Based on the tale by Dale Jarvis, "Lady at Number 16" tells the story of two sailors in the 1800s that help a young lady back into her mansion. They return a few hours later to realize that their night was not all that it had seemed, and it may have had a more sinister twist than expected.

THE LITTLE CHURCH THAT COULD (Documentary, 2022)

Based on the true story from Marion Counsel, when all hope was lost and with no one else to ask, a silk parachute falls from the sky almost as if it was a gift from above, being the answer one family was looking for.
