“I ain’t afraid of no ghosts.” - Ghostbusters, Ray Parker Jr.
Ghosts don't require your belief to exist.
Terry McKenzie and his wife didn't believe in ghosts when they acquired a historic residence in need of updating. Once they began spending time restoring the house and then moving in, they had changed their mind. The clues they got about the house being occupied were not subtle.
He now talks about living in an extremely haunted house. Again, the activity started shortly after they started work on the house. His wife didn't take it too seriously because he experienced it first. That changed when she began to experience the paranormal stuff too. A believer now, she does not stay alone in the house overnight.
The atmosphere changes at night.
Terry documented some of the furnishings for insurance purposes. He took a photo of an antique dresser with a mirror in an empty room. The developed picture clearly reflected images of two people in the mirror, a man and a woman – dressed in period clothing. Holy grail for a ghost hunter. Difficult to explain or to deny. Intimidating for the current living occupant(s).
The home has been a featured stop [outdoor] on the Halloween Ghost walk. I toured this home when it was on the Weston 2018 Christmas Homes Tour. Description of the homes on the 2023 tour list is on the Facebook Page. Here is the Candlelight Homes Tour site.
Show previously aired on KCMO AM. Original interview post date 1/18/2018.
