MYC Mayor Adams says Gracie Mansion is haunted

Club-going Mayor Eric Adams is a man who likes to boogie. Now he also apparently believes in the boogeyman.

Adams turned his attention from the Bronx Bombers to the Manhattan boo-ers as he broke news in the Yankees press box during Tuesday’s game: Gracie Mansion is haunted. 

“I don’t care what anyone says, there are ghosts in there, man,” Hizzoner told Yankees announcers Michael Kay and Cameron Maybin, who invited him into the booth after the mayor tossed out the first pitch. Adams laughed while confirming he sees stuff moving around and hears footsteps in the stately 223-year-old country house that became the official mayor’s residence in 1942. 

“Listen, they’re creeping around,” he said.

If the mansion is haunted, that would be news to historians, ghost hunters and former employees, who told The Post they aren’t familiar with stories of spirits, hauntings or undead people lurking around the People’s House.

“Absolutely not, I never heard of such idiocy,” said Anna Maria Santorelli, who worked as a chef and event manager at the mansion under mayors David Dinkins, Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg. Santorelli, who sometimes pulled 19-hour shifts feeding the mayor and guests, told The Post she never heard one story of a bump in the night during her many years there. 

Adams is not the first inhabitant of the house to mention ghosts though: Former first lady Chirlane McCray said during a Halloween interview in 2017 that she’d witnessed some unusual activities, saying “there are times when doors open and close by themselves, and the floorboards creak as though someone is walking through the rooms.”

20 Haunted Airbnbs that you can try to stay at overnight

If you enjoy watching scary movies, attending Horror Nights at Universal Studios, or love everything spooky in October, then you'd enjoy staying a night at a haunted Airbnb. Airbnbs have become more popular to stay in than hotels nowadays as they oftentimes offer a better discount since they don't incur extra fees like hotels do, according to Investopedia. The exciting thing about Airbnbs is that they're designed and set up differently from one another. You never know what you're going to get aside from what's shown in the online photos.

It could be a bit nerve-wracking to stay in a haunted Airbnb at first, but if you respect the home you're staying in and don't upset the ghosts, they'll leave you alone. Many of the Airbnbs have a couple of things in common when it comes to the style of the homes: They're typically decorated with unique wallpaper and include wood furniture, floral patterned bedding, and wood flooring. They also boast historical charm and some friendly ghosts.

Meatloaf's final appereance will be on "Ghost Hunters"

Meat Loaf spent the final months of his life doing what he loved with the people he adored.

Just four months before the "Bat Out of Hell" rocker died at age 74, he made one of his final television appearances on an upcoming episode of Ghost Hunters.

While some fans would be surprised to see Meat Loaf on the long-running series, the musician is actually no stranger to the paranormal.

In 2009, he joined the Ghost Hunters on an investigation, thanks in part to his longtime friendship with TAPS member Jason Hawes. Since then, Meat Loaf has worked with the TAPS team on multiple investigations.

The new episode, which is set to air on discovery+ on Feb. 12, follows Meat Loaf and the TAPS team as they investigate an old farmhouse in Tennessee, coined "The Haunted House on the Hill".

"Rumors of terrifying activity have plagued the property for decades, but the new owners want to reassure the community that their home doesn't harbor dangerous entities," discovery+ wrote in a press release of the episode, which was filmed in September 2021.

On Friday, Travel Channel, which is owned by Discovery, Inc., released a preview of the episode on their Facebook page.

Sorry I haven't been on here in a while, been dealing with cancer, but I will start publishing again soon.

The hospital was not haunted, I even asked the nurses and doctors.  

 

I was treated at Dr. Philips Hospital in Orlando, Florida. What started out as a simple colonoscopy, became 3 hours later had Emergency Surgery. They were able to get it all out and they tested 18 different polyps (they were all negative). I'm doing much better,..but the Chemo is freakin' brutal.

Paranormal activity caught on video at haunted Texas hotel (video)

SEGUIN, Texas – The historic Magnolia Hotel in Seguin which is rumored to be haunted has new evidence that spirits are active inside its walls.

Erin Ghedi, who co-owns the hotel with her husband Jim, captured some serious movement on their cameras around 10 p.m. Saturday night.

In a video Ghedi posted to Facebook, which can also be seen in the video player above, a ball can be seen rolling across the floor, along with tiny rem pods that only light up when they’re touched.

“The most exciting thing is watching the shadow figure enter the room on the top left corner by the door. It goes under the table,” said Ghedi.

She told KSAT that she can tell several spirits are in the room at the time of the recording because the ball moves, in addition to a shadowy figure that enters the room on the left at the same time a dress on the right is ruffled.

