Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2024
- At the Abandoned SUMMERWIND MANSION on a ghost hunting expedition, we experience Strange PARANORMAL Activity including hearing Spirit Voices. Rumored to be haunted, the Summerwind Mansion aka Lamont Mansion burned down in the 80's after a years of creepy and unexplained (some say supernatural) events. The ruins of Summerwind remain abandoned today due to all the unusual paranormal activity.
A little Sumerwind History: Former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Robert P. Lamont purchased the property in the early 1900's. While living there, the Lamont family experience a number of terrifying and unexplained events. One night a ghostly apparition appeared from the basement. Robert Lamont grabbed his black powder pistol and shot at it. The apparition disappeared, and the bullet holes cold be seen in the basement door until the house burnt down.

No offense but the wind picking up isn’t odd especially near a lake
The wind wasn’t coming from the lake. And it was more like someone was blowing on the back of my neck. But yeah, I agree, not really odd. Our imaginations can create things that seem real at the time. So who knows? The members of Fox Valley Ghost Hunters believe they are picking up spirits with their spirit box. Maybe all we have to do is believe and it will be so.
My parents have had a place less than a mile a way from Summerwind since I was a little girl. When I was around 9 years old (1975ish) we took a bunch of family on snowmobiles to check it out. As I recall, the house was still pretty intact. I remember being in the kitchen and there were potatoes (yes rotting) in the potato bin. There was a really nice pool table in the basement - inside the arched stonework that is still there. The fireplaces had ornate paintings of peacocks around them. I remember one upstairs bedroom had lots of children's toys and clothing that were just left there like they left in a hurry. I have been looking thru my parents photos trying to find pictures of that trip - I know we took pictures inside. No luck so far - only outside pictures out on that stone area that still exists. I was driving home from college in the late 80's when I heard that it had been hit by lightning and burned to the ground. I revisited the site via ATV in the winter with my niece in 2008 and took 7 pictures of what was left. On the way out we were stopped by a black truck with two very large men (very terrifying) that happened to be DNR. Those 7 pictures cost me a ticket for driving an ATV on a road that wasn't allowed for around $250. I didn't care - I got the pictures and will always remember what the place was like before it burned down. We still vacation at my parents place and I always go by Summerwind on West Bay to say hi. Can't see it anymore from the lake but it makes me remember that visit when I was young and how beautiful it was.
This was great, I totally enjoyed reading your story! Thanks for sharing.
"I feel a cold breeze blowing on my neck." Yep you are in Wisconsin. LOL :P Just had to tease! Cool and interesting place with quite the history!
How am I just finding this!? Went there many, many years with my two cousins in the middle of the night. It is difficult to find, as mentioned...or at least it was then. We saw all kinds of orbs flying around the chimneys...mainly red and green colored. After seeing the show figure in archway at the 2:30 mark, all the goosebumps and creepiness came back to me!!!
Was the 2:30 mark on your TV? It was on mine. It's a different time on my phone
Sally...
Many years ago, when I was a young girl, my Dad, Mom, 3 brothers and my sister-in-law and I lived in an old farmhouse. When we moved in, there was a funeral wreath in an upstairs bedroom. They cleaned the house, we moved in and thought no more about that. Then late one night, we were watching TV in the living room. All of a sudden there was a very loud banging on the door. My Dad went to the door but nobody was there. It was an eerie feeling. My Dad and brothers went outside, but saw nothing. A few minutes later, it sounded as if someone ran thru the living room and bolted upstairs!
It sounded like a big man sat on the bed and threw his shoes across the floor. Then it sounded like he was moving furniture around.
My Dad slid the board "lock" in front of the door and they sat up all night. Come morning, they removed the board and went upstairs. Nothing was out of place!
When we had moved there, my brother was told "Oh, you live in the old head house!" We thought the previous tenant's last name was Head. Years later, my husband was talking with some friends and he asked if they knew anyrhing about that old house. They told him that a man had a terminal illness, (cancer) and one Sunday morning after getting ready for Church, he shot himself in the head in the barn. Fast forward a few more years and our daughter found the man's death certificate online. Cause of death: "self inflicted gunshot wound."
Same name as we were told, but not Head.
Same address.
After that night of sheer terror...
We moved as soon as we could...
😨
Oh wow, that story gave me the chills just reading it, Bonnie! Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy reading other people’s experiences.
