Kreischer Mansion
The Kreischer family once owned and operated a brick factory that supplied most the bricks for the Staten Island area in the 1800s. With their profits, they built two large mansions-one for the original family, and another for their son, and his wife. The second home, which was built far from the main road, suspiciously burned down, taking both the son’s and his wife’s lives. Prior to the burning of the home, a feud had erupted between the son and his father, for which there was no reconciliation. It is said that the home is now haunted by the son and wife, with apparitions appearing, banging noises, and doors slamming on their own. The house has since been converted into a restaurant.

I am an associate producer with a new documentary television series considering doing an episode on the Kreischer Mansion. We’re looking for anyone who has ever personally witnessed or knows someone who has witnessed strange activity connected with the mansion. We’re most interested in speaking with those who actually lived or worked there and had some frightening experiences there (former owners, employees, contractors). We are also interested in any stories involving animals. The unique spin of this series is that animals are also affected by paranormal activity and can even see/hear things before their human owners. I don’t know if there are any stories of living animals acting strange in Kreischer, but if we can find one it could be on TV!
My e-mail address is paranormalcast@gmail.com. Feel free to contact me if you have a personal story to share.

I used to live in SI and once spent the night at the mansion before it was supposed to be converted to a restaurant. A friend of mine was living there with his wife as a sort of caretaker. The place was a mess, with the large mirror on the first floor smashed by vandals.
He invited two of my co-workers to live there with them. They had a pretty neat setup, with cable internet hooked up, with all 3 computers near each other in the same room. They hooked up another PC so that I could join them in a round of Starcraft. Before bedtime that night, someone had mentioned that the place was haunted, and pointed me toward a stairway leading to the attic, or the next floor up, whatever it was. I graciously declined, having seen way too many horror movies in my time. This was early 2000’s, so I don’t remember if I heard any strange noises, but that could be because I didn’t want to hear any noises.
The only thing eerie I can remember is the dark stairway to the next floor up, one that I refused to climb. Call me chicken, but I don’t recall any of my companions volunteering to escort me up the stairs either.
The 3 guys initials that were there that night are JY, AA, and HMB. If you guys happen to see this post, please respond. Would be good to hear from you guys.

I worked at this resturant over the summer as a hobo. I went downstairs to get some ingrediants for some soup and heard a bump inside the storeroom. I opened it and found an apple and an orange on the ground. I was so freaked out that i turned around and ran into a metal pole. The apple and the orange rolled around me and i slipped on them. I quit the job the next day because of a broken wrist and a black eye.
