Why the Cage has stayed quiet
The direct answer in this video is that Amy's Crypt has not been withholding The Cage for no reason. Amy and Jarod say the silence has been deliberate because they have spent the past year and a half, nearly two years, working on renovation, restoration, research, and a set of memorial projects connected to the house and its history. That is the core of the update: not a single reveal, but a slow build toward a version of The Cage that can be shared properly.
The house itself carries weight before any investigation begins. Amy frames The Cage as a notoriously haunted property in St. Osyth, England, tied to the former village lockup and the wider history of the St. Osyth witch trials. The video does not treat that history as background decoration. It treats it as the reason this house matters at all. For Amy and Jarod, buying the property was not only about paranormal access; it was also about bringing some life back into a place they believe is deeply entwined with local memory.
That is why this update feels broader than a standard progress report. Amy says the project has changed how they understand the paranormal and how they will approach future investigations. The house is not just being prepared for content. It is being shaped into a place where history, memorial, and investigation overlap.
A memorial that changes the tone of the project
The most significant reveal in the video is not a ghost story or a new piece of equipment. It is a plaque.
Amy and Jarod say they commissioned and installed a memorial in Coffin Alley, next to The Cage, to honor the victims of the St. Osyth witch trials and the wider witch persecutions in England during the 16th and 17th centuries. They describe the memorial as the first of its kind in St. Osyth. According to them, it was developed with input from the council, a local historic society, a local museum, historians, and local witch covens.
What stands out is the care they say went into not naming specific victims. Amy explains that while Ursula Kemp is the name most often associated with the trials, there may have been other victims and other stories that never surfaced. The choice to keep the plaque generalized is meant to avoid erasing anyone who has not been fully documented. It also broadens the memorial beyond one famous name.
The visual details matter too. Amy says the plaque includes rosemary sprigs as symbols of remembrance and protection. That detail gives the memorial a quieter, more reflective purpose than a simple historical marker. It is not only about identifying a site. It is about acknowledging loss.
Jarod also expands the meaning of “victim” beyond those who were executed. He points out that the harm extended to children, family members, and anyone left to absorb the stigma and grief after an accusation. That idea shapes the tone of the entire update. The memorial is presented less as a tourist object and more as a correction to what has long been missing in the town’s public memory.
Turning research into something visitors can see
The plaque is only one part of what Amy and Jarod say they have been building. Another major project is a portrait they have commissioned and named Ursula.
They are careful to say they do not know exactly what Ursula Kemp looked like. The portrait, then, is not meant to be a literal reconstruction. It is a symbolic image created with the help of intuition and an artist in Germany who specializes in artwork styled for the period. Amy and Jarod say they wanted the portrait to feel respectful and historically rooted, but also human and accessible.
The choices described in the video are purposeful. They imagined Ursula as a common woman rather than a noble portrait subject. They also chose to depict her in white, as a sign of innocence and vulnerability. The result, as they describe it, is not just a portrait of one accused woman but a face that can stand in for many. That is the point: a reminder that witch-trial victims were not one strange category of people, but ordinary women and, in some cases, men and families caught in a destructive system.
They say the portrait will hang inside The Cage and become a centerpiece of one room. They also mention two additional memorial projects in progress: one focused on child victims and another described as a kind of ancestral altar. The video does not fully reveal those projects, but their inclusion reinforces the way this haunted house update keeps moving between paranormal identity and historical responsibility.
What the house has reportedly been doing back
There is also a familiar paranormal layer to the update, though Amy and Jarod do not lean on it for spectacle. Instead, they describe a series of experiences that seem to have unfolded alongside the research and renovation.
They mention doors opening and closing, latches moving, strange noises, odd smells, objects appearing, disappearing, and reappearing, plus voices heard and things seen. One anecdote involves a teaspoon moving in the kitchen while guests were in the house. They also say some of the most unusual experiences have been tied to a sense that The Cage has been guiding them toward certain research discoveries or timing.
That idea shows up several times in the video. Amy and Jarod talk about recurring signs and synchronicities connected to the house, and they say some references to the cage, witches, and related themes appeared in their lives before they ever bought the property. The video does not try to prove that claim. It presents it as part of their personal experience of the house, and as one reason they feel such a strong connection to it now.
This matters because the update is not only about evidence or sightings. It is about how a place can become psychologically and emotionally active for its owners, especially when they are already invested in paranormal work. The Cage, in their telling, is not passive. It seems to participate.
When the Cage will open to investigators
For viewers mainly wondering when they will get inside, the answer is direct: Amy says yes, The Cage will open for overnight stays and paranormal investigating later this year. The plan is to release a fuller documentary in October, followed by bookings sometime around November.
The intended format is not a brief public tour. It is closer to an overnight museum or an Airbnb-style stay, with room to investigate and room to experience the property as a historic site. Amy and Jarod say they have invested heavily in making the house functional for teams and smaller groups, including measures aimed at reducing contamination and making debunking easier. They also say the property will be furnished with artifacts so visitors can engage with it as a museum as well as a haunted location.
That hybrid idea seems to be the real long-term vision. The Cage is being positioned as a place people can book, study, and spend time in, not just a place to watch from a screen. The renovation is not just aesthetic; it is logistical and interpretive.
The video also notes that there is a new website for The Cage, where some of the research material is being shared, along with a countdown toward opening. Amy and Jarod speak as if the project is finally moving from private work into public access.
Why this update matters beyond one haunted house
What makes this update work is that it does not reduce The Cage to either a spooky house or a heritage project. Amy and Jarod are trying to make it both. They are restoring the building, presenting research they say has uncovered previously unseen documents and photographs, and building memorials that respond to the history around the witch trials. At the same time, they are preparing the property for paranormal visitors who want an overnight investigation.
That combination gives the update a different kind of energy. The house is still haunted in the way their content always frames it, but the bigger story is about what people do with a place once they decide it should be remembered rather than just visited.
