Welcome to Haunted Road, a production of IHeart Radio and Grimm and Mild from Aaron Manky.

Listener discretion is advised.

I want to tell you about a time I was absolutely taken aback by a psychic medium.

A few years ago, I was at a location where we suspected a cemetery

that had fallen into ruin on the property was at least partially responsible for the haunting going on there.

The idea being the spirits of those buried on the property were upset, their final resting place was slowly being

swallowed by the land, along with the last evidence of their existence. Just my luck, the proprietor

of this property happens to be one of the most gifted psychic mediums I've ever worked with,

and let me tell you, I'm very picky about my psychics. So to test the theory

of the cemetery being the origin of the activity, we arranged an investigation in the basement.

I brought a number of items into the room with us, including a small bag of dirt from the cemetery.

We brought the psychic into the room, not telling her a thing

about what we were doing or what was in the bag. As we settled and started investigating,

she seemed very drawn to the bag. So I asked her to pick it up. She did, and she held it in her

hands for a moment, and I asked her, what do you think is in there?

And she looked in the distance for a moment and blurted out,

Earth, roots, ground, dirt, cemetery dirt, and plopped the bag down.

My eyes were wide with shock, and I was like, how did you do that? And she matter

of factly replied with a laugh, I'm psychic, Amy. It was one of the many times I've been impressed

at this location, and later in the program, we'll talk to that very psychic. But for now, join me as we venture to

Gasport, New York for a little visit to Greystone Manor. I'm Amy Bruney, and this is Haunted Road.

On Root Road in Gasport, New York, a large Victorian house looms over an otherwise empty rural street.
