Dr. Seaman was granted permission to use the site by US Steel, the largest company in Gary at the time. Up until his expulsion from the church in the late 1920s due to his promotion of cultural variety, Dr. Seaman was the pastor of the church.

The tales about the specific object or person that haunts the brick house have evolved over the years since it was built in the early 1900s. The most widely accepted theory is that Chaonei No. 81 is haunted by a suicidal lady who turned ghost, leading to enigmatic disappearances.
