Summary
A little known factory town was home to the Kreischer Mansion, which actually had a twin. There were two exact mirror-image homes that sat next to each in Staten Island, fittingly owned by brothers. Only one of them remains and it changed ownership many times over the years. There were deaths on the property and people took to calling this the murder house. It very well might be a real life haunted mansion. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Kreischer Mansion. This Month in History features the birth of Hedy Lamarr and was written by Jim Featherstone.
