When Kristen Lee bought a new home in Bellaire, Ohio, she had no idea she was purchasing one of the most haunted houses in the country. What started as odd noises and footsteps in the attic, soon became ghostly apparitions and violent attacks. Eventually Kristen learned more about the dark history of the home by conducting séances with the spirits who once lived there – and found the home may be sitting on a portal to another plane of existence.
