If i had the needed funds. I would open this home back up and restore it to its original appearance and furnish it with proper period style furniture as much as possible. Regardless the home be haunted or not. At least then and maybe, IF the family still haunts that place....might bring them some peace of mind to know somebody cares enough.But thats just me ,lol ( i absolutely love old homes like this)
WWIIREBEL someone messages me not long ago who works for the business that owns this place. According to this person, they have no plans for the house at this time. Just trying to keep all the Vandals away from tearing into the place
Excellent "walk through" of a non-walk-throughable house steeped in history. Great stills in this throughout and also FABULOUS scoring choices. I really enjoyed my stay here and I'm about to look at more of your works. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids for those of us who would be out there "doing" if we could!!
I used to work for the property management firm that is responsible for this house. Couple facts and a story. This house was stop on the underground railroad. There are sealed off tunnels that lead to a nearby restaurant. The township is in possession of the tombstones. I've seen them and they're too worn out to read. A family did live there in the 1970's, not sure when it was last inhabited. One October day around dusk; me and a couple of coworkers decided to eat our dinners on the front porch. The sound of heavy boots taking about 10 steps was heard inches from our backs. None of us said a word. We simultaneously stood up and promptly walked back to the office without a peep. Once safely inside we looked at each other wide-eyed saying what the fuck was that. That memory gives me chills to this day.
It's pretty well gutted. They started a restoration and took down most of the walls. There's a lot of new framework. It does look like they quit in the middle of the job. Rumor is the hauntings got too bad to keep a crew. But officially they say it's too much of a money pit to continue.
That is an outright lie. My company owns this building and you've never worked for them. Also, there's nowhere to walk back to that has anything to do with the management company since the other building that's on this property was rented out 5 years ago - when you supposedly worked there - and the management company was not in that building.
This isn't true either. My boss stops by every day to check on the property and no one has ever been scared away by anything that happens here. This is all bullshit.
I wanna just add 2cents lol The house is linked to the underground railroad, the path to the house adds to that aswell as some historical backup. Now if this family was running that in their house wouldn't they be very secret and hush hush. that would 99% lead to oh them MF some witches lol. People considered anyone as a witch back then, they still burn "witches" in Africa today lol.
Those who have visited the barn on the property discovered it is actually another house; it has several bedrooms, a bathroom, and an attic. The shack is probably the most interesting part of the property. In the shack, there is a tunnel that leads back to the well in the main house.The tunnel has some historical documentation linked to the Underground Railroad. It is now filled with debris and water. The Witch House still stands today, with traces that it is undergoing renovations
It's no surprise to me that this place is active in the paranormal sense. Stone homes absorb more energy than those made of wood, and water is believed by many native tribes to be an entry into the other side.
KristyRi Exactly! Video and audio tapes capture sounds and images on a film of special material that has been oxidized or rusted. Certain building materials, such as slate used in older castles and stone structures and iron nails used in many older buildings, have properties similar to that of the tapes. When a traumatic event occurs or a time of heightened emotions, these materials record the event for future playback.
Love the architecture of these old houses I see them not in there present neglect but the beauty of their slope and plane imagining what they must have been, the constructional artistry of cornice and moulding Masonry so fine dovetailing grooves, of particular arches weight bearing seams display solid craft you don't see in modern work.thanks for posting
Okay, this is the third of your videos I've watched. Good job, I like seeing the details like webs, grafitti, etc. great shot inside that oven! Thank you for going out there for us!
Abandoned Steve Steve, please don't do this, or at least don't go inside, I have prior knowledge with Witches and Witch's Ghosts, and all I am ging to say is that in Tennessee or in Virginia where the majority of Witch Ghosts are, once you see them, they don't want anyone else to know (Which is why they corrupted your video file, and is also why you only got one small clip) Generally when people go on hunts for the Bell's Witch, they only get evidence of her doings, and not the Witch herself, although many people are rumored to have seen her. The second thing they do, is that if you find evidence of the witch, then it is a Omen to not come back, so PLEASE DON'T GO BACK!!! In Tennessee, we had a fellow from a paranormal society go out and go to the Bell Witch's cave, in which the man went missing that night, and was found 30 miles away from his car slaughtered (and yes, he went alone that night). History shows (and I assume that you are going alone in most of these videos) That the witches are less kind when you go alone, because there is less evidence that other people can pick up. That's why I am saying that if you go next time, you should bring a friend or something, because I know from my Local lore, and many other people's lore that Witches are some scary ass shit that you don't want to mess with. I am not talking about some Blair Witch project stuff here, I am talking about some REAL stuff here. Please Heed my message Steve. Sincerely- Nate
I was a kid in the 70's, and there was quite a bit of urban blight in the city where I was raised. We enjoyed running through abandoned schools, houses, factories, breweries, and whatever else we could find. I think that house is intriguing. Hopefully, they will complete the renovation. Thanks for sharing--your video makes me want to explore old, abandoned things again. The only caveat would be possible arrest.