@@SightseeingSally 💕
OMG!!! Yesssssssssss....Summerwind!!! Love it! I['ve been there back in 1999. During the day, it's just another beautiful spot in the trees, but at night....Oh BABY.....talk about a creepy spot.....Thanks for highlighting this spot Sally....
That’s sooo cool!! Then you KNOW exactly what this place is like!!! I’ve been wanting to check out Summerwind ever since I heard about it. When the opportunity came up, I jumped at the chance. Very awesome that you got to experience it firsthand, Ken.
Nice video. The photo you used at 9:35 and 10:38 was taken by me back in 1985. I was lucky enough to have visited 3 times back in the mid 80's. I believe I have the only photos of the bullet holes in the kitchen door where the ghost was said to have been shot at. Very cool place and thanks for posting the video.
Oh how cool! Do you care that I used it? I found it on the internet.
And, thank you, I'm glad you found the vid btw.
SightseeingSally I would only ask for a photo credit, but my comment serves that purpose, feel free to use the photo.
Thank you Todd, I appreciate that!
@@toddsummerwind did you have any experiences/encounters with anything paranormal while you were visiting the property?
This is the first site where I had orbs in my photographs but I never felt any bad vibes... In fact, all I ever felt @ the Summerwind Mansion was a great peacefulness. In all honesty, most of the stories that have circulated, have been greatly over done. The man who 's daughter lived in the home made a lot of the stuff up in order to sell more books. The fact is, its not haunted by any evil spirits. Ive been to only 2 sites where fear and dispair seemed be radiate from the ground itself and this is not one of them. Its all hype, although I have to say, the Summerwind Mansion is certaily one of the most beautiful sites Ive visited!
I didn’t feel any bad vibes there either. It’s a beautiful spot on the lake.
Wow. I hate when people lie or stretch the truth on UA-cam
I have never seen or heard a ghost, spirit or anything of the sort. I lived by a cemetery for around 6 years, it was in front of my house and beside my house. We lived on a curve in town. I would walk my dog at all hrs of the night through the cemetery. Never once did I see anything, one would think I would see something, but nope not one odd anything. I take that back, I did hear something, it turned out to be a herd of deer that I spooked. I also think that the radio voices that was heard was a person broadcasting somewhere near. But it did make for a fun show.
Thanks for the post card, it was a nice surprise. Loved the video, fun as always.
You’re welcome :) Thank you, I’m glad you liked it. For all I know the whole thing could be a dog and pony show meant to bring in $$. Or it could be tricks of the mind - stuff easily explained by psychology. Regardless, I enjoyed my experience and had fun listening to the spirit box recordings to see if I could pick out any voices.
Very cool video! Just found your channel through your Centrailia videos, and when you mentioned you're from Wisconsin my first thought was "wonder if she's done a video about Summerwind." Really enjoyed this, especially with it being part of a ghost hunt.
That’s really awesome, thanks Matt! Nice to hear from you. Hope to read more comments from you in the future. Have a great day!
There are so many haunted places in WI. My husband and I have some phenomenal footage which we only share with friends because I don't want it stolen! Old hotels, cemeteries, you name it!
I actually own the original blue prints to it and I am a Hinshaw family friend.
It sucks that this place got destroyed by a fire it would’ve been so cool to visit one of the most notorious places in the Midwest
I saw another explorer who went there before it burned down-he later posted it burned down. I think there used to be a ghost or poltergeist that walked up the basement stairs & one of the owner's shot at the door-I got to see the bullet hole in the door. Thank you sally!
Yeah, I would've loved to have seen it while it was standing but it burned down in the 80s before I was old enough to drive.
Did N E one see the figure walking from the left to the right at time frame... -16:07?? She apparently DIDN'T see it. It looked like a real person but spirits can manifest to make themselves to not be transparent
She didn't have her eyes peeled when that FIGURE walked by, B4 she walked under the arch!! Eyes open Sally
My wife and I where just there. Its not easy to find and we did respect the property. We didnt touch anything. It felt creepy and I wish we could of spent more time there. Someone is keeping the grounds in good shape though. Hope its gets rebuilt.
You don’t rebuild a house that has burned cause it will burn again
Oh wow!
I've seen a documentary or movie about this a good while ago.
Scary!!
Thank you for covering this!
So awesome! 💖
Thanks Bonnie 💖 I thought it was a really interesting and cool experience. I’m glad I got to share it with you.
