What We Cover:

A fatal car crash. A devoted chauffeur. A mansion full of sorrow. In this monthly Minisode of This Old Haunt, host Melanie Malone takes you inside one of New England’s most famously haunted homes: The Houghton Mansion of North Adams, Massachusetts.

We’re peeling back the paranormal drama to get to the real story, a 1914 tragedy that claimed the lives of Mary Houghton, her father A.C. Houghton, and their chauffeur John Widders. What started as a scenic summer drive turned into one of the most well-documented hauntings in Massachusetts history.

From Freemason secrets and newspaper frenzies, to phantom apologies and a Pierce-Arrow with no brakes, this story has it all.
