WELCOME TO WHISPERS ESKATE. >> FROM THE OUTSIDE, THE OLD
VICTORIAN SITUATED ON THE QUIET
STREETS OF MITCHELL, INDIANA,
LOOKS LIKE ANY OTHER TURN OF THE
CENTURY HOOSIER HOME.
PATTERNED DRAPES COVER STAIN
GLASSED WINDOWS, GLIMPSES OF
WOODEN POSTER BEDS AND CRYSTAL
CHANDELIERS BECKON OF A TIME
LONG PAST, BUT ACCORDING TO MANY
PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS, IT'S A
HISTORY THAT IS STILL VERY MUCH
ALIVE.
ALIVE. >> IN 1899, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT
DR. JOHN GIBBONS AND HIS WIFE
JESSIE MOVED INTO WHISPERS
ESTATE.
ESTATE. >> WE BELIEVE THAT DR. JOHN
PRACTICED SURGERY HERE IN
WHISPERS ESTATE.
WHISPERS ESTATE. WE BELIEVE THAT THE BATHROOM,
ACTUALLY, IN DR. JOHN'S ROOM,
WAS THE OPERATING ROOM.
WE DID DISCOVER A DRAIN IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR.
THERE ARE TWO HUGE WINDOWS IN
THERE FOR NATURAL LIGHTING.
AND ALSO, THE FLOORING BACK
THERE, IT IS BLACK AND WHITE
WITH GOLD FLAKE AND BACK IN THE
DAY, THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE FLOORS
WERE BLACK AND WHITE WITH GOLD
FLAKE, HOWEVER, IT IS SUGGESTED
THAT HE SPECIALIZED IN BEING A
PEDIATRICIAN.
PEDIATRICIAN. OF COURSE, BACK THEN, THEY
DIDN'T HAVE SPECIALTIES, BUT I
THINK THAT THAT WAS A GREAT
INTEREST OF HIS.
THAT LOVE OF CHILDREN LED
DR. GIBBONS AND HIS WIFE TO
JESSIE TO ADOPT THREE ORPHAN
CHILDREN, UNFORTUNATELY A HAPPY
HOME WOULD NOT RESULT.
IN 1912, DURING THE COLD WINTER
DAY, THEIR DAUGHTER RACHEL GOT
TOO CLOSE TO AN OPEN FLAME.
A FIRE ENSUED, AND SHE DIED TWO
DAYS LATER, IN AN UPSTAIRS
BEDROOM.
BEDROOM. SHORTLY AFTER, ANOTHER DAUGHTER,
AN INFANT NAMED ELIZABETH PASSED
AWAY.
AWAY. THE DEATHS TOOK A GRAVE
EMOTIONAL TOLL ON MRS. GIBBONS.
JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER THE DEATH
OF ELIZABETH, MRS. GIBBONS
DEVELOPED A SEVERE CASE OF
PNEUMONIA AND PASSED AWAY IN THE
SAME ROOM.
SAME ROOM. IN TOTAL, SIX CONFIRMED DEATHS
HAVE OCCURRED IN THE HOME.
>> IT'S ALSO REPORTED THAT THERE
WAS A LITTLE BOY THAT PASSED
AWAY IN THE HOUSE, AS WELL AS A
GENTLEMAN UPSTAIRS IN THE
SERVANTS QUARTERS.
SERVANTS QUARTERS. BUT, AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW THE
EXACT NUMBER OF DR. JOHN BEING A
DOCTOR, HOW MANY PATIENTS
EXPIRED HERE.
EXPIRED HERE. SO WE THINK THAT THAT HAS A
CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO WHY THE
HOUSE IS HAUNTED, IF YOU WILL.
THE REASON WHY THE HOUSE IS
CALLED WHISPERS ESTATE IS
BECAUSE OFTENTIMES PEOPLE WILL
HEAR WHISPERING.
HEAR WHISPERING. NOT ONLY ON THEIR PARANORMAL
EQUIPMENT, THROUGH EVPs, BUT
JUST HEARING THEM IN YOUR EAR
WHILE YOU ARE IN HERE.
OFTENTIMES, WE WILL HEAR
SINGING.
SINGING. WE WILL HEAR CONVERSATIONS GOING
ON UPSTAIRS AS IF THERE MIGHT
BE, LIKE, A TELEVISION ON, AND
YOU CAN'T QUITE HEAR THE STATION
THAT IT'S ON, BUT YOU CAN HEAR
PEOPLE TALKING BACK AND FORTH.
AND IT HAS BECOME SO FREQUENT
THAT THE NAME WHISPERS ESTATE
WAS THOUGHT OF, AND I THINK IT'S
VERY FITTING.
VERY FITTING. >> THE HAUNTING REPORTS CONTINUE
TO ATTRACT PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATORS FROM ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. ANXIOUS TO EXPERIENCE WHISPERS
ESTATE FOR THEMSELVES.
>> I THINK THE MORE PEOPLE THAT
COME HERE, WHEN THEY HAVE ALL OF
THESE COOL THINGS HAPPEN AND
THEN THEY RETURN HOME, I THINK A
LITTLE BIT OF WHISPERS STAYS
WITH THEM, THE HISTORY OF THE
HOUSE WE DO BELIEVE IS CORRECT.
AND WE ARE ABOUT THE TRUTH HERE.
WE AREN'T TRYING TO FABRICATE
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING. AND IF WE DON'T HAVE THE
DOCUMENTATION, WE ALWAYS SAY,
LEGEND AND LORE.
>> AND THE LEGENDS HAVE GROWN TO
INCLUDE FRIGHTENING REPORTS OF
SCRATCHES, BITES, AND EVEN
GROWLS.
GROWLS. TODAY, WHISPERS ESTATES IS
LARGELY REGARDED AS THE MOST
HAUNTED LOCATION IN INDIANA.
AND AS HAS RECEIVED NATIONAL
ATTENTION AS THE TRAVEL
CHANNEL'S FOURTH MOST TERRIFYING
PLACE.
PLACE. >> THE ENTITIES COMING INTO THE
HOME HERE, I THINK, A LOT OF
THEM WELCOME YOU.
I THINK A LOT OF THEM ARE HAPPY
WE HAVE THESE PEOPLE HERE
INTERACTING AND THAT THEY CAN
COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.
SOME OF THE NEGATIVE ENTITIES
HERE, NOT SO MUCH.
IT'S A ROLLER COASTER RIDE.
IT IS THAT, INDEED.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
GOING TO EXPERIENCE, AND WHEN
YOU COME HERE, YOU ALWAYS
EXPERIENCE SOMETHING.
EXPERIENCE SOMETHING. BUT I GUESS I WOULD TELL THEM BE
OPEN TO WHAT'S IN HERE, BECAUSE
THE MORE YOU ARE OPEN, THE MORE
YOU ARE GOING TO GET -- DON'T
COME IN HERE WITH A NEGATIVE
ATTITUDE BECAUSE FROM WHAT I
HAVE EXPERIENCED, THEY DON'T
LIKE NEGATIVE PEOPLE HERE.
AND THEY TEND TO SHUT DOWN.
SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE
ENTITIES.
ENTITIES. SHUT ALL OF YOUR CAMERAS OFF,
ALL OF YOUR EQUIPMENT AND SPEND
SOME TIME WITH THEM.
YOU W