@@SightseeingSally 💕
That radio thing really gave me the creeps! I’m just glad the power didn’t go out while I was watching 😀
I personally found it fascinating lol. I’m glad the power didn’t go out on you either, that would’ve made it even creepier.
Radiators are still found in many old homes. When I was young I lived in a few apartments in old houses that had them. Great heat and good for drying your socks. Nothing unusual about people dying in houses. My grandfather and grandmother died in my house. Other people also. I sleep in the bedroom and actual bed that my great grandfather died in. I never knew him. I wish he'd pay me a visit some night. I'd like to meet him.
He does visit you. Only, he does not want to awaken you or disturb you. No matter how you age, you are a child in his eyes. Most ancestors' ghosts do visit their living descendants, and you would never be aware of your family ghosts around you, them watching all the important events in your life. You are a baby in their eyes and they love you.
@@pinklady7184 I'm not sure that would be good. The next world is supposed to be a place with no cares or worries. Seeing your family in this world suffering from the problems and illnesses of this world would hardly be comforting to them. A parent would be distressed to see their children age and suffer the infirmities of old age and not be able to assist them.
I was part of the last family to ever live at Summerwind. I was 10 years old. I LIVED THIS HORROR! Craig is rep"Life" magazine. I KNOW THE TRUTH, AND YES, LIGHTENING DID STRIKE THE MANSION. YOU DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH!
How old were you then and how old are you now? What did you see? Could you please share the key points of how you lived that horror and why people died there without ever being reported. Thanks.
ok Sal, you just passed your audition for a Banshee with that warning at the beginning...lol... so maybe a video closer to Halloween with a walk through a cemetery and you in a Banshee costume...lol.... and Mabel can be your Hell Hound.....lol.... man o man that's a spooky place.... not sure if i'm convinced on that Radio Shack ghost radio thingy, but your video was spot on as always.... say Hi to the fam and be safe.....RICH
Lol, good thing, I've got a few Banshee gigs lined up for Halloween night. hahaha. I think our Beagle probably would do better as my Hell Hound than little Mabel. She has a set of pipes on her that when she howls, she can be heard in the next town over lol. Thanks, I will.
Ghosts? Seeing is beliving!
And I haven't seen................
👍👍👍
What a relief this was after watching way too much news, thanks Sally!
No problem, Dean! Thanks for watching. I agree, the news can get old - same stories, different day lol.
The quotes you put at the beginning of some of your videos make me think of the movie "The Car", with the quote at the beginning.
Anyway, that was interesting. I don't know what to make of any of it.
Oh how cool!!! I'm definitely a believer in the Paranormal and would absolutely love to go on a ghost hunt sometime. Very cool video! 💖💜💖
Thanks Suze 💖💖💖 Awesome, I think you'd have enjoyed doing this then!
Hi sweetness.. Haven't been on here in a little while. Great seeing your video's again. Keep em coming sweet cheeks❤❤
I was wondering where you've been. Good to 'see' you again. Thanks, glad you're enjoying the vids.
At 2.33 in video there is a shadow walking under the archway when the camera is moved
Cool, I missed that when reviewing the footage.
Which is clearly another person.
Could be, I wasn’t there alone.
@@Zorros2ndCousinTwiceRemoved ok if so how did said person disappear so fast?
@@jordanbusby6231 by moving behind the arch with their legs? jesus christ use your critical thinking skills.
Wow Miss.Sally that was fun thanks for going with that group and sharing with us that creepy place . I always wanted to go on a ghost hunt who knows maybe some day. Have a great week Be safe and have fun!
You're welcome Miss Barbara. I'm glad I could go, I thought it was a really cool experience! I hope you get to fulfill your wish 😊 Thank you, I hope you have a great week, too!
I love that I can watch this on a dark and stormy night. It adds to the atmosphere. Cool video!
How Spoooky!! Thank you Sandi, great to hear from you and glad you enjoyed the vid 💖💖💖
I did very much! The power still could go out lol. Never know with the storms here.
Pretty freaky stuff Sally. Thanks for sharing
Hope it didn't freak you out too much Tim, I don't want you to be up all night thinking about every little thing that goes bump lol.
They should rebuilt the house as a bed and breakfast.
This is so exaggerated! I actually lived there! I'm the Mary, in the book my grandfather wrote about this titled, "The Carver Effect," by "Wolfgang Von Bober." I am April who found the skull under the drawer and behind the wall. You have no idea what I have lived through. People making money off of exaggerations! I should make a 'TRUTH VIDEO."
