Click here for more pictures
Info: Van Horn Mansion is located
on Route 78 in Burt, NY. James Van Horn built the mansion in 1823 and
the first town meeting where the Town of Newfane was formed was held
in 1824 in the Van Horn living room. Their have been reports of full
apparition sightings, moving objects, unexplained sounds, etc. The
stories told are of James VanHorn's wife Malinda who died suddenly
on the property. Her remains are still buried on property while the
rest of the Van Horn family remains were moved and buried in a nearby
cemetery. Why were her remains left behind? Is Malinda the only spirit
on property? There are also stories of other spirits that may have
been servants on property as well as maybe even Mr. James Van Horn
himself!
Van Horn Mansion Evidence from Historical Society Volunteers
Video Evidence:

|
- This video was taken from
a volunteer that was in the mansion during the afternoon. She
was sitting in the office of the mansion panning her camera around.
The part you want to watch is near the beginning near the stove
in the background. Watch closely at around 19 seconds and you
will see a figure block out the light above the stove burners.
It then slowly moves out of the way.

- This is one our more interesting EVP's
that is still up for alot of debate. It was recorded by an audio
recorder placed in the maids room. It happened at around 1am
when a group of investigators was walking up to the attic. We
are still trying to figure out exactly what is being said.Some
ideas of what may being said are: "You know there's money
(or mommy), money now to me." "There's something wrong
there, wrong there in that room." "This is my room,
mine now." "This
stuff is mine...mine now."

Video Evidence:

|
- This video was captured by the IR Camera
that was stationary in the north side of the attic. The video
is of a strange light anomaly and some sort of "spark" explosion.
In this part of the attic, there is no lights hanging in the
ceiling or on the wall. There is also no electrical outlet where
this happens.You will notice at the start of the video, the light
source starts at the left of the screen and works its away around
to the top and then the right of the screen. Also, there was
a group of investigators sitting in the south side of the attic
and did not see any light source as it was happening and recorded
on the IR Camera.This piece is probably our best piece of evidence
we caught so far.

- This video was captured
by our Lead Tech, Brandon, as he was bringing his camcorder back
down to the first floor to charge the batteries. The apparition
caught on film appears to be running in to the bedroom from the
hallway. You will need to look quickly as the camera is raised
and pointing towards the banisters. This happens VERY quickly
at the 7 second mark. You may want to pause it at 6 seconds and
watch it slowly from there.
