CASE INFORMATION AND BACKGROUND
The original part of the Buckelew Mansion, or "Lakeview", dates back to 1685. It was a one-room house. Over the years additional rooms were added. James Buckelew moved into the house in 1829. Mr. Buckelew expanded the house to include the two-story front, which included, among other things, a wide center hallway, spacious double parlors and a wide, pillared verandah overlooking Lake Manalapan. Various other additions were made over the years, including the third story in the 1870s, so that today the house is a maze of twenty-three rooms, many closets, pantries, chimney nooks, and cubbyholes of various sizes and degrees of finish. Lakeview was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and the State Register in 1981.
The SJGR obtained physical evidence indicating a spirit presence in the building. The positive photos, EVPs and EMF readings all support this conclusion. The majority of the psychic impressions were obtained on the third floor of the building. ale and female spirits were felt to be in various parts of the building as well as a dog. SJGR plans further research at the mansion in the future.
