Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the weird, wonderful, unexplained, eerie, scary and down-right unbelievable. There will be tales of ghosts, murder, supernatural beings and unexplained mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, relax and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....

And on today’s Dark enigma we’re exploring the Baleroy mansion in Chestnut Hill Philadelphia. So this is a listener request who claimed I didn’t like the East coast and only did stories from the West Coast… so Dave, this one is for you, but please note we’ve done previous episodes on places in Georgia and South Carolina, so I don’t have a coast preference. As always, we will be playing our drinking game but remember, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. So as for what we’re drinking tonight, I myself lean towards Yuengling lager, since they are in Pottsville Pa, but what ever you guys want is fine with me. Alright, now for the game portion… every time I say Chestnut that’ll be a single shot and every time I say Jefferson, that’s a double shot. Now that we have the business end out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… and the most haunted home in America.. Baleroy Mansion…

The Baleroy Mansion, Chestnut Hill Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A is a 32-room estate located in the historical and affluent Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia .It has obtained the title of "Most Haunted Home in America"due to its alleged infestation of spirits, ghosts, jinns, demons, angels or other supernatural beings.


The mansion and its separate carriage house was originally built in 1911.The first owner was a carpenter who is said to have murdered his wife inside the main house. It was purchased in 1926 by "a family that traces its roots to Easby Abbey in 12th Century Yorkshire, England; that crossed over to America in 1683 aboard the Welcome with William Penn, and that counts among its descendants three - "at least three that I know of," says Easby - signers of the Declaration of Independence." Baleroy housed many antique pieces that were handed down by famous historical people, including Napoleon of France, U.S. General George Meade, Thomas Jefferson and others.
