The Vicary Mansion in Freedom. PA: The Captain's Ghost

Step back into the haunted halls of Vicary Mansion in Freedom, Pennsylvania, where history and the supernatural intertwine. Originally built in 1827 by retired sea captain William Vicary, this three-story, 20-room estate has witnessed generations of life—and perhaps death—within its walls. Our team takes listeners on a tour of the most active spots in the mansion, starting in the basement, where strange EMF activity and clear voices on the spirit box suggest spirits of the past are still present. In the attic, we confront a palpable feeling of being unwelcome, possibly from a spirit with ties to the building’s historical use as an apartment. The loom room, however, delivers the most intense experiences—a flashlight flickers on and off on its own, responding as we ask questions, and we hear words through the spirit box. Join us as we uncover the mysteries of Vicary Mansion, a place where history is very much alive, and the past doesn’t seem ready to let go. From spirit sightings and strange sounds to paranormal hot spots, this episode is a spine-tingling journey through one of Pennsylvania’s haunted estates.