This must have been a glorious house in it's day . Just love the wrap around porch . Too bad you couldn't take us through the Attic of this old gem . I like the Black and White comparisons too . Thanks for uploading .
Ok I have never heard of this place til this video and I know it may sound crazy but I had a dream about this place about 5 yrs ago. I was locked up in the building w the chairs I was chained but I got lose and was hiding under that bridge but she found me and I woke up freaking out. Maybe I was there in a past life idk I just remember waking up checking my kids and I was wet not sweat but wet like a shower bc at the time it was raining in my dream. But love the pics and video.
I was in that house back in the late 90’s. I remember the graves. The head stones were there but were laid flat on the ground at the time. They were stone and about three inch thick. Oval top then straight to bottom. Typical style. They were positioned on the right side of the front wrap around porch the side where the triangle roof section is. My friends and I were able to gain access. Someone was sleeping in a room on the left side. They were not there at the time. A mattress and candles were there. We walked in and it was dark. We had flashlights and lighters. The staircase for the second floor is centrally positioned. Upstairs the bathroom I I remember had a 1950’s feel. Most of the stuff in the house was from that era it seemed. Lots of broken items from vandalism I imagined. It was creepy. Glad to have made it out alive. People can get seriously injured in abandoned buildings. Especially if no one knows your there. When we were kids and there cell phones did not exist. And no one new we were there. So if we got stuck we would still be there. That’s an eerie thought. Thanks for sharing this video and bringing back some memories.
I agree with ya. Wierd stuff what happening with my camera auto focus when I was there as I stated in my video.. I do almost all my stuff by myself and sometimes go with friends
Thank you so much for this great video. I drove passed this house almost every day, but didn’t know the history. They must have had a beautiful view atop that hill.
This place looks like it was once a haven . Would love to see it restored to it's original condition . I love the columns and the surround porch . The land itself is alluring .
Thank you cowgirl. From articles on the internet it says they were stolen. There are some older pictures on the net from the 90s that show them in the ground still.
I was trying to use an iphone. I was able to read it on a lap top. Thanks. I have always loved exploring old houses. Especially the large old ones. Watching your videos is the next best thing to actually doing it myself. Keep up the good work.
Another great adventure! What a beautiful house still! I love the music you used. It added to the ominous look of the house! It's too bad that all those taggers had to deface the house. What a crime in itself. Were you not frightened beside seeing the face in your lense? I am so impressed with the top 20 list you have compiled! This house had an evil pretense to it. The history that you provided us with was very interesting. Thanks a million for making my late nights great nights! As always, thanks for your time and effort and allowing me to go on an adventure with you! This was fun!
My friends and I were in an abandoned building one time and something attacked one of my friends. She started saying she was freezing-cold (even though it was in July), and when we left, she said her back was burning and felt like it was on fire. When we lifted her shirt, there were scratches all over her back, it looked like something had raked her back with something sharp. While we were in there, a small pebble came out of nowhere and hit one of us in the face. It didn't injure the person, I think it was a warning to get out. After the pebble was thrown, was when my other friend complained of being cold and that her back was hurting her. We never went back. We didn't see anything, we didnt' hear anything (that I can recall, that is). We did feel cold spots, and we did get a feeling that something didn't want us in there and that it wanted us to leave immediately. I'm not saying it was a ghost. I don't know what it was.
if it is true what you say .... ghosts are unfriendly only in exceptional cases. something that does such things, such as along the back scratch .... I would say it was a demon
Jane Doe Very possible, although we didn't stick around to verify. A spirit strong enough to manifest itself physically is a spirit that's too strong for me! I do not believe in messing around with stuff like that, anyway. I believe there does exist a spirit world and there does exist evil spirits. Whether they are demon, or whatever, I don't know. I only know that I am not properly trained to deal with them and so I do not engage with them. I have never been so frightened - I don't know what it was, but you could feel it around us. You could feel it, without it being a solid object. I'm sorry I just don't know how else to explain what happened. Terrifying, it was.
