The Wizard Clip Haunting

from The Parsonage Files Hosted by Richard Birk

What if you heard something in your house…and knew it wasn’t anyone you could see? In this episode of The Parsonage Files, we tell the true story of The Wizard Clip Haunting, one of the strangest paranormal stories from early American history. In the 1790s, in what is now Middleway, West Virginia, a dying stranger asked for a Catholic priest. He never got one. Then the Livingston family started hearing it. Clip… clip… clip. Clothes, sheets, and curtains were found cut with the same strange crescent-shaped marks. No one saw who did it. And it went on for years. This is a story about fear, faith, strange history, and what people do when something happens that they cannot explain. Subscribe for more true stories from The Parsonage Files.
