Every day Chris Pirt, a five-year owner and operator of the Demon House alongside his wife, walks around a certain corner at the mansion, he nervously turns on a flashlight. 

Travel Channel hosts recently visited the Carroll Township house for some paranormal investigating and found some readings in that part of the mansion. 

“I knew something was there,” Pirt said. “I just didn’t know what.” 

The Demon House will be featured on an episode of “Portals to Hell,” hosted by Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman, that will air at 10 p.m. tonight.