Wonderful video. If you pause this on 3:15 right as the camera tries to click on what it senses, in the upper left corner is a greyish/greenish slab. It's in there I see them. Not one, but several.
Beautiful house...love the gabled roof...can imagine how peaceful it must have been to live there back in its day. Things feel so crowded and move too fast for me....guess I was born too late.
So many wishes and so many places I would like to see. I have to be realistic here, I will never be able to afford to go to tour Europe, I am not one of the rich and lucky ones. However, taking a tour of this house, and so many others, that the US has to offer, will help me enjoy all the history and hauntings that are simple US really has to offer. LOl!
I actually went to trade school about 2 mins down the road from this house, me and friends would go on our lunch break and play ball in the court right across the bridge. Since you've been there some of the windows have been opened allowing access, and let me tell you its damn creepy inside but still beautiful. You should go back and do an update and see if you can still get in
So wish ppl would go fix up places like this. Old homes N houses are way much better than modern homes N houses. Most ppl don't know that it is free to live in a old house to fix it up.
Just posted a neat story you should check out. I've worked on the property for over 10 years, and I usually don't buy into that spooky stuff. There are definitely demonic forces that can be felt anywhere on that property. The crazy thing is, it's on fairly open space with lots of development around it. I haven't work there for over 5 years and still get unnerved thinking about it.
Another shame... I greatly appreciate that you do make the effort to get history on these places... I miss doing this type of stuff... My brother in law and I used to run around lower Michigan hunting down abandoned houses... One I will never forget because I scared the crap out of me and still does to this day... but we've never gotten the history on these places, simply run across them randomly...Again, love these videos...
nice filming!!!.. and you did right when (even if your filming, DO NOT CHANGE A THING) that way (like you did) you captured it..weather people say your film was bad or not.. you still have the film untouched! thats the important thing..and besides you know what happened..everyone else wasnt with you..its what you experienced, the old spirits were letting you know, they see you and they are watching lol yikes but..they know they being filmed in certain situations..be sure to go prepared on your hunts..
Here us the info: The Witch House Gordon Drive Exton, PA 19341 -The Witch House, located off of Rt. 100 along Gordon Drive in Exton, got its name from the witches' graves that sit on the property.The graves lay next to each other face up and it is believed that the corpses are buried in standing position, in accordance to the witch's burial. There are four tombstones that sit on the property that consist of the Ferrell family a husband named Jessie, a wife named Mary Jane and two children
The " face " you have seen, though cool, was an illusion :). But i do find the tape issue interesting.. Wish we all could have seen it. ty for sharing!
Steve, I believe you. When my sister passed away last January, there was all kinds of electronic device disturbances all around me for about a day and then through out this year at specific times that would only mean something to her and I. Not just my personal devices, but also of people who were around me. My sister and I would often keep in touch via our cell phones, texting, calling, email, facebook. It was like our connection when we would be apart from each other. I do believe spirits can affect our electronic devices.
I am able to pick out faces in all kinds of places. My mind has some bizarre attraction to the pattern and can see it in the strangest places... that could have been what happened also. I noticed a "wolf/dog" like face where the ground meets the foundation just behind where the camera was focusing... it could have been that?? Or... a ghost! Your experience... so your choice of course! These things are purely subjective in my opinion and only meant for you, not for other viewers to interpret or judge. It is one of those "you had to be there" situations.
Awesome video...Thanx for sharing....It's so sad that there are so many places like this + mansions just left + lonely....Poor house, it needs a cuddle....lol BTW...Excellent soundtrack....I'm well + truely creeped out now....SCARED!!! :'(
Steve, great video,shots,and music. This place intrigued me so much. Such a shame that noone could have purchased this place and renovated it. The grounds are just beautiful with those nice size trees in the front yard. Really enjoyed this. Bobby
thank you for sharing this .. love the historic information you placed in your video. Makes it easier for people like me wanting to find out more information. :)
Terrible how someone just tries to burn this place down judging by the front door casement at the top. I wonder what the build date was on this house. It seemed to be built at a time of turmoil or unrest. I say that from the well being atached to the basement and the what seems to be powder-keg/coldstorage building. That 2 room round top is massive for a powder store. Would make for a premium wine cellar!! I'm sold on the place if they throw in the exorcism for free. That bead oven shown with the creepy music, would make a great wood burning pizza oven. Shall it be made Exton pizza and wine bar? Witch pizza would you like?
