This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
The Cheney Mansion in Jerseyville, Illinois, didn’t start out as a stately mansion. Its history traces back to 1827 when it was known as the Red House. It was the area’s first frame house with two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. Over the years, it was not only a home but a stagecoach stop, a tavern, a doctor’s office, and a bank, and it even had a cistern that hid slaves searching for freedom on the Underground Railroad.
Over the years, the small Red House went from four rooms to a sprawling mansion of more than 12,000 square feet. Thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers, the home is in remarkable condition. This might explain why some former residents still remain in the home. Several spirits seem to still reside in the Cheney Mansion, including a former owner, P.D. Cheney himself. But he’s not alone.
Today on the Grave Talks, Part One of our conversation about the history and the hauntings of the Cheney Mansion with Roger Scheffel.
