Premium Episode 52: The Baleroy Mansion One Strange Thing: Paranormal & True-Weird Mysteries

Chestnut Hill is a desirable neighborhood in the deliciously weird city of Philadelphia. But there’s very, very old American history there, too – so is it all that big a surprise that a mansion there is haunted? The real question is: between the death chair, the ghost boys, and the screaming parrot… who would film a music video there?
