Caleb
Pusey House and Landingford Plantation, Upland, Pa. May
13, 2006 9:00pm - 12:00am
About the house
Built
in 1683 and occupied up to 1950, the Caleb Pusey House is the
oldest continuously standing building in southeastern
Pennsylvania. Caleb Pusey, whose real last name was
Bartholomew, was a personal friend of William Penn. He came
to the Landingford Plantation at the request of Penn to build and
run a mill along the Chester Creek. This mill would provide
lumber to the "First Purchasers" (people who, for
religious reasons, escaped Europe to start over in the New World). Pusey ran the mill until 1717 when he and his family moved to East
Marlborough Township. The house was then occupied from 1792
- 1845 by the Flower family. After that the house and mill
was sold to John Price Crozer, one of the industrial barons of the
Christian Revitalist movement. Crozer built a wall around
the house and moved the African-American midwife of the community
, Mother Jones, into the house where she lived there with her
family for the next 60 years. The house was occupied by many different families after the
Crozers left the area. In 1950 a group of Quaker women lead
by Josephine Albrecht attempted to restore the house to it's
original look. Tours are available on weekends through the
Friends of the Caleb Pusey House, Inc. |

| Our
Findings |
| The Caleb Pusey House actually
consists of three different buildings which were investigated by
PIPR. They were the School House, The Caleb Pusey House, and
the log cabin. Of the three the log cabin seemed to be the
most active by our investigators. Two different
investigators sensed sickness upstairs, independently of each
other, with one being completely overwhelmed and needed to be
brought out of the building. At the Caled Pusey House,
Investigator Williams sensed Revolutionary War Soldiers outside by
the front door.
Physical evidence was modest with only 59 positive photos out
of 618, roughly 9%, and there were no EVP's (Electronic Voice
Phenomena) or fluctuations of either temperature or
electromagnetic field (EMF).
PIPR concludes that any paranormal activity at the site is
residual (a non interactive haunting which is much like watching a
video) and would like to thank the Friends
of the Caleb Pusey House Inc. for their hospitality and
cooperation. |