Aloha Abandon, WOW! was this your first spirit encounter? If it was and you got excited you would love my house LOL! No joke! Anyways back to your video just in case you did not know? Because I hate making any mistakes by unintentionally belittling anyone or insulting their intelligence! But this round room with the chairs in front of the open door Frame is where a mirror would have been placed, This is an amazing find! These were used in the dark with 1 lit candle to communicate with the dead you could see them & the spirits could also see that person it was a full on communication with any Spirit they called upon in the mirror & They must have been "(very good at it )" because, normally the mirror is above your head so you don't see your own reflection only a pro can achieve this goal facing the mirror head on. A mirror is a portal to the spirit world. This is why back in the day & In some cases even in today times, all mirrors were covered when someone passed away in the home & even when they passed away outside of the home Family members did not want their loved ones spirit to get lost or confused and try to come back home, So they could find their way to the light. So where This mirror used to be in your video is known as it's proper name; The magic mirror Thank you for all your Great videos!😇
Thank you. Glad you enjoying the videos. Yea i want to know what inside also. My only guess is they don't want it more vandalized as some day they plan to fix it up
The township was doing a project to try and restore this one but then it stopped. They redone the porch and that is it. Not sure who lived here after the family died. There are some recent pictures from a few years ago of the graves in the ground.
I really enjoyed your video. Such an interesting and disturbing story about it. It looked like it was definitely sealed up tight!! Did you happen to notice, what looked like a wooden cross, at around 1:18, on the side of the house over some bricks? I noticed it as soon as I started watching & went back to take another look. I could be wrong, but looked like one to me. Excellent video!! Thank you for sharing!! TC!!
sorry to ruin it for you but you wont see the face. What i was saying in my camera auto focus to a face as the face detection was activated. I found that odd.
Nice filming . This house looks 1800s but there are alot of houses like this in my town and surrounding area that have signs out front listing them as 1700s .There is a house just 4 short blocks from my house that was built in 1717 with original windows and glass !
Annie and Walter. It is reported in old newspapers that all the family members died in the late 1800's by suspicious circumstances. The property itself was known to exist since the late 1700's. It consists of the house, a barn, a boarded-up spring house, and a shack The house is three stories high and run down with all sorts of graffiti that usually say, "Keep out", "Go Away", "Be Afraid", and "Go home". People who have sneaked into the old house ventured through rooms with cob webs
yea those locks are heavy duty. you wont see a face. Neither did I. I was saying that my camera detected a face b/c the face detection icon was showing
Hey Steve: Is it a natural occurrence to have the camera/film flash in some parts of your video--as if it were old movie footage? The reason I'm asking is that this kind of flashing can trigger a migraine in people with chronic migraine syndrome. And it can actually throw someone with epilepsy into a seizure. I just wanted you to know. Thank you for your wonderful work. It's awesome to follow your adventures.
oh my... I remember this house from when I was a kid! I had always been beautiful. It still is :) Unfortunately, to fix up a historical house in Chester County, it takes a HUGE amount of time and funds. The restoration has to be done to historical accuracy. Unfortunately, thats why many houses in this area are left to fall apart :(
awesome man. When did you go today? I was on the other side of the Franklin mint getting the other houses and saw a car parked by the old bridge. Not sure if it was you
As a practicing Witch, not Wiccan, but just Witch, I would be very interested to visit and film this house and see if I can connect with the former occupants. I would like to see if they really were witches and if so, what their "feel" tells me about them. As soon as I can get up to PA, I will try and explore it first thing and I'll let you know what I find, if you're interested Steve! I am soooo addicted to this now lol!
Pa is loaded with a lot of these places and a lot with cool and eerie history
i just hate people vandalizing old houses!!
Your music choice was creepy.... Perfect!!!
i wish people would not spray paint these houses :(
I agree
me too
jenn barrett james witches did it
If i had the needed funds. I would open this home back up and restore it to its original appearance and furnish it with proper period style furniture as much as possible. Regardless the home be haunted or not. At least then and maybe, IF the family still haunts that place....might bring them some peace of mind to know somebody cares enough.But thats just me ,lol ( i absolutely love old homes like this)
WWIIREBEL someone messages me not long ago who works for the business that owns this place. According to this person, they have no plans for the house at this time. Just trying to keep all the Vandals away from tearing into the place
so very sad that people have to keep destroying so old and beautiful a homestead :(
YEP sadly it will never stop.
what is this house near?? its right down the street from me!! id like to check it out.take some pics.
