Location Description:         
 

There is a mansion located at the end of the road. It was built in the late 1700`s. No one has ever lived in the house. This lady that owned Pharr yarns built it for her grandson. He died shortly after she built it. Since he died she said no one could live in it. The town has since tried to make it a haunted house and the proceeds go to the local fire department. Rumor is 2 men and a woman haunt it. People that work upstairs have seen and heard stuff to where they have ran out the house white as a ghost and breathing as though someone was trying to kill them. They have reported seeing a woman upstairs holding a baby`s head in one hand and another head in the other. People have been going downstairs and heard someone following them and turned around to see no one. Also reports of pictures in one of the upstairs room just fall off the wall as if someone was knocking them off. Fair Warning, you most likely will be charged to go though it.

-------------------------------------------------

This is an alternate explanation for the hauntings in the mansion (Note: This information was taken from the website promoting the "Spencer Mountain Haunted Mansion" and can be found at http://www.spencermountain.com/story.htm)

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE STORIES
SPENCER MOUNTAIN`S HAUNTED MANSION

There have been many documented facts and proven statements that have been confirmed by not just one but many paranormal professionals from across the United States, that show clear evidence that the house is haunted.

The old mansion now sits abroad where the old Spencer Mountain Cemetery used to sit.
In fact, the entire hillside from Pharr Blvd. all the way over to Ranlo/Spencer Mountain Road was once a final resting place for many unforgotten souls.

Some of the old mill houses, now ran down and in need of much repair are
still occupied by very few, mostly retired textile workers and immigrants.
These old homes sit right on top of still visible tombstones.
In the late 1990`s land was donated by the property owners to one of the families of decedents that were confirmed as having family buried on this same hillside. You can now view this grave site that sits on the hillside on Main Street Spencer Mountain which is approximately 300 feet from the mansion.

Some say that if all in the group truly believe, that on any given night Sarah will make her appearance be known.
Sometimes you can see her as only a silhouette.
But at other times many have seen her as she is.
There have been documented statements of people just simply riding by in their auto mobiles that stated that they seen her in the upper bay window of the mansion.
No expressions, no movement, but just a stare.
Then she would disappear.
Some have claimed to have seen her by the old well which is located just below the mansion, and some state they have seen her walking on the street in front of the old place but as they got closer she vanished.
These are all true stories reported by not just one individual but by many.
Sarah has been the most seen spirit, but not the only one.
A professional physic after going on a paranormal tour through the mansion in 2005 stated that she(Sarah) is just one of many spirits that reside on this property.
She also stated that there were children.
This would explain the many sightings of a little girl with blond hair that has shown up in several pictures taken there.

Well, I live in Gastonia and last night (Sat, August 18th, 2007 - approx
1:30am) myself, my room mate and his girlfriend and I went out to this mansion. We didn't make it more than six to eight steps past our car when my room mate went face first to the gravel. He said it felt like something had pulled his legs out from under him, which is very strange because I was standing right behind him when he went down. We later found out (from research online) that the mansion and most of the area used to be a large cemetery, and back in the 1700's when they started building the houses on that land they left most of the grave stones and built the mansion and houses over top of them.

Eeee.. Thats really scary... Was your friend alright after his face plant into the gravel?... Although, if the mansion was built on top of a cemetery, I can understand why the spirits would be upset...

Yeah, he was fine. He cut up his elbow a bit but not that bad. I think upset may be a bit of an under statement on this one. We didn't even make it to the house before all three of us got an extremely bad feeling. And I could honestly feel spiritual energy from not just the mansion but from all around it and from the other side of the street as well.

It`s good to hear that your friend is alright.. It can be very scary to deal with malevolent spirits. Anyways I found a website that deals with this place.. I guess it tells of the story and has more images..... I thought I would post it. Check it out, it seems interesting.

Yeah, that`s the site that I found the pics I added on. It`s a cool site, but as with any website that was made for advertising a "Haunted Mansion" Halloween attraction, you can`t always believe everything they say because they might just be trying to drive up the hype for it...

