The Mansion itself was built in the late 1600's to early 1700's by a wealthy English noble family.
The family owned the house up until the early days of the Revolution, but it would from then own pass through a multitude of property owners through the decades, due to a string of owners either dying prematurely of strange incidents or doing away with the mansions' ownership for unexplained reasons.
The mansion was owned by the state of Pennsylvania for a good 60 years, but was later purchased by a middle aged business man in the 1970's.
This business man recently died within the last year, and his daughter sold it to the father of the young college man, who plans to open it as a very lucrative tourist attraction as well as perhaps leasing it out to historical groups and maybe even leading it for documentaries and movies.
The mansion is said to have had a grizzly and black clouded history during its early days of ownership by the Beldingford Family, and many locals mumble about strange phenomenon and mysterious happenings on the property grounds and in the surrounding forest.
The greatest challenge was finding anyone for the night watch job.
