Summary
In 1901, legendary author Edith Wharton built The Mount—a grand summer estate meant to be her personal retreat from the world. Yet more than a century later, her words still ring true: “I don’t believe in ghosts, but I’m afraid of them.” Over the years, the mansion’s beauty has been shadowed by stories of disembodied voices, footsteps echoing through empty halls, and an unshakable presence that lingers long after the guests have gone.
From its transformation into a girls’ school to a theater troupe’s residence, The Mount has accumulated layers of emotion, history, and mystery. Now, Crypto Paranormal Investigations, led by Miranda Arthur-Smith and Nick Smith-Koblitz, ventures into its opulent yet haunted corridors to uncover what still stirs within its walls.
In this chilling episode of The Grave Talks, they share their findings, experiences, and evidence from one of America’s most literary hauntings. Because at The Mount, it seems the stories never truly end—they just change narrators. This is Part Two of our conversation.

| 0:00.0 | Today on the Grave Talks, part two of investigating the Mount, the home of writer Edith Wharton, |
| 0:08.7 | a conversation with crypto paranormal investigations. |
| 0:15.4 | Miranda, when you've been doing any investigations, not necessarily even the Mount, |
| 0:20.1 | have you ever come across something |
| 0:22.4 | like that? Something that you were like, I can't quite explain that. Ironically, this is the last |
| 0:29.6 | investigation that we had at the Mount. I don't even remember if we were breaking down or something |
| 0:36.4 | at that point. |
| 0:38.7 | Baselines, I think. |
| 0:41.2 | It was just the beginning of the night. |
| 0:42.3 | What am I even talking about? |
| 0:43.1 | Yeah, baselines. |
| 0:46.5 | Yeah, so we were just about to do some baselines, |
| 0:49.9 | and Nick was off in a different room, |
| 0:51.2 | but I knew where he was. |
| 0:53.3 | He was a little bit in front of me off to the left. And I was walking down this hall and I, you know, thought I heard a woman's voice like talking. So I stopped and I tried to listen. I was like, oh, did one of the cleaners come up and was like talking to Nick? And I was like, okay. So I didn't really pay too much mind to it. but, you know, I walked over to like go and, you know, see who Nick was talking to. And Nick wasn't talking to anybody. And so we, you know, checked out the area. We then went outside. The there was, the cleaners were there outside. But, you know, we ran out and Nick went to go talk to them, |
| 1:29.7 | and they had said that they hadn't come inside yet. And I think we kind of freak them out a little bit. |
| 1:37.8 | But, you know, it's always some type of little cliffhanger like that. Like, you're, I'm sure that I heard it. I know that that's what I heard. I didn't hear like anything like clear. It just sounded like someone, a woman's voice talking to somebody else. Um, but it's one of those things that it just like, it kind of screws through their mind a little bit. Like each time I've had like an experience. It's always like, well, what if I, you know, like, |
| 2:00.9 | what was that? What, you know, because there's also, um, something called a psychological effect called matrixing, matrixing. And, you know, Nick and I have been on investigations where we're like, you know, we're pulling all nighters. It's like the crack of dawn and you get a little delirious and it's like, okay, well, am I actually |
| 2:18.9 | hearing something that's here or am I manifesting something? |
| 2:24.0 | Right. |
| 2:24.3 | Because we were hearing birds chirping and when we'd listen in really carefully, it sounded |
| 2:28.8 | like talking, like a TV talking and then we'd listen like even more carefully and then it |
