In the seventh episode of Portals to Hell season 2, viewers are taken on an eerie journey into the Croke-Patterson Mansion. The mansion, located in Denver, was built in 1890 and has a long and sordid history, including being used as a funeral home. This has led to rumors of hauntings and paranormal activity within the mansion.
Hosts Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman are joined by Denver historian and author Phil Goodstein as they explore the mansion. Goodstein provides them with a detailed history of the mansion, including the story of Thomas Croke, a wealthy attorney who built the mansion as a gift for his wife. However, tragedy struck when one of their daughters died from meningitis at the age of 12. The family's grief was so great that they moved out of the mansion and it was later used as a funeral home.
The team begins their investigation in the basement, where they immediately sense a presence. They use various tools, including a thermal camera and EVP recorder, to try and capture any paranormal activity. They also use dowsing rods to communicate with any spirits that may be present. As they make their way through the mansion, they encounter several anomalies, including unexplained noises and shadows.
One of the most interesting parts of the episode is when the team investigates the nursery on the third floor. This is where the Croke family's daughter died, and it is considered to be one of the most haunted rooms in the mansion. They use a spirit box to try and communicate with any spirits, and what they capture on the recorder is chilling.
Throughout their investigation, the team also discovers that the mansion's past as a funeral home may be attracting negative energy. They notice that the funeral parlor's old embalming room has been converted into a bar and speculate that this may be causing unwanted spirits to stick around.
Overall, Portals to Hell season 2 episode 7 is a thrilling and creepy exploration of the Croke-Patterson Mansion. The team's use of various paranormal investigation tools adds to the suspense as they try to uncover the truth behind the mansion's paranormal activity. Fans of the show and those interested in the paranormal will definitely not want to miss this episode.