Go for it, Mary. Or is your name April? I’m confused. First you say you’re Mary, then you say you’re April. If you expect people to believe you actually lived there you might wanna get your name straight first.
Names in the book were changed. April should very much make a truth video. I too have been involved with Summerwind and the truth is stranger and darker than most know. I've considered writing a book on the true story as well but the last thing the world needs is another book on Summerwind. I am the owner of Summerwind Restoration Society blog and cited historian of Summerwind Mansion. Feel free to contact me anytime April.
Thanks Joshua!
SightseeingSally I got an awesome podcast/radio you can check out hosted by Dr. John Ilias one of my two mentors. He used to work for Art Bell and he’s my attorney/best friend 🙂.
Ok cool. Email the info sightseeingsally@hotmail.com, I have my UA-cam comments set to filter out links.
Very interesting ! Sad it was burn down ! Haunted mansions & ships & so forth ! Its everywhere ! But I really enjoy this ! Why spirits hang around I don't know ? But there are always reasons behind it !
Hi Sally, cool breeze ? You felt a spirit ! Really haunted , alot activity !
Thanks Glenn, glad you're liking the vids. I wish I had been able to see it before it burned down. But, I was too young to go exploring abandoned places at the time and there's no way my parents would've brought me there to see it lol. I think you're right. I just didn't want to say it cuz ya know, it's spirits.
Yeah, there's things of this world we'll never understand. This is probably one of them.
It's all real , believe you me !
Sally this video was very entertaining. Great work! Remember to stay in touch my dear friend, I've not heard from you in a long while, hope all is well with you? Take care mate and travel safe :)
Thank you kindly, glad you enjoyed it. Please refresh my memory, how do I know you?
you dropped a comment on my channel some time ago and we got talking about travelling :)
Oh, that’s right. Thanks for reminding me. I’m getting forgetful in my old age lol :)
SightseeingSally ...well I didn’t like to say :)
I don't like being scared and this video scared me. 😲
Maybe a phone call directly to Dr. Phil can help you with that lol 😂
@@SightseeingSally haha maybe
Now I won't sleep tonight!
You could always watch one of my other videos. Try Rocky instead, nothing scary about him.
Did you edit in a dark figure at 2:30 ?
I can’t believe you caught that black figure at the beginning!!!
Where?! I missed it!!
2:33 ! Goes left to right, disappearing behind the stone wall in front of you
Ok, thanks!!
Rebuild on whatever foundation may be reusable!
Read about it a lot but have never been there . I would love to see it.
FYI - Fox Valley Ghost Hunters usually sponsor events there during the summer months. Check out their website and Facebook page for future opportunities.
I wanted to explore with some people tomorrow and do some ghost hunting. How do you get permission to go on the property
I would contact Fox Valley Ghost Hunters and ask them.
Maybe this is the real Screech house?
If that's the case, I'd hate to think what was happening down on that dirt floor lol 😂
You're not going to find anything! Hate to spoil this for you, this whole story is way off of the truth! Nobody died here. My bedroom faced the lake. Yes, the information is incorrect. It burned down by lightning. The stone ledge was a huge veranda and the arches went under into the basement. I'm April, I was 10 years old. Nobody came to investigate the bones. These pictures were from my family. This guy must have read or watched the "Discovery Channel." He had the most accurate information. This ruined my family. There was rape, attempted murder, abuse and severe poverty. Nobody actually died in the buildings. There were several buildings beside the huge home. There were caretaker residents, and a laundry facility and a huge garage. It was a huge property, and there was only the lady who lived down the road who would never step foot on or in the property. The bathtub was on the second floor and you could see out to the lake from the veranda. Those bed frames were ours. We left at Christmas time and then within a month people stold everything, even the velvet wallpaper right off the walls! Makes me sooooo angry. It burned down by lightning. My uncle was there.
Did it really burn down by lighting I've read that the town burnt it
I'm very interested in this house it really intrigues me it was a very beautiful house by the pictures I can see how a house can draw a person in..I grew up In Chicago and my family had cottage in mignong wisconsin on lake Gilbert with 2 vacant fishing cottages I never got to explore
Is it free to visit ?
No, unfortunately it’s on private property and the group who manages it charges a mandatory “donation” to visit it.
They not being haunted because they was a servants house as well that was haunted not far from it
really fake. contrived voice. fakes.
