Summary
"I don't believe in ghosts, but I'm afraid of them," wrote Edith Wharton, the prolific American writer who compiled some of the best ghost stories of her time. In 1901, she and her husband built The Mount—a lavish summer home that would later echo with whispers of the supernatural. From its days as a girls' school to a theater troupe's abode, the estate has been steeped in mystery and eerie tales. Now, Crypto Paranormal Investigations steps into its shadowy corridors to uncover the truth. What did they find lurking in the corners of this historic mansion? Join us for Part One of "Investigating The Mount" with Miranda Arthur-Smith and Nick Smith-Koblitz, only on The Grave Talks.
