had no idea that, that was something that people saw in this land
my grandparents lived in Hinsdale. I only remember being scared in the woods once... I thought there was a bear. Terrifying ?????
I just learned that you are from Rochester, NY. 🙂 After I moved from Switzerland in 2010 to the USA, I lived in Rochester, Webster, NY. 2019 I moved to NJ though.
I'm rewatching all the Halloween vids, love them all. Thank you
Omg this was sooooo good! I hope part 2's out today 🥺 Thank you for your hard work Stephanie!
I really like this - and holy cats- I generally wear headphones when watching - I was _not_ ready for the Gregorian chants... sitting here crocheting and listening... looking up... music starts and I about launched off my chair! Ditto when your cute little doggo on the back of the couch/chair looked up... :-) well done!
I got scared when you mentioned the scream thinking you might put a scream in, I don't think I could've taken that 😅😂
Same. I immediately jumped to turn my volume down preemtively 😂😂😂
Although I love the scariest side effects, I never like aggressive or trauma sounds added, because my cats freak out and it ruins our cozy bedtime routine. I almost always listen to spooky stories at bedtime. True crime is for daytime…that’s unsettling in a different way.
Thank you for being my favorite RUclipsr.... your videos and stories are so in depth and interesting. And that voice....
I’m hooked on your podcast!
