House of the Curious

Imagine closing on your dream home, a 1.3 million dollar house in one of New Jersey’s best neighborhoods. Little did you know that someone was watching your every move. This person sends odd letters to you, confessing that they were “put in charge of watching and waiting for [the house’s] second coming.” Taking a dark turn, the letters speak of your children, noting, “Once I know their names, I will call to them and draw them to me.”

Update: In October 2022, Netflix released “The Watcher,” a series exploring the NJ Watcher case. Link to show.

In our second story, we look at Colorado’s Stanley Hotel, how it relates to Stephen King’s classic, “The Shining,” and some of the hauntings experienced by visitors of it.

Suspended animation is the slowing down or stopping of the body’s most basic biological functions for a prolonged period of time. Think of the movie Alien when the crew members were in the Hypersleep Chamber or the story of Sleeping Beauty where she is put to sleep for 100 years, and if Captain America is more your thing then recall him being frozen in a block of ice for all that time. Currently, science is looking at ways to put our bodies into this state for medical purposes and for long distance space travel. However, what happens when we declare someone dead while they are in this state of suspended animation... horror becomes a reality for those buried alive! We’ll will dig into all of this during today’s first story.

In the mountains of North Carolina, there was a raging storm on the night of Feb 3, 1972. While the snow was piling up and the winds howled outside, a husband, wife, and their 18-year-old son were brutally murdered. This cold case broke when an author stopped by a sheriff’s office while researching for a book he was writing back in 2019. Our first story examines this case and some of the interesting details that surround it.
Our second story looks at the patron saint of Ireland, otherwise known as St. Patrick. What you may not know is that he had an interesting, and at times quite depressing life that included being kidnapped and enslaved.
We’ll dig into both stories, “Cracking a 47 Year Old Cold Case” and “The Enslavement and Life of Saint Patrick” on today’s episode of House of the Curious.

It's October, time for haunted topics here on House of the Curious. In today’s episode, we look at the real-life inspirations behind three horror movies: A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Possession, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Alfred Hitchcock said, “A glimpse into the world proves that horror is nothing other than reality.”

And that is exactly what we are digging into today. We’ll look at a mysterious syndrome that took insomnia to the next level, a haunted piece of furniture that caused chaos in the life of its owner, and a German exorcism that resulted in the two priests performing it to being found guilty of negligent homicide.
