The story began when a chance online listing led the couple to the house’s grand keyhole arch—a portal to its otherworldly charm. Ignoring skeptics, they moved in on a cold November day, only to be greeted by mysterious phenomena. That very night, Ted awoke to a friendly, glowing figure at the foot of the bed, believed to be the spirit of one of the home’s first owners… audiences will join in on the journey of determining who this friendly ghost is.
The house continued its magical connection: a hidden book featuring a character named “Ted,” a forgotten set of skeleton keys dating to 1892, and a doorbell that began ringing after decades of silence. Even a lantern gifted to the house was revealed to have belonged to its original architect.
Through Ted’s meticulous research and viral storytelling, the lives of past residents have come alive. Among them is WWI veteran John Briggs, whose unmarked grave will soon bear a military stone thanks to Ted’s efforts. The neglected tomb of the mystery ghost was also restored, ensuring her legacy endures.