But with that being said, when i went there the first time I mentioned that I felt spiritual activity from not only the mansion but from all around and I didn`t find out anything honestly about the graves being built over. You guys don`t have to believe that but it`s true, I didn`t have any clue what I and my friends were walking into.

Thats what I figured when I found the website through a google search. The town is very small and I`m sure the tiny community wants the profits. Some people will do anything to try and attract more people.. But it does seem to be a very interesting place. Especially if your sensing spirits when you where there. It seems to be worth a stop if I`m ever in North Carolina... How did you find out about this place?

My room mate (The one that took a face plant. lol) knew about it from hearing stories about it and he had passed by it a few times.

It honestly is a very interesting place, and out of all the haunted locations I`ve been too this is the second strongest concentration of spiritual energy that I`ve felt in this area of NC. Sadly the other was an old school and it was torn down about a year ago.

I lived on Spencer Mtn. when I was a child.  My mother worked at the mill, and we lived on Pharr Blvd.  I played at the mansion many times as a child day and night as did all of my friends, and we never heard or saw anything out of the ordinary.

A few months ago the city put a chain up at the entrance to the drive way and have posted several "No Trespassing" signs on the and around the house.

I have also tried to contact people about getting permission to enter the house but all attempts thus far have met dead ends.

Has anyone been inside recently?

I'm active duty military and can't afford to get arrested trying to peep inside, so i'm looking for someone who's actually seen the inside?


I went with a friend back in the end of 2010 when it snowed a lot one late cold dreary december night but it was boarded up on the first floor....

I used to work in the haunted house, in fact I am the son of the person who ran the thing. I worked there for 5 years (2001-2006) I have had PLENTY of spiritual encounters, enough to never go inside the house by myself. I just ask one thing, if you go down there, please dont vandalize. For the people who worked there, and lived in Spencer Mountain for 10+ years the house holds a little place in our hearts. And if people keep going down there breaking the doors down, Pharr Yarns (the owners) will tear it down. So please...PLEASE dont hurt/break anything down there. I heard its already been heanily vandalized. So please dont contribute.

We went up to the house last weekend from charlotte thinking we were going to pay to get in for haloween. Noone was there (living there is) someone had bashed in the lower pannel to the front ground level basement door. I was hesitant and no one else would come with me but I crawled in I walked through the basement with a small flashlight. I didnt get an erie feeling till I flashed the weak beam upstairs. I sensed something so I went to crawl back out I couldnt go upstairs. As I turned my back to crawl out and that feeling that someone was watching me took over. The cops came but as I looked back from the driveway toward the front of the house I saw a dim light through the top floors window. I have been wishing I hadnt left without seeing the rest. Something is in there. FYI to anybody that heads that way, show some respect for that old place, the land it rests on, and the lost souls inhabiting the mansion.
If anyone knows how I might be able to gain permission to enter this place PLEASE let me know!!!!!

I am a 28 year old female without a criminal record I am a Christian, sometimes church member, I graduated from a local Christian Academy after thirteen years of attendance.I am from Charlotte NC, and I am a local college student.I love anything frightning from scarey movies to Ghost Hunters to haunted houses.My grandmother owned a haunted historic home in Charlotte for twenty-five years. After having paranormal experiences in the house all my life I am drawn to that sort of thing. I think that its normal to question people on the internet you can never tell who they might be. I am no serial killer believe me. Just think about it....it would make my day.

PS - The property is owned by Pharr Yarns, not the town of Spencer Mtn. Phar Yarns is the ones who put up the chain. They're tired of paying to fix damage done to the house by tresspassers. The house is going to be torn down, but only because it will cost more to fix than the house is/will be actually worth. I know all of this because my mom works for Pharr Yarns and handles all of the property (rental and otherwise) in Spencer Mtn. Don't waste your time.

