Can a house or the land be haunted? This in-depth documentary, The House In Between, asks, “Are we dealing with ghosts or multi-dimensional events?”
The House In Between
Everyone who has been following me on my blog or on Biff Bam Pop knows by now that I have as many dead friends as I do the living. I have been seeing the dead since I was a toddler, and I have investigated many homes. So, when Andy Burns asked me to watch The House In Between, I was ready to critique. Was this a true haunting, or a scam?
The Owner
Alice Jackson is a real-life homeowner who is living in Florence, Mississippi. She had a custom-built home built for her in the 1990s. The ground was previously a meadow, but records show another house once stood on that property. During construction, Alice began experiencing paranormal activity. The haunting continued until Alice was forced to leave her home. This is where it gets quite interesting.
Neighbours were interviewed, and other investigators were called in to determine whether they were dealing with ghosts or a natural phenomenon caused by the limestone and water beneath her property. Several investigators, including Brad Cooney, Brian Riley and his Mississippi Paranormal team, Amy Bullard, John Bullard, and Steve Gonsalves from Ghost Hunters, were invited to investigate the house. The teams witnessed doors opening, objects moving, lights turning off and on, cold spots and strange noises.
A psychic/medium, Jill Morris, was called in, and she channelled on a murder that was committed many years ago. What Jill Morris picked up on her visit was later confirmed by several historians. The man who committed the murder might have been the one haunting the house. Search dogs were brought in, and their behaviour confirmed what a neighbour reported feeling as a child while on the property. There had been bodies on the property.
Equipment
The investigators used all the equipment normally used in investigations, and they set up cameras everywhere in the house, so plenty of activity was caught on camera. But the source of the haunting was still a mystery. Could the supposed haunting be something more mysterious? Did the noises and lights have to do with extraterrestrials or a multi-dimensional connection?
Conclusion
Every investigator did exactly what I would do if I were investigating Alice Jackson’s home. I would call in the town’s historians because the land the house sits on can be haunted, and I would call in the scientists, which was done. How does limestone affect the atmosphere of a home built on top of it?
Who knew, right? Limestone can indirectly cause strange sounds in a house through real physical and geological processes, as far as the strange lights…no scientific proof, but I think there need to be more studies.
And my favourite part of the documentary was about multi-dimensional worlds somehow touching parts of the property. That concept is that our universe might exist on a 3D membrane and that what we call ghosts are living beings from an adjacent dimension leaking through a temporary tear or portal between membranes.
Now I kind of like the dimensional portal theory myself because of a personal experience with my former house. For sure, I had ghosts in my house who made themselves known. They were quite noisy, but half of them were family, and they were noisy in life as well, but we had a huge old oak tree in the back yard.
My spider senses were always on full alert whenever I was in the backyard at night. I never felt alone, but I couldn’t say positively that I was sensing a soul that had crossed over. One day, while working on a blog for Andy, I glanced at my husband’s computer. He had security cameras running 24/7, and I saw people. Lots of people in our backyard! On the camera, they looked ghostly. I could not see them with the naked eye, but on camera, it looked like Grand Central Station. Men, women, children…walking, bustling as if to catch a train.
I invited my friends, a group of mediums and psychics, to check out the yard and the tree. I showed them the video, and one of my friends went outside to investigate. He had this strong urge to hug the tree. He felt the tree was a portal to another dimension, which is exactly the conclusion I had come to. I no longer live in the house, and I have learned recently that the tree is scheduled to be cut down. Will that break the connection between worlds? I will need to follow up on that mystery.
Getting back to The House In Between, I believe that Alice might be dealing with a portal of some sort, but I don’t know if the investigators will ever find out for sure. I will say this: Directors Steve Gonsalves and Kendall Whelpton did an excellent job showing us how an investigation works, and that ghost hunters do so to find the truth about our world and what comes after. This is the only documented ten-year-long continuous paranormal investigation.
You can watch the documentary on Prime. And remember, not everything that goes bump in the night is a ghost…it might just be a visitor from another universe.
