The Thing in the Furnace Room | Into the Paranormal

On this episode, we dig into the chilling tale of a Southern Victorian mansion with a dark and unexplainable energy buried deep in its basement. One woman recounts her childhood in the old Drayton House—a place where beauty and dread coexisted in unsettling harmony. While the attic windows inspired uneasy comparisons to horror movies, it was the furnace room that carried a legacy of terror, with an evil presence that seemed to grow stronger with time.  

As the story unfolds, a seemingly random trip to retrieve Easter baskets turns into a life-altering moment—one involving a falling axe, a narrowly avoided tragedy, and a final decision to never return. What happened in the shadows of the furnace room? And was it ever truly just a room at all? What you’re about to hear is not a tale of imagination—it’s a memory too vivid to forget.