Darrel Cox It's on the same property that has the former West Pharmaceuticals lab, kinda near the Wyndham Garden Inn/Starbucks.
Excellent "walk through" of a non-walk-throughable house steeped in history. Great stills in this throughout and also FABULOUS scoring choices. I really enjoyed my stay here and I'm about to look at more of your works. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids for those of us who would be out there "doing" if we could!!
Thank You so much Carol. It great to hear from someone who isnt always expecting an inside video but understands this house does have great history!

wow that is awesome! What does the inside look like
It's pretty well gutted. They started a restoration and took down most of the walls. There's a lot of new framework. It does look like they quit in the middle of the job. Rumor is the hauntings got too bad to keep a crew. But officially they say it's too much of a money pit to continue.

Cant believe someone stole the head stones thats messed up. No matter how old it is thats someones resting place
Agreed
THE PICTURES THAT YOU TAKE ARE FANTASTIC AND POETIC!
Thank You!
Ok I have been watching abandoned house videos for about a week now and this place creeps me out the most
Those who have visited the barn on the property discovered it is actually another house; it has several bedrooms, a bathroom, and an attic.
The shack is probably the most interesting part of the property. In the shack, there is a tunnel that leads back to the well in the main house.The tunnel has some historical documentation linked to the Underground Railroad. It is now filled with debris and water.
The Witch House still stands today, with traces that it is undergoing renovations
Thank Bobby. Glad you enjoyed it. I try and make a return visit in the near future
It's no surprise to me that this place is active in the paranormal sense. Stone homes absorb more energy than those made of wood, and water is believed by many native tribes to be an entry into the other side.

Poeticriffraff er try useing a tape recorder with no input,new tape, then play back loud. heard this works but never tried it myself.
look up the Stone Tape Theory its pretty much what you're describing
What a waste of a home somebody could live in.The grounds around this home is beautiful.What a shame.Blessed Be...)0(
Steve, I really love this one. An eerie property with such haunting music! Keep it up!
+Grant Grindle Thank you !
I enjoyed your video. I could feel the energy you were referring to in the footage. Creepy music added to the video! Great job!
+Laura Lyn thank you
I was reading all your posts, your brave to sleep in one of them. Man i could only imagine waking up from that dream. Thanks for sharing!
Love the architecture of these old houses I see them not in there present neglect but the beauty of their slope and plane imagining what they must have been, the constructional artistry of cornice and moulding Masonry so fine dovetailing grooves, of particular arches weight bearing seams display solid craft you don't see in modern work.thanks for posting
Cecelia Passarella Your welcome. That why I tend to stay with the older homes. More Unique. Thanks for watching
Okay, this is the third of your videos I've watched. Good job, I like seeing the details like webs, grafitti, etc. great shot inside that oven! Thank you for going out there for us!
would make a great B&B. The history and eerie beauty.
Love the music...was creeping me out
Love this and the music you picked.
+segura2112 Thank you
This home is now being renovated!!
I bet it was a very pretty place at one time. Shame that it looks like that today, but I like the creepy part too...
i plan to revisit this one soon to see how it been in almost a year
Abandoned Steve Steve, please don't do this, or at least don't go inside, I have prior knowledge with Witches and Witch's Ghosts, and all I am ging to say is that in Tennessee or in Virginia where the majority of Witch Ghosts are, once you see them, they don't want anyone else to know (Which is why they corrupted your video file, and is also why you only got one small clip) Generally when people go on hunts for the Bell's Witch, they only get evidence of her doings, and not the Witch herself, although many people are rumored to have seen her.

sounds possible
Crystal Little that is scary
LMAO
Thanks for taking me back home.
I was in that house back in the late 90’s. I remember the graves. The head stones were there but were laid flat on the ground at the time. They were stone and about three inch thick.

I live about 15 minutes from Exton, and have been on Pottstown Pike countless times, but I have never heard of this place
Thank you so much for this great video. I drove passed this house almost every day, but didn’t know the history. They must have had a beautiful view atop that hill.
This place looks like it was once a haven . Would love to see it restored to it's original condition . I love the columns and the surround porch . The land itself is alluring .
i have to go back and check up on this one. See if anything has been done to it
please post your return visit , would like to see it in another video .
will do
I liked that. Shame you couldn't go into the house; loved the music and the black and white scenes.
