In October 2003, Ben and Jaimie Shea, along with their young children, moved into an 18th-century home near Lamar, Arkansas. Described as peaceful and picturesque, it quickly became anything but—marking the beginning of a nightmare straight from a horror film.
The family’s initial excitement gave way to inexplicable occurrences: footsteps echoing in empty hallways, disembodied whispers, and objects moving on their own. What began as minor disturbances soon escalated into terrifying confrontations—doors slamming shut, lights flickering violently, and an ominous presence that seemed to watch their every move .
As the supernatural attacks intensified, the Sheas realized they were dealing with something far more sinister. According to paranormal investigators featured in the episode titled “Where Evil Lurks” (Season 4, Episode 6 of A Haunting), the entity was believed to be a young ghostly boy named Seth, but they soon grew convinced a far more malevolent force was at play.
Desperate for peace, the family participated in Ouija sessions that allegedly confirmed Seth’s presence. But when their 11-year-old daughter nearly suffered a serious car accident—which they attribute to spiritual influence—they knew they couldn’t stay.
They enlisted help from seasoned paranormal investigators. An intense spiritual cleansing followed, designed to banish Seth and cleanse the house. It reportedly worked—only temporarily. Before long, a second, far darker presence emerged, prompting the Sheas to sell the home and evacuate for good.
The Story Continues to Chill
The tale has inspired renewed interest:
A new YouTube documentary retelling their story recently went viral, reigniting debate over the true events.
A podcast episode on Unexplained Archives dives even deeper, featuring interviews with Jaime Shea herself as she recounts the terror and its lasting impact.
Who Were the Sheas?
The family lived in the McKennon–Shea House—built in 1913 in Dumas, Arkansas, and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Genealogical records show the home stayed in the Shea lineage until Ben and Jaimie moved in, just months before the haunting began.
Why It Still Haunts Us
What makes this story linger is its layered terror—from restless child spirits to darker demonic forces. Viewers are drawn not just by eerie photos and freaky sounds, but by the realness of one family’s unraveling and desperate search for deliverance.