Kenny, son of rental property for old mill town. I live up the road in Stanley. What is going to become of the village? Are there going to be any construction of new property in the very near future? If so, when will it start and where? Do you know the time frame of when the old mill houses will be torn down? Right now it is scary to drive through there as the mill company has just let the place go to hell and is not taking care of the town.I mean there is trash everywhere and the old houses all look terrible.To me, this is a reflection of the owners and all that are associated. It seems that over the past 2 to 3 years the town has gone to the pits and it was starting to look so nice just a few years back with the new sign and plantings and all. But with that being said, I think Spencer Mountain will be a nice place once again oneday but still think the mill company should take at least a little pride to clean up some. A must that needs to be done is to make a historical landmark out of the Haunted Mansion on Main Street. After all it is proven and well documented in a world reknown book,"The Encyclopedia of the World's Most Haunted Places by a well known author.(Can be purchased at amazon.com) This place holds a key in history from long ago and the future and it should be preserved. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Oh by the way, I have rode by there and have seen a figure standing in the bay window overlooking the street.(Pretty freaky) Thanks

I agree with you, small towns everywhere are taking pride in saving and renovating historical structures. I am sure this Pharr family is wealthy enough to do this for historical reasons. The excuse of the home costing more to save and fix than the worth afterwards is just wrong. These type homes are being used as banquet halls and for weddings which could recover some of the cost. What a shame to lose such a magnificent landmark if this family can afford a different outcome. This home could also be a popular haunted Bed and Breakfast Inn.

Dude,I am from Virginia and me and 6 of my friends went to the Mansion on Halloween and it is awesome! The doors are all borarded shut but you can see in the windows. In one of the windows from the far side, we seen what appeared to be a black shadow go across the room and then disappear into the wall. Also, when we tried to record through the window our camcorder battery just died. This was really wierd because I had a full charge before we left the house. We did catch some pretty good orbs from outside though on our digitals. All I have to say is we seen some unexplainable stuff and we were pretty scared. We was there around 4:00am and there were no cops. If you ever go there, be prepared to be scared. Peace

A couple of guys that were waiting to go to work in the haunted house decided to walk across the street where the river is, the catwalk goes across the river.  The guy made a heart shape out of cigarettes and i think he put his girlfriends picture in the center of the heart.  All of his other possessions were laying there as well.  They walked a little further and that's when they saw the guy hanging from under the catwalk.  I used to work with the guy's that found him.

This is all a hoax. i am the 'anonymous user' who posted back in 10/9/08 .. its me, Mat and Pat again. We were the ones who busted the bottom of the basement door. we went into the mansion scared as hell over the anticipation. We went in with a fat blunt and were ready to get spooked. we walked all over the mansion at around midnight. Not a single stir of movement or paranormal activity. I had pictured this place to be filled with creepy, eery stuff. But, all i found in there was painted cement walls and an old billiards table. There is nothing haunted about this place. Don't waste your time reading these lies about the haunts. Also, do not waste your time going there as it is not worth it: A) for the lack of spookiness and coolness of the mansion itself; and B) there are cameras linked to the sherif station in the next town (Gastonia doesn't have a police station). When we got to the third floor we sparked our blunt and deemed the mansion conquered and free from any paranormal ANYTHING. Although, I must say it was a lot of fun to anticipate going in. Also, it took us the best part of a half hour to muster up the courage to actually crawl through the break in the door that we managed to bust open. I must say this is definitely a fun memory of mine. However, it was a disappointment. If you guys have any questions or comments email me at pcaruzo17@yahoo.com. email me because i dont check back here often. anyways good luck and happy ghost hunting!

Yes yes, I do agree, this is a haunted place indeed. I have been there a few times myself, and there are some weird things going on there. The sad thing is, you have idiots breaking doors and stuff to get in, obviously for something to do and somewhere to go party, rather than actually wanting to find something paranormal. I mean, do you seriously think you're going to encounter something when you're stoned off your ass?? Come on.... you have to be of clean mind and body. Anyone who is really into this stuff knows that.... common knowledge, ya know?? Yes, Renee is right. People like you are the cause of this house, as well as many other places, are being torn down or condemned.