Yea i wish i could get inside but this was a hard one
I just discovered your videos! Creepy! WOW those trees...the land as creepy as the house. Thanks for posting.
haha thank you very much! I am glad I am keeping you hooked!
Thank you cowgirl. From articles on the internet it says they were stolen. There are some older pictures on the net from the 90s that show them in the ground still.

Looks like it had a fire inside and a lot of vandalism. Other than that it seems like a waste of a Historic Property.
I'm sure it was very pretty in its day.
Another great adventure! What a beautiful house still! I love the music you used. It added to the ominous look of the house! It's too bad that all those taggers had to deface the house. What a crime in itself. Were you not frightened beside seeing the face in your lense? I am so impressed with the top 20 list you have compiled! This house had an evil pretense to it. The history that you provided us with was very interesting. Thanks a million for making my late nights great nights! As always, thanks for your time and effort and allowing me to go on an adventure with you! This was fun!
Thank You so much. Sadly this house didnt make my top 20 b/c of no enter but it still was worth a video on my channel.
Yes definitely!
I want to see inside the house 😭. It's cool 😎 love the video
very interesting. Thanks for pointing that out
My friends and I were in an abandoned building one time and something attacked one of my friends. She started saying she was freezing-cold (even though it was in July), and when we left, she said her back was burning and felt like it was on fire. When we lifted her shirt, there were scratches all over her back, it looked like something had raked her back with something sharp.
While we were in there, a small pebble came out of nowhere and hit one of us in the face. It didn't injure the person, I think it was a warning to get out. After the pebble was thrown, was when my other friend complained of being cold and that her back was hurting her.
We never went back.
We didn't see anything, we didnt' hear anything (that I can recall, that is). We did feel cold spots, and we did get a feeling that something didn't want us in there and that it wanted us to leave immediately.
I'm not saying it was a ghost. I don't know what it was.
wow sounds like a scary experience for sure
if it is true what you say .... ghosts are unfriendly only in exceptional cases. something that does such things, such as along the back scratch .... I would say it was a demon
Jane Doe Very possible, although we didn't stick around to verify. A spirit strong enough to manifest itself physically is a spirit that's too strong for me! I do not believe in messing around with stuff like that, anyway. I believe there does exist a spirit world and there does exist evil spirits. Whether they are demon, or whatever, I don't know. I only know that I am not properly trained to deal with them and so I do not engage with them. I have never been so frightened - I don't know what it was, but you could feel it around us. You could feel it, without it being a solid object.
I'm sorry I just don't know how else to explain what happened. Terrifying, it was.
I really enjoyed the black and white footage and stills.
wow i see that. Freaky looking. This is why i like sharing my videos b/c ppl can see stuff that I miss
very bizarre. Must of been neat to see. Thanks for sharing!
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing them. Also thank you for the nice music!
Louise Caudill Your welcome Louise. Thanks for watching
wow did not notice that actually. Thanks for bringing that up. I cant find much info on what happened here in the late 1900s
Aloha Steve,
BTW You are an awesome photographer you should frame some of your photos and sell them in an art gallery on consignment
Thank you Jennifer
Wonderful video. If you pause this on 3:15 right as the camera tries to click on what it senses, in the upper left corner is a greyish/greenish slab. It's in there I see them. Not one, but several.
i think these are rather shadowy and moss.
Beautiful house...love the gabled roof...can imagine how peaceful it must have been to live there back in its day. Things feel so crowded and move too fast for me....guess I was born too late.
no driveway but maybe a long time ago. The small house does go underground to a tunnel which connects to the basement of the house.
So many wishes and so many places I would like to see. I have to be realistic here,
I will never be able to afford to go to tour Europe, I am not one of the rich and lucky
ones. However, taking a tour of this house, and so many others, that the US has to
offer, will help me enjoy all the history and hauntings that are simple US really has to offer. LOl!
I actually went to trade school about 2 mins down the road from this house, me and friends would go on our lunch break and play ball in the court right across the bridge. Since you've been there some of the windows have been opened allowing access, and let me tell you its damn creepy inside but still beautiful. You should go back and do an update and see if you can still get in
So wish ppl would go fix up places like this. Old homes N houses are way much better than modern homes N houses. Most ppl don't know that it is free to live in a old house to fix it up.
They tried to fix this place several times. The hauntings get so bad that they can't keep any workers on the job.
Joe McElyea that's bad. Except I'm just the perfect person to live in it N not let anything scare me. 😊 Honestly I would.
