A little known factory town was home to the Kreischer Mansion, which actually had a twin. There were two exact mirror-image homes that sat next to each in Staten Island, fittingly owned by brothers. Only one of them remains and it changed ownership many times over the years. There were deaths on the property and people took to calling this the murder house. It very well might be a real life haunted mansion. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Kreischer Mansion. This Month in History features the birth of Hedy Lamarr and was written by Jim Featherstone.

Egypt is a land of ancient treasures and wonders. Pharaohs were honored in death with immense public monuments and tombs like pyramids, temples and obelisks. The Old Kingdom of Egypt built their places of death in Giza and the Nile Delta. The New Kingdom pharaohs of Egypt wanted to be buried closer to their dynastic roots and they had their crypts placed in the hills of Luxor. This area became known as the Valley of the Kings. The Valley of the Kings would end up housing the remains of at least sixty Egyptian nobles, including pharaohs from King Tut to Ramses II. There are more than tombs here though. There are tales of curses and hauntings in the Valley of the Kings.

Have you ever heard someone say of another person, particularly a child, "He had the face of an angel." It's an interesting description, but we all understand that it means something along the lines of beauty or innocence. There are stories in the Bible of people who literally seemed to have the face of an angel. What made these people shiny? And is it possible that seeing YHWH could kill someone?
