    In December 1988, Bob Cranmer and his family moved into 3406 Brownsville Road, Pennsylvania. Almost immediately, a series of strange things happened: furniture moving by itself; mysterious footsteps and knocking in the night; and then, the appearance of a terrifying, hooded Grim Reaper-like figure… Before too long, it was said that a demon had a grip on the house - and all who resided in it. In the end, the happenings reached such a peak that an exorcist was invited to the haunted property. Ultimately, however, only years of battle and endurance of some of the most horrific paranormal activity ever reported would shake the haunting.

    I met a guy a long time ago who was from Boston. He told me something similar happened to his family at some house they were living in. His parents and brother and sister would get really violent with each other and his mom was cutting herself whenever they were inside the house. When they would leave the house everything was ok. They lasted about 2 months and then moved out. Later his dad went to the local library to do research on the house and found that it was the second oldest house in Boston. He found that 28 families in the last 2 years had moved in and then moved out of the place.

      According to him, he and his family had been haunted their entire lives.
      One story he told me, is that he was spending the night at his girlfriends house. They went to bed and a little while later he said he kept feeling her foot hitting his. He thought she was just messing around until he looked over and saw her gasping for air. So he turned the lights on and shook her. She was finally able to sit up, and she said something had been choking her. They talked about it for a few minutes and went to sleep. A couple of hours later he rolled over and his arm touched hers and her arm was ice cold so he looked at her and her head was turned towards him and she was wide eyes open and smiling from ear to ear. So he jumped up and turned the lights on and she was still staring at him and smiling. So he grabbed her and shook her. She came to and asked him what was wrong. He said, why are you staring at me and smiling? She said what are you talking about i was asleep.
      He said nope. I am leaving.
      And he left and drove home.
      He told me that his grandmother had been a witch, and that when his grandfather was on his deathbed he all told them about her and the evil she had done. But he didnt go into details.
      I met this guy in 2004 when I was leaving Iraq and had to share a room with him.
      Never saw him after that.

    Thanks so much for making this video! From 2010-2016 I lived in Brentwood, just down the street from that house. Even before I knew what had happened there, that place gave me the creeps when I walked past it at night. There's a large hedgerow along the front of the house, on the Brownsville Rd. side (the house sits on the corner of Brownsville & Sceneridge Ave.). One night when I was walking past, it sounded like a big dog or some other animal was crashing through the hedge, coming towards me. I braced myself...but nothing happened. The sounds just suddenly stopped. I stood there for a minute, but never heard anything else. After finding out about the history of the house, I gathered up some of the leaves from the big oak tree, as the sidewalk was always covered with them in the fall. Unfortunately, I don't have them anymore.

      I was about 8 years old or living on the top floor of a small apartment building. I had a lot of trouble sleeping in that room, and my parents would often find me on the living room couch, or sometimes I'd even sleep under the coffee table. There was a large parking lot outside my window, so at night the lamps would illuminate my room pretty well.
      One night I was lying awake just sort of looking around my room, when I noticed motion in my doorway. I was on the top bunk in the opposite corner of the room, and watched as two cloaked and hooded figures entered and approached my bed, tall enough that they could look right at me over the top bunk. I could see through them because they didn't have a solid form, like they were drawn with crayon. TV static is another good way to put it, but I remember distinctly thinking they looked like crayon drawings that were constantly being filled in and scribbled over.
      For some reason, I wasn't really scared, one was blue and the other purple, and both had blackness in their hoods. One stood right at the edge of my bed and the other remained in the doorway for a few moments before they turned around a left the room. While I do have a very vague memory of voices, I don't remember if they beckoned me or anything but for some reason I climbed down from the top bunk and started following them. Outside my door was a hallway that led right to the living room.
      As I turned the corner the two tall beings (I had the impression they were men) were gone, but at the end of the hall in the living room in front of the family computer was a little girl, colored red. Where the figures before had blackness for faces, the girl had nothing at all, just the outline of a head and pigtails. I stared at her for a long time, and thinking back on it now I do have this vague vague memory of voices, or of impression, but I know started to feel like I wasn't safe. I passed her, went to one of the living room chairs, and sort of imagined myself in a protective bubble.
      Curled up on the chair with my head tucked in my arms, I felt like I was on the inside of a tornado and when I would hazard quick glances I could see some.. thing.. swirling around me. Before long I fell asleep, and woke up with the sun in my face, safe on the living room chair.

    As I commented on another persons comment, I’ll leave another here. I live ON Brownsville Road, only about 8 blocks away! 😳 I’ve always been fascinated by this story. Especially the curse that supposedly was placed on the whole of this Road. I do have to admit, I’ve had some serious bad luck since I’ve moved onto this Road 😢 even though I grew up just a few blocks away. II am going to book a night in the B & B. I will not try to stir up anything, even though my partner and I are deeply interested in the Paranormal; we also are interested In history and architecture. If anyone wants to know how it goes, just leave me a comment! I don’t have a RUclips page or anything, but I will take pictures and correspond with anyone who is just truly curious. I hope you don’t mind, Lady Laura, if I message you to post anything interesting about this very close to home haunting story! Thank you again! ❤

    I grew up in a haunted Victorian house. (Also a mini mansion like this) We actually had to move it and beneath our yard were human remains. The homicide squad had to come in and clear it real quick before they could proceed. This is well known to people who have lived in my city for a long time. The old cemetery had to be moved for new housing at the time and schools to be built. My question is why did the old cemetery need to be moved at all? They couldn’t have built elsewhere? When they moved it tho they didn’t move it well. There’s still bodies left behind and rumors that bodies were disrespected. There’s even gravestones still around the school and even in people’s backyards. They’re so old now tho that they’re illegible. I’ve had quite a few encounters in this house and even a couple outside of it. If anyone is interested let me know.

In a religious context it can mean soul. It didn’t mean demon in ancient greek but rather soul or spirit. It did not refer to greek deities or supernatural entities. The word just evolved into that way later after being latinized (when ai was changed to e)

I admit, I spook easily- but I have never turned and run or been scared stupid by any of it. If I do say so myself I have always stood fast.

    My boyfriend's family lives down the road from this houses location. It was really strange hearing so many familiar names, and you retained a lot of the details from his book... Or you did a lot of accurate and thorough research (cause I've never read it. )

    It's the highlight of my week when I receive an email alert for your new releases - and especially when it arrives during a quiet Saturday . Your content is amazing and I always love joining you. ♥😊
