    We are off for Memorial day! Enjoy the newest episode of Critical Incidents! Paranormal researcher Eric shares chilling encounters, from full-body apparitions to time slip theories and a haunted Civil War mansion he now owns—The Knight House. Dive into ghost hunting myths, the science behind hauntings, and why spirits may be more human than we think. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this episode will haunt your curiosity long after it ends. The Knight House - We have had many paranormal experiences in the short time we have owned the house. We have heard disembodied voices, phantom footsteps, weird noises, knocking, and experienced other phenomena. Below are several videos that caught things that we can't explain. We will update this page with more audio and video as we capture the unexplainable and the paranormal! Throughout the house we have installed cameras that are constantly monitoring the house and property. The cameras are set to detect sound and motion and to notify us when we are not on the premises.