Just posted a neat story you should check out. I've worked on the property for over 10 years, and I usually don't buy into that spooky stuff. There are definitely demonic forces that can be felt anywhere on that property. The crazy thing is, it's on fairly open space with lots of development around it. I haven't work there for over 5 years and still get unnerved thinking about it.
Joe McElyea I'm not finding ure story. Can u please post link so I can find it
Just sort by newest comment on this video. It's not that great, just my experience.
Great video I"m sure its intresting inside too!
I bet if you dug about you could still find relics of our long gone past. This place has such a historical vibe to it. 💕
Love the shot of the ivy. Beautiful!
Virginia Dawn Thank You
Another shame... I greatly appreciate that you do make the effort to get history on these places... I miss doing this type of stuff... My brother in law and I used to run around lower Michigan hunting down abandoned houses... One I will never forget because I scared the crap out of me and still does to this day... but we've never gotten the history on these places, simply run across them randomly...Again, love these videos...
Heidi Saily Thanks so much. The history is a big part of these places which is why i want to make sure it gets out there
nice filming!!!.. and you did right when (even if your filming, DO NOT CHANGE A THING) that way (like you did) you captured it..weather people say your film was bad or not.. you still have the film untouched! thats the important thing..and besides you know what happened..everyone else wasnt with you..its what you experienced, the old spirits were letting you know, they see you and they are watching lol yikes but..they know they being filmed in certain situations..be sure to go prepared on your hunts..
Spooky place but sad too. Thanks for a well made video xx
Here us the info: The Witch House
Gordon Drive
Exton, PA 19341 -The Witch House, located off of Rt. 100 along Gordon Drive in Exton, got its name from the witches' graves that sit on the property.The graves lay next to each other face up and it is believed that the corpses are buried in standing position, in accordance to the witch's burial.
There are four tombstones that sit on the property that consist of the Ferrell family a husband named Jessie, a wife named Mary Jane and two children
Glad you enjoyed and welcome. I got plenty more vids to come. Usually post new ones weekly
great write up. I agree with you. Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching Celine!
The " face " you have seen, though cool, was an illusion :). But i do find the tape issue interesting.. Wish we all could have seen it. ty for sharing!
Thanks for posting that. Crazy History
Steve, I believe you. When my sister passed away last January, there was all kinds of electronic device disturbances all around me for about a day and then through out this year at specific times that would only mean something to her and I. Not just my personal devices, but also of people who were around me. My sister and I would often keep in touch via our cell phones, texting, calling, email, facebook. It was like our connection when we would be apart from each other. I do believe spirits can affect our electronic devices.
yea i had that happen only once there which was odd
I am able to pick out faces in all kinds of places. My mind has some bizarre attraction to the pattern and can see it in the strangest places... that could have been what happened also. I noticed a "wolf/dog" like face where the ground meets the foundation just behind where the camera was focusing... it could have been that?? Or... a ghost! Your experience... so your choice of course!
These things are purely subjective in my opinion and only meant for you, not for other viewers to interpret or judge. It is one of those "you had to be there" situations.
Awesome video...Thanx for sharing....It's so sad that there are so many places like this + mansions just left + lonely....Poor house, it needs a cuddle....lol BTW...Excellent soundtrack....I'm well + truely creeped out now....SCARED!!! :'(
Steve, great video,shots,and music. This place intrigued me so much. Such a shame that noone could have purchased this place and renovated it. The grounds are just beautiful with those nice size trees in the front yard. Really enjoyed this. Bobby
a couple years ago they re-built the porch but after that, nothing new happened to the place
This house was beautiful at one time. Would love to know more history :0)
The flashing light effect is enough to set off an epileptic fit.
thank you for sharing this .. love the historic information you placed in your video. Makes it easier for people like me wanting to find out more information. :)
Terrible how someone just tries to burn this place down judging by the front door casement at the top. I wonder what the build date was on this house. It seemed to be built at a time of turmoil or unrest. I say that from the well being atached to the basement and the what seems to be powder-keg/coldstorage building. That 2 room round top is massive for a powder store. Would make for a premium wine cellar!! I'm sold on the place if they throw in the exorcism for free. That bead oven shown with the creepy music, would make a great wood burning pizza oven. Shall it be made Exton pizza and wine bar? Witch pizza would you like?
alibabafurball that is kids these days. They could care less. They think it ok since no one lives in it
I see your vision. I like it!
yea my older videos weren't phone friendly when it came to text but I am trying to fix that it my newer videos. Thank you for the kind words
Aloha Abandon,
WOW! was this your first spirit encounter? If it was and you got excited you would love my house LOL! No joke! Anyways back to your video just in case you did not know? Because I hate making any mistakes by unintentionally belittling anyone or insulting their intelligence!
