The Reliquarian House Ghost Hunt & Sleepover
A Victorian Mansion Deep in the Pennsylvania Forest. One of the Oldest Homes in McKean County. A House the Kane Family Never Really Left.
In the small borough of Kane, Pennsylvania, tucked into the ancient forests of the Allegheny high country, a tall Victorian mansion sits at the end of a long flagstone walk. Its mansard roof and central tower rise above the treeline. Its wraparound porch faces empty woodland. Most of its original furnishings remain in place. And according to decades of residents, visitors, and paranormal investigators, it has never stood truly empty.
The town of Kane was founded in 1863 by Civil War General Thomas L. Kane, commander of the famed Pennsylvania Bucktail Regiment and one of the most prominent military families in the state. The house that now bears the name “The Reliquarian” was built by Elisha Kent Kane as a gift to his wife Zella. He called it Silverside, because he considered her the silver side of every storm cloud. It remained in the Kane family for generations.
Inside the walk-in safe, every deed to the property is still preserved. Original maps of the town as it was being built. Century-old photographs, letters, and family correspondence. Much of the original furniture remains in the rooms it was first placed in. This is not a restored house, and it is not a museum recreation. It is a Victorian home that was lived in, loved in, and lost to the living, while quietly holding onto everything and everyone that had ever passed through it.
In August 2023, the property was purchased by artist, author, and philanthropist Jessica Lark, who renamed it The Reliquarian House and opened its doors to artists, writers, and musicians in residence through the Elysian Sanctuary program. Shortly after she moved in, the house began to make itself heard.
THE SPIRITS OF THE RELIQUARIAN HOUSE
Activity at The Reliquarian spans every floor and every room of the house. Residents, overnight guests, and investigators all report the same recurring phenomena, independent of each other, often without knowing the house’s history before they experienced it.
Figures in the Doorways
The most frequently reported experience at The Reliquarian is the sensation of being watched from the hallways. Guests see the outlines of people passing silently past open doorways. When they turn to look, the doorway is empty. The figures never linger. They never speak. They simply walk by, as though still going about some private business of their own.
Cabinets That Open. Lights That Decide.
Throughout the house, cabinet doors open on their own with no one nearby. Lights turn themselves on and off in rooms that have sat empty for hours. Footsteps have been heard pacing the upper hallways and the staircase when the house was known to be empty. Objects move between rooms overnight, reappearing in places where they were not left.
The Spirit Hunters Investigation
In October 2024, The Reliquarian was investigated by Spirit Hunters, a Native American-founded paranormal team made up of three generations of the White Eagle family. They had visited countless historic sites across the United States. After their night inside the house, they returned a single verdict. It was one of the most active places they had ever encountered.
They reported intimate, personal interactions with the spirits of the house. They described a presence that wanted to speak, that had things to say, and that treated the investigators less like intruders than like long-awaited guests. Their findings were clear. The house has something to say. And it chooses who listens.
The Forest Beyond the Porch
The activity is not confined to the walls of the mansion. The surrounding forest, part of the ancient Allegheny high country, carries its own layer of unexplained phenomena. Disembodied voices. Movement between the trees. Figures watching from the edge of the treeline. The Reliquarian does not stand alone. Whatever lives inside it has company in the woods.
Generations of Witnesses. One Consistent Story.
Through every generation of Kane family descendants, through every caretaker and owner since, and through every guest who has passed the night under its roof, the reports have remained the same. Footsteps. Figures. Movement. A house that seems to watch you as closely as you watch it.

We investigated the USS William A. Irvin in Duluth MN. It was a great experience, everyone was super friendly and helped whenever they could! if you are debating on signing up. Just do it! we had alot of fun!
Investigated Mortuary Manor in Toledo with my daughter. The guides were extremely knowledgeable about the equipment and different techniques to attempt to communicate with spirits. The owner was very very nice and was actively trying to help in any way he could. We had a very small group of 5 so we had the run of the place. It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend to anyone interested in the paranormal. We definitely had some activity during the night. The experience made me want to try out other locations if I can. There were a few graduation parties going on in the area the night I was there so, I’d like to go back and see what I can find when it’s a little more quiet in the beginning of the night but it was a great experience!
Bought this as a gift to my brother. I went in not expecting much but had a great time at Valerie Hill winery. We caught some pretty cool stuff and he had a great Estes session. Highly recommend.
Everything was well organized and smooth. There was no gimmick, it started off as a quiet night paranormal wise, maybe because there was a long game of soccer going on right outside. Nothing to be done about that. Mid-Orange Correctional facility is now also part sports complex. The guides demonstrate tools used for investigating and even though the night started quiet, they didn’t hype up every little sound. They debunked sounds and explained what to look for. By 1am my husband and I ran into a group that came with their own equipment and had returned to a spot they had previously had activity. They welcomed us to join them and my EMF meter flew to red pretty steadily. They brought out the dowsing rod and it pointed at me directly so I was asked if I would hold it. I have never really understood how people don’t move the rods themselves. When I held it I realized there is a sleeve on the handle. So you’re not touching the rod. The rod was very responsive and corresponded with the EMF consistently for a few minutes. Anyway, what I liked most is it seems like the community cares. Everyone in the group checked in on my comfort. It was my favorite part of the night.
My son and I had a truly unforgettable experience at the Rock Island Roadhouse. The team that ran this event were all very knowledgeable of the history of the location as well as all of the equipment that they use. There were I think around 50 people total that attended and they broke us out into 4 separate groups. The first 4 hours of the night that were spent in the group setting taking turns with each team member didn't have much activity going on, however, once we were able to explore on our own the last 2 hours, we had some AMAZING activity! We even picked up what sounded like two whispering words in response to our questions! I highly recommend this group!
Did the Battleship North Carolina on April 3rd. I've already booked again for August. The hosts (Both physical and spiritual) were amazing. Recorded several EVP's throughout the night. Some very strong responses with dousing rods. Always skeptical about them, but there were strong responses, especially when we started talking to them like the military members they were. At one point I asked if they wished they had women on Battleships, he replied with a strong "Yes" and my Ghost Box replied with the word "Seductive". He really liked one of the young ladies with us. Turns out she was 18 and he was 20 when he died. Can't wait to do this again!
Just did a tour with this group on the Battleship North Carolina. Absolutely wonderful experience!! My husband and I will definitely be booking again. The leaders are super nice, respectful, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!!
Just finished our VIP overnight at Hotel Metropolitan in Paducah! Ms. Venita and Julie were the absolute best! They both made sure we knew what we were doing with equipment, and gave us a fantastic guided tour and explained the history so well. Venita especially made an impression on my group. She is super friendly and definitely knows what she's doing. Can't wait to see her again! I wouldn't want anyone else!
My dad, my sister-in-law, and I stayed at The Metropolitan for a paranormal investigation, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of history — but what made our stay exceptional was the incredible staff, Julie and Venita. These two amazing women went above and beyond the entire time we were there. They walked us through all the investigation equipment, helped guide us throughout the night, and made us feel completely comfortable and right at home. Their hospitality was top-notch — from the snacks and drinks they provided to the delicious hot chocolate they made for us during our late-night exploring. Their kindness, patience, and passion for what they do turned our stay into something truly special. If you’re looking for a place filled with charm, comfort, and staff who genuinely care, The Metropolitan Hotel is the perfect choice. Our overnight stay exceeded every expectation. Highly recommend! I wouldn't want anyone else to tour with!! 👻✨🍫
