Who is the founder of Dayton's haunted church?

In the HGTV show 'Scariest House In America', comedian Retta will be seen touring a Dayton home that has been long associated with eerie tales. At one point, the Dayton home shown in the series was a church in Harrison Township, located within a cemetery. 

The Dayton house which was built in 1885 is now owned by two friends Jess and Brandon. The two friends have served as the owners of the spooky house for over six years now. Jess and Brandon have referred to the private residence as "spooky." They want to fix the place. 

In the episode, the viewers will witness the basement, which used to host Sunday School classes and was also the kitchen. Due to the strange atmosphere in the kitchen, Jess decided to create another kitchen on the upper floor of the house. 

In a sneak peek from the show's teaser, Retta described the house as "the highway home that lord left." Along with this, she also mentioned that the house consists of “kill room after kill room.”
