In loving memory of Shawnnas Mother Holley, welcome to the Doss House of Loretto Pennsylvania. This house stands as a symbol of hope for those who believe in the afterlife, especially for Shawnna, who has turned this home into a journey of her mother's enduring legacy in the paranormal community. May everyone who steps inside discover truth, perseverance, and a belief in something greater than the present moment.
Nestled in Loretto, Pennsylvania, The Doss House, constructed in 1810, holds the distinction of being said to be the first home built on this land that once belonged to several Native American tribes, including the Shawnee, Lenape (Delaware), Asswikales, and Mingoes. This changed in 1799 when Prince Gallitzin and Charles Schwab began leaving their mark on the town. Father Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin rests in a tomb at the eastern end, while Charles Schwab’s Limestone Castle graces the western end amidst the beautiful shrines and sunken gardens of Mt. Assisi and home of the Franciscan Friars. A town full of mystery and monumental history.
At the heart of this historic town lies THE DOSS HOUSE. Interestingly, this house served as the residence for the town's dentist, doctor, under-taker and later for its sole barber, a fact confirmed by many who believe all figures still linger in the area and within the walls of this location. If you're adventurous, you might even encounter the spirit of a little girl in a green dress. Should you venture into the basement, be prepared for shadowy figures and the unsettling sound of an audible growl. The random mantle found there is equally puzzling for others as it is for us!
Exercise caution as you explore the upstairs bedrooms; there have been reports of someone being pushed down the stairs by a spirit known to repeat past actions. If you're drawn to uncover centuries of life, death, murder, and mysteries, don’t hesitate to reach out at thedosshouse278@gmail.com or check out Unique Paranormal 1.5 on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