“That is our children’s room where all of our little spirits enjoy playing because of all the toys,” Ghedi said. “This was definitely sweet Emma because she is the one who enjoys rolling the ball.”

Ghedi said she thinks the shadow figure is a spirit named Mrs. Read who watches over the children.

The story of little Emma Voelcker isn’t for the faint of heart. “Emma is the little girl who was murdered in her own bedroom in 1874 while she was sleeping. Her friend Mrs. Helene Faust was also blinded in the same attack when a man, assumed to be Mrs. Faust’s husband, Wilhelm Faust, struck them both with an ax,” said Ghedi.

Creepy ghost caught in abandoned care home in tthe UK (video)

Urban explorers received the fright of a lifetime after spotting a mysterious disappearing figure while perusing an infamous, abandoned nursing home in the UK. Caters News footage of the nightmare-inducing moment has gone viral online.

“Things like that are bound to give you a cold shiver down your spine,” said South Yorkshire’s Matt Nadine, who had encountered the bone-chilling sight after sneaking into Liverpool’s notorious Mossley Manor Care Home with his pal Andy Thompson. Dubbed the nursing home “from hell,” Mossley had housed dozens of senior citizens — including some with disabilities and dementia — before it was forced to close in 2015 for employing criminals and keeping patients in squalor.

The spine-tingling two-minute clip begins innocuously enough with the two adventurers, who go by the name Finders Beepers History Seekers on YouTube, exploring the moldering interior of the dilapidated building — like any garden-variety ghost-hunter show.

All of a sudden, the camera pans to a dark figure above them at the top of the staircase. The eerie entity darts to its right, upon which Nadine scrambles up the stairs to discover that the “paranormal” peeper has inexplicably vanished.

Despite jacking up the pair’s adrenaline, Nadine initially didn’t feel the ghostly gawker was “anything spectral, more like a homeless person or another explorer,” he said.

The adventurer changed his mind after finding that the only thing in the direction in which the figure moved toward was a wall with a hole too tiny to escape through. It also led to a steep drop-off from the top floor of the freaky facility.

“[T]here was no way anybody could’ve got back across the top of the stairs without Andy seeing as I ran upstairs, and as the footage shows there was nowhere for them to go,” Nadine said.

People in quarantine lockdown are reporting more ghostly hauntings

Coronavirus is spooky enough — but try living through the lockdown in a house that’s haunted.
The unlucky residents of homes believed to have ghosts and ghouls rattling around say they have no way to keep themselves socially distant from the spirit world — and have been subjected to an extra dose of paranormal activity during the coronavirus quarantine.

Believers say they’re experiencing everything from books flying off shelves to creepy “cold brushes” of air and pets behaving strangely.

“The more I’m stuck in this house, the more there’s a feeling,” said Kurt Schleicher, 56, of Tampa, Fla., who has been forced to stay at home during coronavirus in the notorious house where killer Victor Licata slaughtered his parents, three siblings and the family pooch in 1933.

“You notice all of these weird [supernatural] things when you normally wouldn’t. And there’s so much time to think about how scary they are.”

Schleicher told The Post he’s been trying to share the home peacefully with its spectral occupants amid the lockdown.

 “I guess you could say I’m getting to know my roommates,” he said. “They left this earth in stressful way — they were murdered while they slept — and their time was cut short, so I understand where they’re coming from.”

Schleicher, who bought the abode because he was a “non believer,” now says he may have been dead-wrong that ghosts don’t exist.

Ghosts almost ruined the new Foo Fighters Album

Foo Fighters have claimed that the recording of their tenth album was disrupted by mischievous ghosts.

The rock giants decamped to a 1940s house in Encino, California, but immediately realised the “vibe was off” as their instruments became out of tune and tracks they recorded were mysteriously deleted.

“When we walked into the house in Encino, I knew the vibes were definitely off but the sound was fucking on,” said Grohl. “We started working there and it wasn’t long before things started happening. We would come back to the studio the next day and all of the guitars would be detuned.

“Or the setting we’d put on the board, all of them had gone back to zero.We would open up a Pro Tools session and tracks would be missing. There were some tracks that were put on there that we didn’t put on there. But just like weird open mic noises. Nobody playing an instrument or anything like that, just an open mic recording a room.”

He continued: “And we’d fucking zero in on sounds within that. And we didn’t hear any voices or anything really decipherable. But something was happening.”

It was not until later, when Drew saw the images he had taken enlarged on his computer, that he noticed something in one of the photographs did not add up.

“On bringing them up on my computer, I was going to edit them a bit, but noticed the strangest thing - figure at one of the windows, who I swear was not there when I arrived.," he said.

