Inside this investigation

This interview brings me together with Dave Spinks and host Norine to discuss the investigation and my decision to purchase the house. The chapters locate that discussion, including accounts of earlier experiences and research into the property. This is a recap, not a new live hunt. The conversation connects our reported experiences with the research that led me to purchase the property. Watch the full exchange to distinguish personal recollection, accounts about the house and interpretations of recordings.

As you watch, keep track of who is speaking and whether they are recalling an event, interpreting a recording or answering a broader question.

I BOUGHT ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED HOUSES. After spending nearly a month investigating the Welles House, I made a decision I never expected: I purchased the property. But what did we really experience inside—and why did I want to go back? I'm Tim Wood, founder of LiveSciFi. In Episode 45 of A House Worse Than Amityville, I join host Norine on DO YOU BELIEVE, alongside paranormal investigator Dave Spinks, for a firsthand discussion of our Welles House haunting investigation in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. THIS IS AN INTERVIEW AND INVESTIGATION RECAP, not a live ghost hunt inside the property. We reveal behind-the-scenes experiences, discuss recordings and strange encounters from earlier episodes, and explain how my research into the house's history influenced my decision to buy it. During our stay, the team reported possible EVPs, shadow figures, unexplained knocks, intense physical sensations, mysterious blue lights, and incidents we believed might be paranormal attacks. We also discuss the Ouija board sessions, the so-called Hell Room, and experiences that left even longtime investigators shaken. 👻 EPISODE 45 — CHAPTERS & KEY MOMENTS 00:00 — Opening: Do You Believe and the Welles House 01:59 — I reveal that I bought the haunted Welles House 06:40 — Three loud knocks and sounds of running upstairs 10:55 — Dave recalls an EVP session, nausea, and a stairwell encounter 14:16 — A blue light and a shadowy figure reported near the house 17:08 — I describe being punched in the stomach while trying to sleep 23:43 — What we learned about reported deaths at the property 25:31 — The story of a hidden tin box behind the chimney 27:54 — Dave discovers my name written on a wall 29:35 — Discussing accounts involving Ed and Lorraine Warren 31:05 — Dave recalls the bed moving during a Ouija session 33:53 — A frightening smoke incident involving the stove 40:02 — Why I purchased the house and what I planned to investigate 46:32 — Dave describes being alone inside the house 51:45 — Hissing sounds and an unexplained shriek 56:46 — A disturbing Ouija board message: “Peekaboo, I see you” 🔥 WHY I BOUGHT THE WELLES HOUSE When we began investigating, I didn't know what to expect. Over the following weeks, the experiences we reported—and the historical accounts I uncovered—gave me more questions than answers. In this conversation, I explain why I chose to purchase the property and continue researching it. Dave shares his own experiences, including feeling physically ill during an investigation and hearing what sounded like multiple people moving through an otherwise quiet house. I also describe an incident in which I felt a powerful blow to my stomach while lying awake. We discuss stories about the home's past, including alleged deaths, a mysterious object said to have been hidden near the chimney, and accounts involving the Warrens. Some historical claims mentioned in this original discussion have not been independently verified and should be understood as investigative leads rather than established facts. WAS THE WELLES HOUSE REALLY WORSE THAN AMITYVILLE? That's for you to decide. Our goal was to document what happened to us and examine possible explanations—not to ask viewers to accept every strange sound or experience as supernatural proof. 👻 READ THE WELLES HOUSE HISTORY & HAUNTING: https://livescifi.tv/2021/05/welles-house-haunting-worse-amityville/ 🔴 SUBSCRIBE TO LIVESCIFI: https://www.youtube.com/@livescifi Which moment from the Welles House investigation disturbed you most?
