The House That Screamed: 13 Days in Union, Missouri

This week on Twisted & Mysterious, we’re heading to Union, Missouri to discuss a house that allegedly did not believe in inside voices.In 2001, single dad Steven LaChance moved into the home with his three kids for a fresh start. They made it 13 days. Thirteen. Days.According to the family, the house didn’t just creak or settle — it screamed. A dark figure reportedly showed up. There were claims of a basement “monster.” An eyeless clown (I beg your finest pardon?). And in the basement, a full butcher’s shower, which is already enough to make us move out on principle.The landlady insisted the home wasn’t haunted — just that some people “aren’t old house people.” Which is one way to describe fleeing from a screaming house.But the story didn’t end when the LaChance family left. Another family reportedly moved in and experienced their own terrifying activity. At one point, the home even operated as a dog kennel — because apparently that’s a totally normal pivot for a house with screaming issues.And then there’s the small detail that the Vatican allegedly compiled a 156-page report about the place. Casual.We break down the timeline, the claims, the skepticism, the interviews, and the lingering questions — while being… admittedly… a little chatty in this one. Think less “polished documentary” and more “come sit with us while we process the existence of eyeless basement clowns.”Also: we are aware the microphone cuts out in a few spots. We are working on it. The house is not interfering with our audio. Probably.If you enjoy haunted house stories that make you question everything — including basements, clowns, and your housing choices — this one’s for you.Thank you for listening!
