A historic house that bends time and captures spirits. The Doss House of Loretto emerged from heartfelt grief when Shauna Rigsby lost her mother to cancer in September 2023 after a devastatingly brief seven-week battle. What started as a way to honor her mother's unfulfilled dream of owning an Airbnb transformed into something far more profound – a paranormal destination where the boundaries between our world and others seem remarkably thin.
Built in 1810 and likely serving as one of the original meeting houses for the town founded by Prince Galitzin, the Doss House sits across from a basilica in a deeply Catholic community. Its walls have witnessed countless lives as it functioned variously as a barbershop, doctor's office, dentist practice, and even an undertaker's establishment. But what makes this location truly extraordinary are the unexplained phenomena that defy conventional understanding.
Investigators have documented security cameras spontaneously resetting to December 31, 1969, a visitor's smartwatch completely failing to register her existence during her time in the house, and phones entering SOS mode upon leaving the property. Objects move on their own, disembodied voices echo through empty rooms, and shadow figures dart through doorways. One particularly compelling incident involved a phone smoothly pivoting on its own while a blindfolded investigator sat nearby, followed immediately by equipment responses indicating an intelligent presence.
For Shauna and her wife Danielle, operating the Doss House and their paranormal team "Unique Paranormal 1.5" represents more than just ghost hunting – it's a healing journey. As Shauna poignantly shares, "Doing all of these things has become my grief journey." The name of their team itself reflects their humble aspiration to embody even "half of what my mother was in this field," carrying forward her values of inclusivity, respect, and genuine community-building.
The ethos of the Doss House stands in refreshing contrast to the sometimes rigid structures found in paranormal investigation. Here, the focus remains on having meaningful experiences, bringing people together, and maintaining a profound respect for both the living and whatever might exist beyond our understanding. As Shauna beautifully articulates, "If you go into something with true, pure intentions and stay steadfast in that, the sky's the limit."
