The Alder Mansion - Yonkers NY

The Alder Mansion (W.B. Thompson Mansion) has been a movie site staple in Yonkers for the past 10 years. Films such as "A Beautiful Mind",  and "The Royal Tenenbaums" were filmed there. More recently was an episode of WB's "Gossip Girl". I have always been infatuated by this place and came often when I was a child... only, of course, to be kicked out :(
The mansion was built in 1912 in the Renaissance Revival style by William Boyce Thompson, who made a fortune in the mining industry.

Re-discovering my spirit communication abilities is what drove me to visit again. Only this time Erin was lucky to befriend the caretaker, Chris (who, yes, was almost going to kick me out!). He and his cutie patutie lab-mix, Rufus, showed me around the inside. I remember the empty pool up the stairs on the right as the farthest place I have gone within the mansion.
Chris showed me the fantastic library where I did end up capturing tiny orbs along the red curtains. The biggest shocker was the 'baby's face' that I caught in a shadow by a bathtub. I did not see the face in playback but at the time, Chris informed me of the supposed 'Little Girl' ghost lurking around the mansion.

Re-visiting your destinations is always a good way to capture what you want. Next time, I will bring the meter!

 Creepy huh?

 Wonderful library. Tiny orb on red curtain on the right

 You can't see it that well, there was a barefoot print on this floor. The floor was sanded and redone. A few days later, the footprint was back.