But this round room with the chairs in front of the open door Frame is where a mirror would have been placed, This is an amazing find!
These were used in the dark with 1 lit candle to communicate with the dead you could see them & the spirits could also see that person it was a full on communication with any Spirit they called upon in the mirror &
They must have been
"(very good at it )" because, normally the mirror is above your head so you don't see your own reflection only a pro can achieve this goal facing the mirror head on.
A mirror is a portal to the spirit world.
This is why back in the day & In some cases even in today times, all mirrors were covered when someone passed away in the home & even when they passed away outside of the home Family members did not want their loved ones spirit to get lost or confused and try to come back home,
So they could find their way to the light. So where
This mirror used to be in your video is known as it's proper name;
The magic mirror
Thank you for all your Great videos!😇
Someone went to a great extent to keep people out of this place.
Thank you. Glad you enjoying the videos. Yea i want to know what inside also. My only guess is they don't want it more vandalized as some day they plan to fix it up
The video and music were so scary that I soiled my trousers.
Thanks yea this place had that creepy vibe to it. I don't know but the way the house was built seemed to give me the impression of a murder house.
The township was doing a project to try and restore this one but then it stopped. They redone the porch and that is it. Not sure who lived here after the family died. There are some recent pictures from a few years ago of the graves in the ground.
I really enjoyed your video. Such an interesting and disturbing story about it. It looked like it was definitely sealed up tight!! Did you happen to notice, what looked like a wooden cross, at around 1:18, on the side of the house over some bricks? I noticed it as soon as I started watching & went back to take another look. I could be wrong, but looked like one to me. Excellent video!! Thank you for sharing!! TC!!
sorry to ruin it for you but you wont see the face. What i was saying in my camera auto focus to a face as the face detection was activated. I found that odd.
Nice filming . This house looks 1800s but there are alot of houses like this in my town and surrounding area that have signs out front listing them as 1700s .There is a house just 4 short blocks from my house that was built in 1717 with original windows and glass !
Annie and Walter. It is reported in old newspapers that all the family members died in the late 1800's by suspicious circumstances.
The property itself was known to exist since the late 1700's. It consists of the house, a barn, a boarded-up spring house, and a shack The house is three stories high and run down with all sorts of graffiti that usually say, "Keep out", "Go Away", "Be Afraid", and "Go home".
People who have sneaked into the old house ventured through rooms with cob webs
yea this music does give that creepy feel
House looks solid af wish thdy still built houses like that today
"On this episode of "Flip That House. It's gonna be The Exton Witch House"
that would be pretty freaky. I will have to check back on this place and see if something open but those locks are pretty heavy duty
yea those locks are heavy duty. you wont see a face. Neither did I. I was saying that my camera detected a face b/c the face detection icon was showing
Creepy! I kept expecting Malokye from children of the corn to come around the corner carrying a scythe. ready to Kill Braaahahahah! just kidding LOL
Hey Steve: Is it a natural occurrence to have the camera/film flash in some parts of your video--as if it were old movie footage? The reason I'm asking is that this kind of flashing can trigger a migraine in people with chronic migraine syndrome. And it can actually throw someone with epilepsy into a seizure. I just wanted you to know. Thank you for your wonderful work. It's awesome to follow your adventures.
+Karen Barnhardt Did not know that but thank you for letting me know. This video is 3 years old and when I was trying different things
Cheers!
oh my... I remember this house from when I was a kid! I had always been beautiful. It still is :) Unfortunately, to fix up a historical house in Chester County, it takes a HUGE amount of time and funds. The restoration has to be done to historical accuracy. Unfortunately, thats why many houses in this area are left to fall apart :(
awesome man. When did you go today? I was on the other side of the Franklin mint getting the other houses and saw a car parked by the old bridge. Not sure if it was you
Thank You, Yea it is fun to explore these places but again you are taking a risk
As a practicing Witch, not Wiccan, but just Witch, I would be very interested to visit and film this house and see if I can connect with the former occupants. I would like to see if they really were witches and if so, what their "feel" tells me about them. As soon as I can get up to PA, I will try and explore it first thing and I'll let you know what I find, if you're interested Steve! I am soooo addicted to this now lol!
