AN EVENING IN A DARK PLACE
in seaRCH OF SINISTER STRANGERS AND MALEVOLENT SPIRITS
PRESENTED BY TROY TAYLOR
Supernatural events can be unnerving under even the best conditions, but what about when they become downright terrifying? For the past 300 years of American history, there have been many accounts of angry spirits, vengeful hauntings, and even incidents of phantom attackers that seem to have no explanation at all. They are stories that will make your hair stand on end!
What causes these bizarre events to occur? Where do these phantom figures go and how do they disappear without explanation? Although often dismissed as “mass hysteria,” these events often involve hundreds of people and even entire towns – all of them chasing after anomalous figures that shouldn’t exist – and yet they do!
During this unsettling evening, we’ll be offering chilling accounts and delving into haunted history:
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, towns across America were visited by “black ghosts,” shapeless, often malevolent black creatures that terrified people and physically attacked them.
The Bell Witch – when a ghost actually killed one of the people involved in the haunting
The horrific true crime cases that were linked to Ouija boards and the supernatural!
The Pennsylvania house believed to be infested with a demon!
What really happened in the house from “The Conjuring?”
The Mad Gasser of Mattoon may be one of the most famous sinister strangers of all time, but many don’t know that the Gasser – or someone just like him – also struck in Virginia 11 years earlier!
And more!
This won’t be an ordinary night of “dinner and spirits” – it’s going to be a night you won’t soon forget and one that will have you leaving all the lights on when you go to bed at night. Pray that nothing like these events ever happen to you!
