The Dead Files Season 4 Episode 14
Steve and Amy travel to Flint, one of the most violent cities in the country to help a frightened mother in her haunted house. Steve learns that a little girl named Loretta Eschenweck died inside the home in 1936 when she fell inside a hot water laundry tub. Tracing back the history of the property, Steve discovers that the land belonged to the Saginaw Chippewa tribe who were allied with the British coming from Canada to fight the Americans in the War of 1812. They would capture American soldiers and ransom them back to white representatives for money. After the war, the Indians are left high and dry and had to sell their land to the United States. They relied on fur trader, Jacob Smith who the government paid to influence them to sign the Treaty of 1819. Smith secures their land by naming his children Chippewa names into the treaty language. Their client’s property is called “Nondashemau” after Smith’s youngest daughter Maria Stockton. Amy says she sees a “demonic creature” that’s able to change shape and a young girl called “The Babysitter” she believes to be Loretta.