By the way.... Hey Renee!! How have you been??

You don't even understand how wrong you are. First off, ghosts don't like light so your flashlight probably kept them away. Also, it usually takes a long time for a ghost to show itself to newcomers and annoying people...

Obviously, the person in the previous text is a yankee with no knowledge of the supernatural! Regardless of what this person has experienced I have been there ndyes the plae is really wiery from the outside but is also just as from the inside. I am a paranormal investigator and have taken equipment inside the old house back in 2004. There was paranormal activity and I for one along with my team are certainly conviced that this place is truly a landmark for the paranormal. We were able to capture this on both our audio and visual equipment. So as for those of you that didn't see or hear anything, well I am sorry but we did. Aso, you can read about the haunt listed in a world reknown book by a reknown author called, "Encyclopedia of Haunted Places". As for the punks such as one of the previous writers from RI you are what gives the paranormal business a bad name and should stick to your day job.

just a couple nights ago. . . me and my sister visited this place, we went two different nights. the first night, we took pictures and saw "orbs" or however u spell it. and we thought we heard faint music and screaming. then just wednesday night we went back, and we took more pictures and didnt hear anything. then as we rode by the mansions neighbor was out, and we asked him about it being haunted. he said its just the fire department that made it to believe it was. so we left went home and out the pics on the computer. there were many "orbs" in the picture, but on two we saw a feminine figure is white lace. . . . i believe the mansion is haunted. and i intend to go in October.

MY family has lived in Spencer Mt. They are the ones who founded it and has for years lived there infact my mom stills lives there she is 80 years old and knows a lot about this small mill town my grandmother worked in the mill for years, My family's last name is Hoffman there is a book called "MY Kin". The house that everyone is writing about was used for the church and the family's that lived there to have parties i know this because as a young girl the church Spencer Mt. Baptist had parties there it used to be very pretty. All hard wood floors lots of windows But as far as haunted i would say maybe.

Dear Mat and Pat, Don't know much can't do much I guess. The house doen't belong to the city of Gastonia and they can't do anything to the house. They not only have a city police station but a county one as well and by the sound of it you should be in it. All of us in Gastonia as well as the towns around would be happy if people like you would stay away from these places we don't need people tearing up our history. Please get high somewhere elce. If you are high how do you know there wasn't anything there. Can you trust what you see and hear?

T'was just up there nigh the eve of 08/01/09 and seen some pretty weird stuff.
the place is haunted and all who goes there should beware of the supernatural.
We lost all battery power in our camera and camcorders and couldn't even shoot our footage.There appeared to be someone or something inside as we seen a black shadow pass by the bay window twice(eerie). The creepy drunkened neighbor told us to stay away but doesn't own the place.We believe the house is haunted and will return for further investigation at a later date.

I live a mile from this place. The website you saw is mostly promoting the Halloween attraction that used to take place there, but the mansion is actually haunted. I've been inside it three times during Halloween and I never saw anything out of the ordinary while I was inside. However, on many occasions I have been on the grounds of the house with friends and have felt/heard/seen unexplainable things. You can definitely feel the energy of spirits when you're there. There are two spirits that most people have reported seeing. A woman dressed in white, she is called Sarah. And a little blonde girl. I've never personally seen either one of these and I drive by this place everyday. But I have heard children's laughter and very faint piano music coming from the inside of the house on two separate occasions. Also, I have felt something touch me, almost like a hand on my side. Seemed to be that of a child since it was so low, as in not on my shoulder. I've never experienced any evil spirits there or anything that frightened me really. I've never been pushed or knocked down and neither have my friends. It's definitely worth checking out. It's also closed all year now, so you can't get in without breaking in. The windows are boarded up or covered in strong mesh. But being in the yard, you'll experience enough for it to be worth the trip. I don't know the actual street number but the town is one road, it's the only two story house, it's on a hill. You really can't miss it.

Oh yeah, don't bother taking a battery operated flashlight or camera, batteries last about 5 minutes at this place and then they die. I suggest taking a flashlight that you can shake to activate.

