The Congleton Building, across from the Town Square on Main Street in Beattyville has a long history. Before there were funeral homes, families had to go to the hardware store and purchase all the hinges, knobs, and wood to make caskets for deceased loved ones. Beyond a hardware store, owner Gentry Congleton, went a step further to get his funeral director license in 1933 so he could prep and embalm. Bodies were transported up a hand propelled elevator to the second floor and into a prep room. Once finished they were transported back down the elevator and into the family wagon outside. The families would then take their loved one back home for all night gatherings at homes or in country churches.

This isnt the first time Outlaw Paranormal has been in the building. They have detect tons of otherworldly activity. Learn how the investigators use their equipment to pick up readings and check out the building yourself.
