Description

This week we’re heading to Philadelphia to explore the eerie history and paranormal claims surrounding the iconic Divine Lorraine Hotel. Originally designed by Willis G. Hale and opened in 1894, the building began as luxury apartments. Its most fascinating chapter began in 1948, when it was purchased by the International Peace Mission Movement, led by the controversial Father Divine. Revered by followers as a living god, Father Divine transformed the hotel into one of the first racially integrated hotels in the United States, creating a space centered on equality and affordable hospitality. Today visitors report doors opening and closing on their own, objects mysteriously moving, and carts rolling through empty hallways. Shadowy apparitions have also been seen. And perhaps strangest of all? The reports of phantom music drifting from Father Divine’s former penthouse… played backwards.

Ghost Hunting at Hill View Manor: EMF Spikes, Spirit Boxes and Alarm Bells Ringing

Join Paranormal in Pennsylvania as we investigate one of Pennsylvania’s most infamous haunted locations: Hill View Manor. This time, we’re joined by our friends from Crypts and Corks for a night of exploring the unknown. Throughout the investigation, we experienced unexplained EMF spikes, intriguing spirit box responses, and other moments that left us questioning who might still be roaming these halls. And the best part? We captured it all on film. Once home to hundreds of residents, Hill View Manor has long been known for reports of shadow figures, disembodied voices, and lingering spirits. Did we make contact with any of them during our investigation? You’ll have to watch and decide for yourself. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and join us for one spooky night!
