Travel Channel investigated the dark history of the Slokum House Theater, uncovering a violent land dispute involving Amos Short and the Hudson's Bay Company. The creator connected historical accounts of harassment and death to modern-day paranormal sightings of an angry doctor and residual spirits of children. The most significant takeaway was the resilience of Esther Short, who maintained her family's legacy despite brutal treatment and the mysterious loss of her husband at sea.
