The Holzer Files

Episode 1

The Phantom Hand

Thu, Oct 29, 2020

It didn't seem like Shane, Cindy, Dave, and even Hans were aware those killings on Kingston Row, known as the Torso Killings, had a famous victim. That victim was The Black Dalia. I am not convinced it was a rail employee. I think the FBI should have looked at a passenger that would frequently take the car that traveled back and forth from Cleveland to Pennsylvania (?). A railroad worker wouldn't be "just passing through." The FBI should have checked passenger data. Of course he would have used a fake name. Maybe there was handwriting, a signature, that could have been compared. Just a thought.

Dave, Cindy, and Shane re-open legendary ghost hunter Hans Holzer's unusual case at the Howard Lodge, a stately manor in Maryland that possesses its former residents through haunting dreams. LONG DESCRIPTION: In 1969, Jaqueline Emery called Dr. Holzer out to investigate her home in Sykesville, Maryland, also known as the Howard Lodge, a Georgian mansion from the 1700s. She reported hearing a sick child breathing, seeing mists around the house, and feeling a presence on the second floor landing. Hans conducted his first investigation solo, but after a startling experience, he planned on returning with a medium to try and get to the bottom of the haunting. Unfortunately, when he tried to return, Jaqueline Emery changed her mind, deciding that she didn't want him back at the house. She was happy with the haunting and felt no need for further investigation. Now, 50 years after Hans Holzer first encountered the spirits of Howard Lodge, his private case file is reopened, as paranormal investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza, equipment specialist Shane Pittman - along with new insights from researcher Gabe Roth and Holzer's own daughter, Alexandra - return to Sykesville to uncover the mysteries that Hans was prevented from solving. A new key to the mystery comes with the chilling discovery that multiple former residents of Howard Lodge have been haunted by non-stop dreams of the old house.