"I have not edited this photo in any way. It is exactly as it came on the camera,” he added on a post to Facebook.

The "legally" Haunted House is for sale again Upstate New York

A “legally” haunted New York house is on the market again.

Former owner Helen Ackley — who lived in the Queen Anne Victorian at 1 LaVeta Place in Nyack, from the 1960s to the late 1980s — publicly asserted the presence of various poltergeists who hailed from the Revolutionary War era and regularly shook beds, slammed doors and traipsed the halls with their phantom footsteps.

Her home, which dates back to the 1890s and fronts the Hudson River just 25 miles northwest of Manhattan, is about to list for $1.9 million with Nancy Blaker Weber of Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty.

It has a spooky history, sure, but also a litigious and star-studded one.

It started when Ackley put the allegedly possessed property on the market in 1989. When she began the process of selling the 15-room, single-family dwelling to Wall Street bond trader Jeffrey Stambovsky, she failed to disclose the spectral situation within.

In a lawsuit that would make headlines around the globe and set a precedent for future real estate transactions, Stambovsky sued Ackley over the deliberate omission and fought to obtain his deposit while backpedaling out of the purchase.

Then, in 1991, New York’s Supreme Court ruled that the home was officially haunted and, in favor of Stambovsky, decreed that Ackley had the responsibility to disclose the property’s apparent apparitions to future buyers.

Man photographs a ghost at a famous Texas Theatre (video)

AUSTIN, Texas — It's not even fall yet in Central Texas, but this spooky story is already haunting the KVUE newsroom.

Pianist Chad Lawson was performing at The Paramount Theatre in Downtown Austin Sunday when he decided to stop and snap a couple pictures from the stage after soundcheck.

But it wasn't until he got back to his hotel that he made a chilling discovery – the figure of what appears to be a woman floating in the stairway of an otherwise empty theater.

"These photos were taken as we had finished our soundcheck last night at Paramount," said Lawson. "As we were exiting the stage, I stopped to take a picture of the hall as I do with every show. Nothing out of the norm. Three quick shots (as if you were counting out loud 1-2-3), put the phone in my pocket and then headed back to the hotel."

But, in one of those three quick photos, a strange figure can be seen in the stairway.

"Once at the room, I began going through picture filters and to share one of them on social," said Lawson. "That’s when I noticed the figure in the mezzanine. I must confess it did freak me out a bit, especially as the figure is not present in the first photo."

At that point, he decided to do a little research on ghost stories at the theater. A quick Google search returned some eerie stories, including an old KVUE article about spooky sightings at The Paramount.

It specifically mentions sightings of a woman in a white dress who was seen roaming the aisles on the mezzanine.

That's when he decided to reach out to the Paramount itself, asking if a staff member might have possibly been on the floor around the time he captured the images.

Boat Captain claims to have caught the Loch Ness Monster on sonar

A BOAT skipper has captured an incredible sonar image which he claims shows a 25ft-long Nessie lurking deep beneath the waves.

Mike Bell captured the remarkable image while he was taking a group of tourists for a trip on Loch Ness on June 27.

The sonar picture shows the bottom of the loch, a fish – and a long, thin object about 115ft (35m) below the surface.


When the 24-year-old circled and took readings at the same spot the object had disappeared, tending to rule out a log or other inanimate object.

Mike, from nearby Drumnadrochit, had just finished explaining the story of Loch Ness and the castle on the water when a tourist spotted the anomaly on his sonar.

The image shows a the sonar device with 101 metres at the top left hand corner indicating the total distance to the bottom at that point.

On the right hand side the device is going down in increments of 20 metres and on it about 15 metres there is a big blip which suggest a big fish.

However, at 35 metres there is a long zig-zag line suggesting a very large object, which Mike believes could be the Loch Ness Monster.

Man claims to have captured the Legendary "Ogopogo" lake monster on film (video)

A south Okanagan man is convinced he’s captured the most conclusive piece of evidence yet of the legendary and elusive lake monster in the Okanagan known as the Ogopogo.

Jim La Rocque was enjoying his mother-in-law’s lakefront property with his two children in Kaleden, B.C. on June 1 when he says he noticed an inexplicable wake on Skaha Lake.

La Rocque scrambled to record the mysterious ripples breaking through the lake’s glassy surface.
His son was wading on a paddle board nearby.

“Eventually he turns and sees a flipper come out of the water and hit the water, and that’s when he… turned around and started coming back in,” La Rocque said.

The longtime Okanagan resident said he couldn’t believe his eyes.

La Rocque believes he witnessed a giant, serpentine creature swimming across the lake with at least seven fins paddling in sync.

He estimates it was at least 36 metres (120 feet) long.

