This is for sue, I believe in what you believe too. I’ve been on Staten Island my whole life and me and my friends used to have a book about haunted Staten Island and we used to try and go to all the places but a lot are hard to get to or into. I also have a great interest in this and want to know all about the supernatural. You aren’t alone.

IVE PASSED THIS HOW MANY A TIME DRIVING BY JUST CRUISING THE ISLAND LATE AT NIGHT WITH MY FRIENDS. FROM THE ROAD AS WE DROVE BY WE ALWAYS SAW LIGHTS ON AND WHAT SEEMED TO BE FIGURES OF PEOPLE LOOKING DOWN AT US. SO ONE NIGHT WE ALL MADE A PLAN TO ACTUALLY GO UP THE HOUSE N LOOK IN THE WINDOWS TO SEE IF WE SAW ANYTHING UNUSUAL. MIND YOU I WENT WITH ABOUT 9 PEOPLE OR SO, SO WE WERE IN 3 CARS OUT OF THE NINE MYSELF AND TWO OTHERS WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO GO UP THERE AND LOOK. WE WALKED UP TO THE GATE WHICH AT THE TIME LOOKED LIKE A CAR HAD CRASHED INTO IT BUT FROM THE INSIDE NOT THE OUTSIDE LIKE SOMEONE WAS STUCK INSIDE AND TRYING TO GET OUT BUT ANYWAYS WE WALKED UP TO THE HOUSE THERE WAS A CAR PARKED ON THE FRONT LAWN THAT YOU COULD NOT SEE FROM THE ROAD. AS WE LOOKED IN THE WINDOWS WE SAW NOTHING THE HOUSE WAS TOTALLY EMPTY MY ONE CRAZY FRIEND WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO GO UP ON THE PORCH N LOOK IN THE WINDOW WHILE ME AND MY OTHER FRIEND REMAINED ON THE LAWN I WASNT SCARED OF GETTING CAUGHT BY COPS OR ANYHTING LIKE THAT I JUST FELT A PRESENCE AND I DIDNT WANT TO BE TO CLOSE TO IT SO AFTER THAT WE HAD WALKED BACK DOWN AND LEFT. THERE IS ALSO A SIDE PATH IN THE WEEDS LIKE BEHUND THE HOUSE THAT LEADS TO A BARN OR SHED WE DID NOT GO THERE IT WAS WAY TO DARK BUT THAT WAS BY FAR THE SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE

I was wondering if they are going to let the public take a tour inside the Kreischer mansion . the house looks so cool from the ouside it must be amazing to see up close and personal. I live in Tottenville , everytime i pass the house i can’t help but look. I was also wondering who owned the house and do they live threre?

When I was a teen I used to hang out Feedback Studios which was right up the road from the Kreisher Mansion. This building intrigued me so much I did a day of research at the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences on the house. Balthazar Kreisher built the twin mansions for his sons, he did not inhabit any of the buildings. He had georgian style mansion that overlooked the brick factory. His mansion no longer exists.

Before the firs of the house, his son’s wife was having an affair with Dr. Washington who had his office and house on Main Street in Tottenville. In fact, his house still stands and a friend of mine’s parents still live there. The house is catty corner to the 123 precint. The last time I was there the house was yellow.(I now live in Savannah, Ga) Anyways, B’s son’s wife left her husband and then the house mysteriously burnt down. The fireplaces and some of the fixtures in the Dr. Washington house were actually salvaged from the Kreisher Mansion fire.

Now I have no doubt that the standing Kreisher Mansion is haunted. An ex friend of mine has pictures that prove to me that there are people still there. The last thing I have heard about the mansion is that the property was sold to a property developer that is making an old folks living community. With these changes there have been a ton of changes to the house, which saddens me. It’s a beautiful piece of architecture.
