According to the home’s owner, Alice, strange things began happening as soon as she moved in. Doors opening and slamming on their own and items mysteriously disappearing and then reappearing became her new normal. Initially, she learned to cope with the bizarre happenings, but that changed when she saw "a large tunnel of light going from the ceiling to the floor." After that, Alice fled the home and sought the help of paranormal professionals.
For the last 10 years, several paranormal investigators have been studying the home, and within recent years, began recording their findings, which are portrayed in the documentary, The House In Between.

Paranormal investigators John Bullard and Brad Cooney were the first to start studying the home, with Bullard beginning his investigation about a decade ago and Cooney joining four years later. Together, the two men have been meticulously investigating the home, hoping to solve one of the most disturbing haunted house cases. Bullard and Cooney eventually called in Steve Gonsalves and Kendall Whelpton, who are most known for their work on the show Ghost Hunters, to document their findings in The House In Between. Never before has a haunted house been continuously studied for a 10-year period, so the documentary is definitely a paranormal game changer.