Have any of you people actually looked at the photos of this house? you need to check out the main pic and look at the front window that is slightly to the left. it looks like someone looking out the window. Gee, not to mention all the orbs everywhere. I'm impressed...it is cool. trying to think of its location. I used to work at the Pharr Yarns down past the Chevron store. I know that right before you get to that Pharr Yarns Plant if you look to your right as you go around the curve there will be a driveway with a gate. Always wondered what was down there. I hought maybe it was the entrance to the Pharr Yarns bldg that is beside the river.

Myself and four others spent about three hours wandering all around that house, inside and out, and the only thing we experienced were bats that were living in one of upstairs rooms. One of my brothers close friends has lived right next door to the Old Spencer Mtn. house for years and gone in and out of it many times himself and never experienced anything either. I love the paranormal and I'm not necessarily trying to discount the experiences some cliam to have had, but if you go it's not as incredibly active as some would have you believe.

Mat and Pat are only yankee infiltrators, bless their hearts. They don't understand our ways, our manners, nor our respect and appreciation for our cultural and historical places. People like them barge in, ruin our stuff, run down the value, then buy it for pennies on the dollar, only to pave over it and build their charm-free monopoly-board structures and bocce-ball courts. It is disgraceful, and they ought to be trespassed and barred from the South! Tar and feathers comes to mind as well. I've never heard any Southerner say they want to retire up north, and for good reason!

For months now ive tried to talk my friends into going with me to Pharr Mansion to spend 1 night in it and they want do it they say it sounds boring but to me it sounds awesome. Yea and i know about the NO TRESPASSING thing but i don't care about that so i was wondering if anyone one here is brave enough to accompany me on this once in a lifetime adventure. So im asking for 1 full night in Pharr Mansion so those who are brave enough leave your name and email and ill contact you.

PLEASE respect the structure and those things in it. And I mean the spirits or whatever you want to call them!! I went with a friend Tue. Nov. 23, 2010 about 10:00 at night. Me and my friend parked the car in front, got out and walked around to the back of the house. Not prepared to go ghosthunting, but I had a flashlight on my keychain, like a small maglight. It was working fine when we first got there. I shined it in the windows and all. In the back of the house, up in the second window from the left, we could both see something tiny, shining. Sort of like, a sequin. For about 3 or 4 min. we could see it until, of course, the battery started going dead in my flashlight. Later when I looked up Spencer Haunted mansion and got on this scary website I had been looking at even before, I saw a picture with orbs exactly where we could see the shining "sequin". Nothing wrong w/ being stoned out your gourd but just don't vandalize. This place is truly full of the paranormal. Like that website says, "the few who don't want to believe are just scared," or something to that effect. I'm very familiar w/ orbs and there's lots of them in the pictures on the "official" website. I will later take my own photos. Please do not break in or otherwise vandalize this truly historic landmark. I'm in agreement that if you go and act stupid and break in you will come away "empty-handed." You've got to believe and be calm, cool and collective. You've got to be very, very respectful. On that website it says you can be cursed by the souls in the cold ground below. So, be careful. I'm going to post that website address for those who don't know it. It's amazing.

I have been to the house many times and have taken many photos and video. Never anything supernatural. My dogs have never acted concerned either.  It is mostly just sad. Such a beautiful home just rotting away. I would buy it and move in if I could. It just needs light and life!
  I live in a mill house in Cramerton and It feels like it is haunted. This house makes the weirdest noises! I guess that is normal for a 110 year old house though.

My best friend lives in the house directly beside this (they share the same driveway).  His mother is now the mayor of Spencer Mountain.  We used to go in there all the time and just hang out, in the basement, upstairs, 2nd floor, and never felt anything weird.  He told me that the house was mainly used as a recreation center back when the town's mill was still in operation.  Although he did mention some one committed suicide in the house on the other side of it (corner of Cox).

