# We Investigated the Historic 1890 House | Paranormal Investigation

What happens when the lights go out inside a mansion that's been standing for more than 130 years?

This time, we're heading to **The 1890 House Museum in Cortland, New York**, a remarkable historic mansion that was once home to industrialist Chester F. Wickwire and his family.

Built in the late 1800s, this incredible stone mansion has witnessed generations of history. But could some of that history still be lingering within its walls?

After exploring the house and learning about its fascinating past, **Jim and I returned to investigate what might still be there.**

Armed with our equipment, years of experience, and a healthy dose of skepticism, we explore the mansion after dark, looking for answers to questions that history alone can't always explain.

Are the stories surrounding this historic mansion simply stories? Or could there be something more?

**Join us as we investigate The 1890 House. Watch closely, listen carefully, and decide for yourself.**

And remember, just because something is unexplained doesn't automatically mean it's paranormal.

Step inside one of Cortland, New York’s most impressive historic homes, The 1890 House Museum.

Built during the Gilded Age, this incredible stone mansion was once home to industrialist Chester F. Wickwire and his family. From the moment you see the massive stone exterior, tower, detailed woodwork and elaborate rooms, you realize this isn’t an ordinary house.

Before we begin our paranormal investigation, we wanted to learn about the building itself.

In this episode, we take you through The 1890 House, exploring the rooms, architecture and history while learning about the Wickwire family and the people who once walked these halls.

There’s a lot of history inside this house. And as we’ve learned over the years, understanding that history can become pretty important once the lights go out.

This is the tour and history.

The investigation comes next.

Built in the 1870s for Sherman D. Phelps, this incredible mansion has survived while much of the world that once surrounded it has disappeared. More than 150 years of history have passed through these rooms, leaving behind stories, unanswered questions, and claims that some of the mansion’s former occupants may have never truly left.

We toured the mansion, learned its history, and familiarized ourselves with the property. Now it’s time to investigate.

As always, we went in looking for answers, not trying to prove a haunting. We document what happens, look for reasonable explanations, and let the evidence speak for itself.

What happens when the building gets quiet and we start asking questions?

Watch closely. Listen with headphones. And if you see or hear something we missed, leave the timestamp in the comments.

Did we find evidence that something remains inside The Last House Standing?

Watch the full investigation and decide for yourself.
