One afternoon I took my nephew by the mansion as he loved haunted things. I pulled in to the driveway at the end of the street and he got out and walked around the house (I remained in the car). When he got back he stated that he wanted to come back after dark. What he didn’t realize was that I was unable to get the car started. It took about 5 minutes before it would start. Later that night my nephew and I along with my son (not a believer in ghosts) and his girlfriend went back to the mansion. This time I parked across the street. My nephew got out of the car and when my son realized I wasn’t getting out he stayed in also. My nephew walked around the outside of the house again. While we were waiting we were watching for him at the top of the driveway. After about 10 minutes we saw him just standing there not moving. Then all of a sudden he came running toward the car and jumped in and told us to drive off. We drove a few miles away with my nephew babbling about someone named Loretta in the yard that kept telling him to come visit her. We stopped and my son and I looked at each other and realized that my nephew was wearing a black t-shirting not a white one like we saw at the top of the driveway. To this day my son gets shaken up when anyone talks about Pharr Mansion.

Spencer Mountain Road, Spencer Mountain. Big white house on the hill. It has deteriorated a lot so be careful. Been there many times to photograph it. No ghostly activity.
Maybe not for you but I promise you…it was very much haunted.
This is the inside of Spencer mountain mansion
Day trip inside the mansion
My daughter, son and I took a day trip as I was dared by one of my co-workers to check this place out. This was back in 2016 and I have never posted regarding our experience. We arrived at the mansion and I parked across the street. I was driving my brand new car, that had a push button start. My daughter and I walked up the hill and entered through the back door which had a great hole about waist high. My son stayed by the car across the street as my daughter and I entered the mansion. There was a iron railing staircase on our right leading upstairs. My daughter started up the stairs and I immediately felt a chill run down my spine. We were in the house less than five
Unites and I wanted out. I have never experienced any type of paranormal activity in my life so I sasn’t sure if maybe I psyched myself out, however, after nearly running back to the car, my brand new car wouldn’t start when I pushed the push button start. Additionally, when it finally started after I kept pushing it for about three minutes, my navigation system was not working. It started working a few miles from the house. Additionally, I totaled my car less than two weeks after visiting this mansion. We did snap pictures of the front of the mansion before entering, but I didn’t want any part or reminder of that place, so I deleted all of them. The place is eerie and I would never go back again. Crazy and maybe all circumstantial….
Sadly, this house has been torn down. There is nothing left.
This home has been used as a haunted house attraction in the past. It has now been torn down because people wouldn’t stay away.
This house has been demolished because it became to dangerous and people wouldn’t stay away.
Unfortunately this place has been torn down.
does anyone know who owns this property ?
Last I knew the town owned it.
I really seriously have seen someone in a white dress in the upstairs window on the side of the house.I went there because people had always said it was haunted and I was like yeah whatever I’m not scared let’s go.Well,best believe it was haunted,There was a basement door open and I walked in it,I stepped in about 5 or 6 steps saying “hello” Hellllloooo” and 5 seconds later it sounded like a 2×4 fell into the floor off in the distance in the dark part of the basement and when I went to go running back out the door it was moving like it was opening up further.Being about 30 years old when this happened it truly was bone chilling for me not to mention when I was out in the grass on the property seeing the woman in the upstairs window.Creepy for real.I know my eyes are great and so are my ears.This place truly is or was Haunted..I noticed about 2 weeks ago that it has been removed from that property but I’m sure the property is still haunted…
Back in 2005 maybe my friend and I sent a video we took one night to then then mayor of the town. He sent it to the local public television station, who aired it that year on a Halloween special of real haunted places in the area. We were invited to come in with a paranormal investigation team and to come back for the haunted house as the mayor’s guests. Yes I can confirm that the house was truly haunted as well as the grounds surrounding the house. From my understanding that area used to be a cemetery. That’s what the older gentleman that lived up the road told us anyway. Never could confirm this. If you go on the road behind the brick church where Spencer Mtn. Rd runs into the other road, there is an old cemetery up there across from the houses. Also there are some graves further up the road from where the mansion used to be. Back to the mansion, there is a lady in a white dress that walks the grounds at night. Even though the house is gone, I’m sure she is still there. I don’t believe she was attached to just the house. There were a group of teens one night on the property playing music on a boombox when we arrived. We parked across the road hoping they would leave so we could do another investigation, This was after our video had been aired showing the woman in the white dress “floating” by the tree. We were watching and I saw a shadow come from the back of the house around the side furthest from the driveway toward the front of the house. The boombox immediately crashed to the ground and all the teens ran screaming and jumped in their cars and left. We stayed across the road for a little while instead of going on the property. We felt like the ghosts had been bothered enough that night. This place was and is truly haunted. The woman isn’t the concern. There is a male spirit there also and he clearly does not want to be disturbed.
