Paranormal In Pennsylvania

This week we’re heading to Philadelphia to explore the eerie history and paranormal claims surrounding the iconic Divine Lorraine Hotel. Originally designed by Willis G. Hale and opened in 1894, the building began as luxury apartments. Its most fascinating chapter began in 1948, when it was purchased by the International Peace Mission Movement, led by the controversial Father Divine. Revered by followers as a living god, Father Divine transformed the hotel into one of the first racially integrated hotels in the United States, creating a space centered on equality and affordable hospitality. Today visitors report doors opening and closing on their own, objects mysteriously moving, and carts rolling through empty hallways. Shadowy apparitions have also been seen. And perhaps strangest of all? The reports of phantom music drifting from Father Divine’s former penthouse… played backwards.

What happens when a building lives a hundred lives—and refuses to let any of them go? Once a family home, then a tavern, later a furniture store, and even a county morgue, North Country Brewing has seen it all—and some say, it still holds onto it. Visitors and staff alike have reported eerie encounters: shadowy apparitions caught on camera casually taking a seat at the bar, the unmistakable sound of dragging footsteps echoing through empty rooms, and the lingering scent of cherry cigar smoke with no one in sight. Is it just atmosphere… or something pouring over from the past? This video contains music from Shutterstock, licensed by Splice video editing app.

Come take an educational journey with us through the haunted universities we've discussed in seasons past! While each of their histories vary greatly, today, they all share a commonality: wide reports of paranormal activity. From a mysterious intruder in the dorms to an extremely haunted auditorium, this episode is full of spirits who inhabit these stately locations.

Join Paranormal in Pennsylvania as we investigate one of Pennsylvania’s most infamous haunted locations: Hill View Manor. This time, we’re joined by our friends from Crypts and Corks for a night of exploring the unknown. Throughout the investigation, we experienced unexplained EMF spikes, intriguing spirit box responses, and other moments that left us questioning who might still be roaming these halls. And the best part? We captured it all on film. Once home to hundreds of residents, Hill View Manor has long been known for reports of shadow figures, disembodied voices, and lingering spirits. Did we make contact with any of them during our investigation? You’ll have to watch and decide for yourself. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and join us for one spooky night!

This week we’re diving into the history and hauntings of the elegant—and eerie—Sayre Mansion. Built in 1858 by Robert Heysham Sayre, this Gothic Revival mansion once stood as a symbol of wealth and influence in Fountain Hill. But it’s not just history that lingers here… Guests and staff report playful—and sometimes unsettling—paranormal activity. There are also darker, more mysterious encounters. Today, the Sayre Mansion embraces its haunted reputation, offering guests a chance to experience both luxury and the paranormal—including special Halloween stays and ghost tours.

We traveled to Pythian Castle in Springfield, Missouri for a late-night ghost hunt—and we weren’t alone. Joined by the team from HauntedUS, we explored this massive and historically heavy location known for its long corridors, interrogation rooms, and unsettling atmosphere. Throughout the investigation, we experienced phantom footsteps echoing through empty halls and moments of intense, hard-to-shake feelings that followed us from room to room. One of the most intriguing moments of the night came when the founder of HauntedUS captured a strange photographic abnormality inside one of the interrogation rooms. The image doesn’t have an easy explanation and sparked debate among the group about what—if anything—we were interacting with. Watch the investigation and decide for yourself—was Pythian Castle trying to make its presence known?

Hidden deep within the Pennsylvania Wilds are the eerie remains of the Curtiss-Wright Testing Bunkers—abandoned Cold War-era facilities once used in an attempt to develop nuclear-powered jet engines for the United States Air Force. Constructed in the late 1950s in the remote Quehanna Wild Area, these concrete-and-steel bunkers were designed to test experimental engines that could theoretically keep military aircraft airborne indefinitely. Before the project could fully take off, the contracts were canceled in 1960, leaving the bunkers abandoned in the middle of the woods. Today, the structures remain standing—covered in graffiti, surrounded by wilderness, and filled with unsettling echoes. Because of the site’s mysterious history and hidden location, locals sometimes refer to it as Pennsylvania’s “Area 51.” Rumors persist that more than nuclear testing happened there, and some even speculate the towering fences weren’t meant to keep people out, but to keep something in. Visitors describe the bunkers as deeply unnerving. Others report feeling watched while hiking nearby, as though unseen eyes still monitor the abandoned facility. Some believe the spirits of former engineers may still linger, continuing their work long after the project ended.

Join us as we explore the stunning landscapes of Moraine State Park—where natural history and the paranormal collide. In this vlog, we take you through the park’s origins, from its formation during the last Ice Age to the creation of Lake Arthur, and how the land transformed into the scenic destination we know today. But beneath the beauty lies something a little more mysterious. We dive into reported hauntings throughout the park, sharing local legends, eerie encounters, and the unexplained activity that visitors have experienced over the years. From peaceful lake views to chilling ghost stories, this vlog has a little bit of everything—history, nature, and the unknown.

Dating back to 1745, this former tavern has hosted everyone from British troops preparing to march on Fort Duquesne to George Washington and his army during the Revolutionary War. With centuries of history packed into one building, it’s no surprise this place has a haunted reputation. While enjoying dinner, we talked with staff about their personal experiences—and they did not disappoint. From phantom footsteps to doors moving on their own, flickering lights, and sightings of children and shadowy soldiers, the stories here are as rich as the history. We also share our own impressions of the space, what it feels like to be inside such an old and active location, and whether we think the activity could be paranormal—or something more explainable. Is this just a historic inn… or are there still guests who never checked out?

This week we’re heading to Gettysburg to explore two chilling locations tied to tragedy, heartbreak, and the echoes of the Civil War — the haunted Spangler properties. Our story begins with the Spangler Farm, which had been converted into a field hospital. After the war, residents reported strange activity at the farm. Clanking sounds, like a metal bucket, echoed through the night. Witnesses looking from the second floor claimed to see a figure in a long white coat shuffling toward the old well and back again. Many believe this apparition could be the surgeon — perhaps still tending to soldiers long after the battle ended. Just a short distance away lies another eerie location — Spangler Spring at the base of Culp's Hill. While the area saw brutal fighting, its haunting is tied to a different tragedy. Legend tells of a woman who planned to run away with a married lover. When he never arrived, she took her own life near the spring. Today, witnesses report seeing a woman in white drifting through the woods, bending down as if searching for something — or someone — she never found. These chilling accounts have even been featured on the History Channel, cementing the Spangler properties as some of Gettysburg’s most emotionally charged hauntings.
