White Hill Mansion Is Haunted

Some buildings seem to draw out the dead. Why are some buildings such as the White Hill Mansion such an attractive spot to spend the afterlife? Maybe it’s because of work and energy that was expelled at these locations in life. Robert Field inherited the property that would later be known as The White Hill Mansion from his father in 1757. As a successful merchant, Robert built a comfortable mansion on the property. Robert married Mary Peel in 1765. The marriage would be cut short by death, as Robert drowned under mysterious circumstances January 29, 1775.

War comes to White Hill Mansion

Mary lived at White Hill Mansion throughout the Revolutionary War and thanks to her cunning intelligence, she helped the property survived intact. In 1797 Mary signed over the property to her son, Robert III. Unfortunately, he lost the entire property due to mismanagement in 1804.

The famous property has changed hands many times since the original owners. It has been occupied by inventors, doctors, and a State Senator. In 1923 an upscale German Restaurant often visited by the elite of the area was opened in The White Hill Mansion. In 1972 the restaurant was sold. It was twice sold until a man planned to demolish the mansion. Luckily the Borough stepped in and bought the building, giving it a second chance at life.

A new life for the mansion

A restoration project of The White Hill Mansion began in 2004. Over 30,000 artifacts were uncovered on its grounds, as well as several building foundations and evidence of Native American occupation. Could this be the evidence as to why paranormal activity occurs to this day? Are native American spirts unhappy with the inhabitants of their land?

Many spirits are still said to haunt the halls of The White Hill Mansion. Today we learn who they are.