Ghosthunters capture shadow spirit at a haunted theatre (video)

Ghosthunters in Great Yarmouth believe they have captured paranormal activity at St George's theatre.

A video posted by Ghosted UK on their YouTube channel shows a number of silhouettes walking through the corridors next to the entrance of the theatre.

Members of the group including Tim Johnson, Annabelle Barnes and Amanda Esherwood said they were excited by the discovery at their Paranormal event last month.

Mr Johnson, 51, from Caister, admitted he wasn't sure what the shadow figures were but has described them as "unexplained paranormal activity".

"I haven't got a clue what they are but it definitely isn't the shadow of people because you would have seen somebody walk in front of the window," he said.

"It is really exciting and we want to go back again to explore the building further.

At the minute it remains unexplained."

Mr Johnson said the group which was set-up in January 2019 uses a variety of high-tech pieces of equipment to help with their investigations.

The state-of-the-art kit includes night vision cameras, motion detectors, and voice recorders.

Michigan couple claim they caught an evil ghost on their baby cam (video)

A young couple in Michigan claims that their home is possibly haunted by a malicious ghost after their daughter appeared to have three deep “purple scratches” on her face. They also believe they have captured the poltergeist on their nanny cam.

Now, they’re ready to move out.

Heather Brough, 25, and her fiancé, Josh Higgins, 30, set up the camera after they discovered the purple scratches on their one-year-old, Lily. They believe what they captured on the camera can only be described as a ghost.

Upon reviewing the footage, the couple believes they saw a male figure walk quickly past Lily’s crib, as she pops up and watches him move through the room, before the alleged spirit vanishes in midair.

According to the Daily Mail, a paranormal investigator, called in to look into their claims, confirmed their home was haunted.

The couple currently resides in Higgins’ mother’s guest house in Highland, Michigan. According to the mother, Kris, before the couple moved in, an elderly lady lived there. Tragically, she lay with a broken hip for “a very long time” before she was found dead at the bottom of the stairs. Then, her “schizophrenic brother” lived in the home until his death a few years later.

Florida family claims to be haunted be a ghost (video)

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. - A Lehigh Acres family said they are being tormented by several ghosts haunting their home.

Elizabeth Lightfoot said the nightmare first began when the family moved into their 7th Street West home in February.

“I don’t want to talk to it. I don’t want to communicate with it. I just want it to get out, but it doesn’t want to get out so we have to move," Lightfoot said. 

Lightfoot said the haunting episodes were mild and not as frequent at the start. The haunting episodes consisted of loud noises and items being shifted around the house, but Lightfoot said it quickly became violent.

“It broke our TV and our blender. I had to tie my cabinet shut. It even threw a knife at me," she said. 

“I don’t even want to go anywhere by myself in the house."

Home security camera captures the ghost of an Atlanta Mom's late son.

A grieving mum believes her home CCTV captured the ghost of her dead son in her kitchen after a 'transparent' figure triggered her camera sensor.

Mom-of-two Jennifer Hodge had been in bed watching TV with her daughter Lauren, 21, when she received a notification on her phone reading 'person spotted in entryway' last week.

When they opened the image, they saw a male figure 'beard and all' that looked just like their son and brother Robbie, who died two years earlier of a drug overdose.

Estate agent Jennifer, 57, claims she is still 'freaking out' after seeing the eerie figure last week - but finds comfort in believing it's a sign her son is at peace.

Jennifer, from Atlanta, Georgia, US, said: "It's just insane - I'm blown away. It's just crazy.

"I was laying in bed watching TV with my daughter and I was just about asleep.

"The phone was lay between us and I got this message notification saying someone was in the kitchen.

"She was like 'Mom, there's a person in the kitchen... Mom, that's Robbie!'

"She just said 'Mom, look! It looks like Robbie'. I was stunned.

"And it did look just like him - beard and all."

Is a ghost moving the handle of a vintage hearse ?? (video)

It’s not quite the hand that rocks the cradle.

However, there’s no denying that some entity is responsible for moving the handle on a Victorian hearse.  

Steve Wesson had been hearing rumors of paranormal activity at Nottingham’s Haunted Museum, so he decided to investigate. 

On Jan. 3, the paranormal investigator set up a camera to hopefully catch a ghoul in the act. Trouble is, all his video caught is a handle on the old hearse being lifted up, but no one is seen on the tape. 

"On the morning of Jan. 4, I went through the camera footage and did not expect to see what I did,” Wesson told Caters News Agency. “Caught on camera, I saw the handle being pushed up in the air with great force being falling back down to its original place — it was very scary but also amazing!"

Wesson acknowledged that the museum houses many items with spiritual oddities. He also said the ghost distorted the camera’s settings.
