Paranormal Lockdown 2.1 "Monroe House" Review

Eddie, the owner of Monroe House was looking for a quick sale, however he bought more than he bargained for, especially when he didn't know the story of the house or its haunting.  Have found that's often the case in the majority of houses for sale and bought by people unknowingly, it's not revealed by the sellers.  Even in the UK, there's a questionnaire where the sellers must list anything and everything about the house and yet I know many people shy away from asking that question of whether it's haunted or not.  Which of course they can answer untruthfully.  Am still waiting for that case where someone sues for exactly this, buying a haunted house.

Anyway back to the investigation, since something was trying to attach itself to Nick's back from the outset on day 1, it finally did catch up to him in the crawl space.

When Katrina asks why it keeps leading them to the kitchen, the woman's voice sounds as though she says "strangling me."  As I heard it at 25.33 and the man says "you shut it".  Oddly since in the other room Nick felt he couldn't swallow and had flies in his throat, finding it hard to breathe and making him leave that space.  Eddie also saying how other people have felt that way too.  There was a afire at the house, was that before or after the body was buried there. Smoke from a fire would also cause choking, making it hard to breathe, almost akin to strangling.

At 24.45 "she says again, "come into the basement." Before the man says, "send help."

26.19 a voice comes through and says "I can feel it" in a Southern-ish accent after Nick asks, "can you feel that?" When he feels the ground shaking, which eerily was also felt by the security man outside.  That doesn't often happen.  But great credibility.

Once again there was so much going on in this episode.  Wonder if they checked Nick's back after he was clawed in the crawl space.  Also it's disturbing that these remains were there for all this time, belonging to a poor restless spirit who's being prevented from talking and getting eternal peace, most likely by her assailant.  It took for Nick and Katrina to investigate and actually for Nick to go into the crawl space and be subjected to being pulled back and maybe even scratched to prevent him from unearthing the mound.  At least a lot of what they encountered was validated by Eddie.  Good on Eddie to do this, at least now it's out in the open and can hopefully lead to some sort of closure for that spirit.   These stories are very sad and on top of that there's the unknown 'demonic entities' looking to feed off the energy and give out its own negativity too.  Day 3 as Nick predicted "tomorrow is going to be worse" and it was for him in that crawl space.

As Katrina has to go check on Nick (again) their investigations are so exciting to watch, not least of which they always have each other's backs (no pun) and there's always common sense analysis, no exaggeration and OTT nonsense!
Was this just a shadow across the camera or was it something that moved, this clip looks like it was added for some reason, but no explanation.  Before Nick sleeps.
Was trying to upload a video clip of it but it didn't work.  Technical issues!! Hmm, wonder why? (Will try again later.)  Sorry you'll have to watch that bit!
Here's the video a bit of a haphazard edit if it was that, or did something more the camera?

29.52 when Nick's sleeping, the man asks: "is this all?  With the woman replying "I'm here."

Another gruelling episode to watch and can only imagine how draining it was on Katrina and Nick once again to spend 72 hours there.  But they have to and also make some sort of headway there too. It's a shame the history of the Monroe House isn't very extensively documented, would like to know more about it.  Especially the unexplained spontaneous fires in the basement, an attempt to hide evidence or is there some other general or paranormal explanation for this.  As Nick said "we have more questions than answers"  still even after their investigation.

So much of the "evidence" that these shows have is always asking us viewers to take their word for it and never or less hardly ever shown as cold hard proof. Its always a knock heard just off camera or footsteps upstairs or a tiny thrown object coming in screen from again.. Just out of view. I mean I've even seen it where an investigator received a text message from "the other side"" It is always things any person could do with the magic of television and relative ease. Would that be deceptive? Yes but after all it is a t.v. show, right? That is what they try for right? Them Ratings.a REAL investigation could go on for hours without so much as a peep and yet here these guys are getting class A Evp's, intelligent responses, scratches, and even quickly possessed. All in one episode. I notice how one never stays that way and is "cleansed" before shows over. Unfortunately a great show that once was, is no more, precisely for that reason. Being to real and that's not what people want to see. That's why I like Nick and Katrina. For those reasons exactly. And them finding those bones reinforces a skeptical mind into believing why ghost are hanging around and not moved on to a "better" place. And its because there's unfinished business.

I believe Eddie has something to do with it cause Nick goes back and a voice caufhc on his box says it's Eddie.
And Eddie is a bit weird through out all the investigations always asking questions Asif he knows somtsomething, guilty sortofs
