Join JC and Kiki on a historical, haunted journey of the #Germantown jewel known as Grumblethorpe! With a bloodstained floor and the heartbreaking story of a young girl, Grumblethorpe is steeped in both history and paranormal events.

Addendum: After this episode, we came across a letter that was written by Alexander Andrew, General Agnew's servant, in which he clearly states that Agnew was killed by a volley of gunfire and NOT by a lone sniper, Hans Boyer.
