Haunted M's of Philly: Morton Morton House | Unexplained Cases (2022)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: the birthplace of America. Home to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall - where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed. So much history and some say a lot of ghosts. The Unexplained Cases team traveled to the City of Brotherly Love, to investigate several paranormal hotspots known to be haunted by the spirits from the Revolutionary War…of famous business owners and politicians…some really crazy dressed apparitions…and possibly a pirate, too! In our third of three investigations, not a lot of places have a word in their name twice but the Morton Morton House in Norwood, Pennsylvania - just outside of Philly - isn’t like most places. This building was constructed way back in 1750 by Morton Morton. Yes, that is his name. He was the great grandson of Marten Martenson. Morton Morton was the first cousin to John Morton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Over the years the building has gone through many renovations. The Morton Morton house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We certainly have established it is old and historic, but what about haunted? Donna claims it is, so we wanted to experience it for ourselves. Gear in hand we began the investigation. Upstairs we captured a couple of hits on our equipment. Unfortunately, nothing too substantial. Donna from Philly Ghost Hunt, used her rods to try and get some answers about the ghosts that haunt the house. But, it was downstairs where things got a little crazy. Donna says legend has it that something is down in this dark .and dusty basement - a murderer from a past life. Some even believe it could be an evil pirate. If it were true, that makes for a great story. It didn’t take long into our investigation before things got weird. We quickly learn that a pirate tried to put the moves on a young woman, she rejected him and in a rage he killed her. For his crime, he is forced to exist in the location he killed her and not to interact with any other spirits. Sounds like hell to me. He also tried to interact with us. First, I was touched on the hand. Rick then thought he encountered spider webs that weren’t there. Lastly, Donna began uncontrollably coughing which she attributed to him. Besides a pirate, do revolutionary war soldiers or former homeowners haunt this legendary location outside Philadelphia? We’d need more time to determine who but without a doubt there is energy within the building’s walls that seems to be from another dimension.

Unexplained Cases | Historic & Haunted: Hotel San Carlos

Written by:  Darren Dedo Case Filed: 10/31/21 Executive Producer:  Rick Garner   The Hotel San Carlos in downtown Phoenix is historic and many say this grand old place is haunted. It opened in 1928 -- before it was the location of Phoenix’s first school. Even before that, ruins of an ancient Hohokam Village. A little cool factoid: The hotel can be briefly seen in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho opening shot, as the camera pans the then-skyline of downtown Phoenix. Over the years the San Carlos has hosted political leaders and movie stars like Marilyn Monroe and Spencer Tracy. But, the most famous guest or I should say ghost -- was 22-year-old Leone Jensen. The story goes that Jensen checked into room 720, and later jumped to her death from the top of the San Carlos. She was supposedly distraught about her abusive boyfriend, who was a bellboy at a nearby hotel. Some say she was pregnant and was pushed to her death. The one thing most people agree on when it comes ...

Unexplained Cases | Baltimore Street Murder House

Written by:  Darren Dedo Case Filed:  06 /20/19 - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Executive Producer:  Rick Garner Battlefields, homes, pubs, and restaurants. Almost anywhere you go in Gettysburg you will come across a place that is supposedly haunted. It is very easy to understand why. Tens of thousands of men lost their lives here in this small Pennsylvania town in July of 1863. We visited one unassuming and haunted location that was here during the Battle of Gettysburg and was a casualty collection point just like many buildings were used for back then. It would make sense that the spirit who sets off ghost hunting gadgets in this Baltimore Street home fought and died in the Civil War. But, this resident spirit has no connection to the Battle of Gettysburg. Our guide for the evening, P aranormal Investigator Robert "Night Monkey" Simmons  with Gettysburg Paranormal Association / Gettysburg Ghost  Tours . He  shares with everyone the details.  “...

Drones and Orbs: Our Government or Other Dimensions? | Unexplained Cases (2025)

Written by:  Darren Dedo Case Filed: 1/28/25 Executive Producer:  Rick Garner   On Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at White House press briefing, President Trump released a statement through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt that the drones seen in New Jersey were authorized to fly by the FAA for research and various other reasons. But she did not elaborate about what that research is. The President also said many of these drones were also flown by hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. On social media, the majority of people are saying they don't believe it. Another night in Edmonds and another round of drones circling the town north of Seattle. This time I pulled out my phone and videoed multiple drones making a big loop around my home. With blinking lights of all colors, the drones moved slowly across the sky, but much lower Sunday evening. It continued over Puget Sound. A single orb slowly falling in the sky with drones flying around i...
