Ep. 74 Haunted Hillview Manor: America's Most Active Paranormal Hotspot

Scalarious

What happens when the owner of a genuinely haunted building admits she’s terrified to walk its halls alone? Welcome to Haunted Hillview Manor, where the paranormal isn’t just a business model—it’s an unavoidable daily reality.

Built in 1926 as the Lawrence County Home for the Poor and Aged, this imposing structure in New Castle, Pennsylvania has witnessed countless lives begin and end within its walls. From its origins as a poor farm where residents worked for their keep to its later years as a nursing home where many spent their final days, Hillview Manor has accumulated layer upon layer of emotional and spiritual energy.

We’re joined by owner Carrie Triko and investigators Sandy and Dale who reveal what makes this location unique in the paranormal world. While many haunted attractions struggle to produce evidence for visitors, Hillview’s staff report that 70-75% of visits include unexplainable experiences—from shadow figures darting across hallways to disembodied voices and physical touches. Sandy shares her chilling encounter with a full-bodied apparition of a man dressed in black, an entity later independently witnessed by an investigator who had no prior knowledge of her experience.

Perhaps most compelling is Carrie’s refreshingly honest admission that despite running a haunted attraction, she personally avoids spending time in the building alone. “I put my radio on as loud as I can because I don’t want to hear all this area,” she confesses, adding credibility to the claims about the property’s activity. During our interview, we captured unexplained movement on camera multiple times while the team heard unexplained noises behind them—a live demonstration of why Haunted Hillview Manor has earned its reputation as one of America’s most consistently active paranormal locations.
