Summary

Nestled on a hill in St. Joseph, Missouri, the Beattie Mansion has held strong for nearly 170 years—though some of its residents seem a bit too attached to leave. Built in 1854 by Armstrong Beattie, a banker-turned-five-time mayor, and his wife, Eliza, this grand abode has housed the homeless, orphans, and the elderly… and the occasional ghostly tenant. Armstrong and Eliza’s spirits seem to have made themselves permanent residents, adding “spectral supervisors” to the list of mansion staff. The mansion’s current owner tried hiring help for renovations, but thanks to the “paranormal perks,” finding committed workers has been tricky. Today, we dive into the eerie history of Beattie Mansion with owner Michael Burkart. Buckle up for Part Two of The Grave Talks

0:39.2	And I've come down the long staircase before where it's pitch black.
0:43.3	And with the thought, if something evil is here, now would be a good time to push me down the stairs.

1:07.4	Yeah.
1:08.1	I don't know if I, I don't know if I would today. Let's put it that way. The most aggressive the spirits have ever been is when Kelly Matthews, who Kelly's like my adopted son. I was a big brother to him when he was seven and I was a sophomore in college at the University of Illinois. And I took him on in the Big Brother program,
1:29.9	and we stayed best friends for, he's 53 now. But he stayed there. Right after I bought it,
