Mystery of Ohio's miracle house where thousands gather to be healed – with one man given six months to live and 48 tumors in his body claiming terminal cancer is now CURE
An Ohio home has become a hot spot for people looking for a miracle after several people claimed the house cured them of terminal illnesses.
Reports of the astonishing events began in 1939, when Rhoda Wise lived in the house at 2337 25th St. NE in Canton with her alcoholic husband and young adopted daughter.
Wise claimed she developed a terminal illness and was sent home from the hospital to die in the “depression hut,” as her home was previously called.
“So she prayed because that was the only thing she could do,” said Karen Sigler, executive director of the nonprofit Rhoda Wise Home & Grotto.
Wise said she was then “visited by Jesus Christ” – who reportedly sat in a wooden chair next to her bed and healed her illness.

Reports of the astonishing events began in 1939, when Rhoda Wise (pictured) lived in the house at 2337 25th St. NE in Canton with her alcoholic husband and young adopted daughter.
Wise claimed she developed a terminal illness and was sent home from the hospital to die in the “depression hut,” as her home was previously called.
Wise said she was 'visited by Jesus Christ' – who reportedly sat in a wooden chair next to her bed and healed her illness
After news of the miracle broke, people flocked to the house to view the house and see the chair where Jesus supposedly sat.
“Jesus came and sat on the chair next to her bed. She asked him, “Did you come for me?” And he said, 'No, your time has not yet come,' said Sigler, 'a month later he came back with St. Therese, and she was the one who put her hands on Rhoda's belly and her belly was completely healed. .'
After miraculously recovering from her cancer and the deadly infection she suffered following the removal of a 39-pound tumor, she subsequently developed stigmata – which many Christians believe is the spontaneous bleeding on the body that corresponds to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus.

The public sought spiritual guidance, and reporters were sent by newspapers and national magazines to write about Ohio's miracle house.
People wanted to witness the “heavenly visitations” that Wise received until her death in 1948.
“During one of the visits, Jesus blessed the water (in a large jar) and told Rhoda that those who use this water would be rewarded for their faith,” Sigler said.

Rhoda wasn't the only person to experience a shocking recovery at home.
Dr. Mark Shoag, who was diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma, and his wife Betsy shared their miracles with Fox 8.
“Honestly, as a physician, I felt like there was no way I could leave this hospital,” Dr. Shoag said. 'I had trouble breathing, I couldn't walk.'
“He had 48 tumors,” said Betsy, who is also a respiratory therapist, “40 tumors in his lungs and the remaining tumors were in his liver and once you get tumors in the liver they only have months to live.”
A friend told the woman about Rhoda Wise – and she decided to take a piece of clothing from her husband, who was too ill to go home himself, to place on the chair where 'Jesus sat'.
After four months of not being able to walk or get out of bed, Shoag was suddenly able to walk to the grocery store.
He then went to Canton to visit the house himself – and six years later, Shoag has almost fully recovered.
“It was literally a miracle,” Betsy said. “He's doing great, he's getting treatment and he's happy.”
“I'm six years later,” said Dr. Shoag, “my lungs are stable, the only place I still have a tumor is the liver. And I don't know if I'd be here if I didn't go to Rhoda Wise. I mean, for me it's been a miracle.”
Another person who benefited from the wonders of Wise's humble home was Andrea Kissel-Conti, who visited the house when she was five years old and suffering from an “incurable kidney disease.”
The house is free to visit and welcome to everyone, regardless of religion. The “Miracle House” has even become a five-star tourist attraction in Ohio
“I had a vision of St. Therese, and she said to me after a while, tell them you will get better in a while, tell them you will get better, and she smiled and all the time rose petals were falling,” said Andrea, “and I've never had to go to the doctor with kidney disease.”
Bobbi McKnight suffered from double vision, which miraculously disappeared after she visited the house.

“If you need a moment with God or maybe even healing, come here. As their sign states, denomination doesn't matter here,” Ron R said in a review on TripAdvisor.com.
“A visit to the Rhoda Wise house is incredible,” said Kara B on TripAdvisor.com. ' Mrs. Wise's story is wonderful and beautiful. Miracles have happened here. The process for beatification and canonization is currently underway.”
Visitors can take home a bottle of holy water from Rhoda Wise's home as a souvenir.
