This is the most recent episode, as of Sept 2023, and much awaited for. Steve is now assisted by Cindy Kaza (from the Howzer Files), picking up where Amy Allan left off, and doing much the same thing. Infact, Cindy's style is extremely similar to Amy's, exploring the haunted home of a well known writer and her husband.
Having watched this outstanding series since the very beginning, one thing that always amazed me was all the beautiful homes that were actually haunted. It is so strange. You usually think of the atypical haunted house, a broken down old shack, ready to be torn down. You cannot judge a book by its cover.... and sadly so true about this case.
Cindy's investigation reveals a spirit known as THE BUTCHER, who likes to put their hands on his victims, causing bruises and scratch marks. And that's for starters. There's more. Steve's interviews with the owners indicates this spirit is definately trying to kill them. The bizarre twist to this episode is that the owner's wife is an author who writes about supernatural experiences. You have to admit, that's a first for the show.
Steve's background research goes back to the 1920s. Always a red flag situation, as the longer the time span, the more complicated a case becomes. Steve discovers a horrible story about a man known as the Butcher, who was a serial killer, apparently tied to several murders of young woman who worked as bar maids at a local tavern he operated.
Steve's next stop is a local airport where he discovers two plane crashes and several deaths, and apparently the dead who are able to pass through this neighboring property. That's a real curve ball on top of the serial killer angle.
There is a fantastic piece of video footage shown during the reveal segment with Both Steve and Cindy, which shows the owner of the house on a shaking ladder, causing him to fall. Amazingly, he was not injured, but Cindy confirms it was the work of the Butcher. Steve also reports that this fiend killed as many as 20 young woman, before shooting himself.
The silver lining to this case is the persence of a grandfather's spirit who seems to be watching over the family, but it's not enough. Cindy recommends they call a medium to clense the house. The question always remains as to whether their scared clients will follow the recommendations, or if they can actually contact a suitable medium.