Hey everyone! My name is Crystal and I am founder of the paranormal research organization, Paranormal Perception Crew (PPC). We are located in Fort Mill, SC. But we investigate haunted locations all over the east coast. We are very interested in Spencer Mountain Mansion and would love to conduct an investigation there. As well as figure out a way to restore this beautiful home. The only problem is....No one wants to claim the mansion. Every time we try to contact the "owner" of the property, we end up being passed off to several different people that have no interest in speaking with us, helping us, or returning our phone calls. It seems to be impossible to locate the owner of  this property. It has also been very hard to find any history on the mansion. So if anyone has any contact information for the property owners or any advice for researching the history of Spencer Mountain Mansion, Please email us at paranormalperceptioncrew@yahoo.com or contact us through our facebook page. 

Thanks
Crystal

Was just up at the Spencer Mountain mansion last night and seen an apparition of what appeared to be a young woman with a small child standing on the hill side behind the mansion. No sooner did we I see the apparition,it disappeared.
Then while at the front of the house, I heard what sounded to be a child laughing, from inside the room on the porch, I tried to take some video but although I had a full charge on my camcorder before I left the house, there was only 1 bar when I turned it on at the mansion then it just died.
I along with some of my friends from a paranormal group will be re-visiting this creepy place closer to Halloween to see if we can get some really cool pics and video.
I know people are going to have their own beliefs on this old place but I know what I seen and experienced and know this place, not just the mansion itself, but the entire grounds around the mansion are truly active with something , but what is it?

Well i know that most of y'all that come to this site for the stories of these places that are haunted but this post isn't about that its about what is going to happen to this amazing place that's been here longer than parts of the town and the surrounding areas, the mansion like other houses and stuff is going to be torn down because its old and they want to destroy it to make place for new stuff this house is apart of history and no one seems to care if its gone i  have called North Carolina' s Representative and get no comment on this subject and get hung up on, and i think something needs to be done to stop this from happening.....each time i pass by it it looks worse because people continually break in it and cause damage i think if enough people call the north Carolina historical society maybe something will be done...i don't want to see this house torn down i would like to see it restored.

It is true that there was a suicide on the other side of the house. I faintly remember the guy his name was Randy Brooks. It was my mom and dads good friend, well he was actually a friend of the family. He killed himself over his gf leaving him or something like that. Self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. I heard something at that house one night when I stopped by that was kinda freaky. We used to have a friend that lived in one of the houses going up the hill also. I would love to have some more info Rene. I'll check your site out.

I believe a Sarah Pharr built the house for her grandson but he had passed away before he had the chance to actually live in it. She made a vow that "no one is to live in the house". I live about 45 minutes away and I had my own small group there with me and we have had a lot of weird things happen to us as well. I had indeed caught a glimpse of the balcony light flicker once and the power line is not even connected to the house. Also, there were 3 drownings in the South Fork River back on the 4th of July in 1927. Considering there are desecrated graves there, I would be angry if someone built a house on top of me. If you look closely, there are headstones here and there and even foot markers around the mansion itself, some are hard to see because they have settled in the ground. I have personally seen a white silhouette of a lady on the balcony and in a window. I believe that Sarah, herself, is guarding the place and other spirits maybe fed up and do not want people around. I feel they need preserve the place as a historic site. The house that is next door, people still live there unless they moved out. When I do venture out there, I do sense a lot of sorrow, anger, uneasiness, being stalked. I do know for a fact, there were a few teens out there one night with a Ouija Board and one of the teens went missing and was never found. All in all, I sense there is a portal that was left opened and the residing spirits will continue to linger.

I live in Union County, NC and I have been to Spencer Mountain myself and I have seen some weird things I will never explain. I have had my own experiences along with my colleagues. With the history of the grounds and the mansion, I strongly believe that ought to leave the place alone. With the energies that place has and people vandalizing it through the years, I would be an angry soul myself. I feel they ought to put in the NRHP (National Register of Historic Places). If people are going to walk around, that's fine, let 'em, as long as no one vandalizes the place. It's been desecrated enough.
