A home in Ohio has become a hotspot for those seeking a miracle after several people claimed the home 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 their young adopted daughter.
Wise claimed that she developed a terminal illness and was sent home from the hospital to die in the “depression shack”, as her home was formerly known.
“So he prayed because that was all he could do,” said Karen Sigler, CEO of the nonprofit Rhoda Wise Home & Grotto.
Wise said she was then “visited by Jesus Christ,” who supposedly sat in a wooden chair next to her bed and cured her illness.
A home in Ohio has become a hotspot for those seeking a miracle after several people claimed the home cured them of terminal illnesses.
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 that she developed a terminal illness and was sent home from the hospital to die in the ‘depression shack’, as her home was formerly known.
Wise said she was “visited by Jesus Christ,” who supposedly sat in a wooden chair next to her bed and cured her illness.
After word spread about the miracle, people flocked to the house to look around the house and see the chair where Jesus supposedly sat.
‘Jesus came and sat on a chair next to his bed. She asked him, “Have you come for me?” And he said, “No, your time hasn’t come yet,” Sigler said, “A month later, he came back to St. Teresa, and she was the one who put her hands on Rhoda’s abdomen and her abdomen was completely healed.” .’
After his miraculous recovery from cancer and the lethal infection he suffered following the removal of a 39-pound tumor, he developed stigmata, which many Christians believe to be the spontaneous bleeding in the body corresponding to the wounds of Jesus’ crucifixion.
After word spread about the miracle, people flocked to the house to contemplate it and see the chair where Jesus supposedly sat.
The public sought spiritual guidance and reporters from national newspapers and magazines were sent to write about the Ohio miracle house.
People wanted to witness the “heavenly visitations” Wise received until his death in 1948.
“During one of the visits, Jesus blessed the water (in a large jug) and told Rhoda that those who used this water would be rewarded for their faith,” Sigler said.

Rhoda wasn’t the only person to experience shocking recoveries inside the house.
Dr. Mark Shoag, who was diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma, and his wife Betsy shared their miracles with fox 8.
“To tell you the truth, as a doctor I felt like there was no way out of this hospital,” Dr. Shoag said. “I had trouble breathing and couldn’t walk.”
“He had 48 tumors,” said Betsy, who is also a respiratory therapist. “Forty tumors were in the lung and the remaining tumors were in the liver and once tumors appear in the liver, they only have months to live.”
A friend spoke to Rhoda Wise’s wife, and she decided to bring an article of clothing from her husband, who was too ill to go home himself, to place on the chair that ‘Jesus sat on.’
After not being able to walk or get out of bed for four months, Shoag was suddenly able to walk to the supermarket.
He then went to Canton to visit the house himself and six years later, Shoag is almost completely recovered.
“It was literally a miracle,” Betsy said. “He is very well, he is receiving treatment and he is happy.”
“Six years later,” Dr. Shoag said, “my lungs are stable, the only place I have a tumor is my liver.” And I don’t know if I’d be here if I hadn’t gone to Rhoda Wise. I want to say that for me it has been a miracle.”
Another person who benefited from the miracles 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 welcomes all, regardless of faith. The ‘Miracle House’ has even become a five-star Ohio tourist attraction.
“I had a vision of Saint Teresa, and she was telling me at one point, tell them you’re going to get better in a moment, tell them you’re going to get better, and she was smiling and the whole time rose petals fell,” Andrea said, ” and I have never had to go to the doctor for any kidney disease.’
Bobbi McKnight suffered from double vision, which miraculously disappeared after visiting the house.

‘If you need a moment with God or maybe even a healing, come here. As the sign says, the name doesn’t matter here,” Ron R said in a review on TripAdvisor.com.
“A visit to Rhoda Wise’s house is amazing,” said Kara B on TripAdvisor.com. ‘ Mrs. Wise’s story is amazing and beautiful. Miracles have happened here. The beatification and canonization processes are currently underway.’
Visitors can return home with a bottle of holy water from Rhoda Wise’s home as a souvenir.
