I have been there and have a ghost video from the basement. Trying to go back to capture another video resulted in a fine of $150 (could have been worse, could have been cuffed). GO AT YOUR OWN RISK! Have a lookout for cops. The windows are now completely boarded up so prepartion would be needed to enter this demonic haven. Dont take any chicks, they get scared to easily, unless you know some awesome chick that aint gonna run away as soon as you enter. THIS PLACE IS REAL!!! But don't be convinced by merely what I say here. It is up to you to experience this fuked up place yourself. Bring a light, bring a cam, and pray to fukin god you don't encounter anything cause you will be fuked up for a while. Good Luck!!!

Francis Peabody, millionaire who built the mansion, died of a heart attack just a year after construction was finished. His family moved away shortly afterwards, selling the estate to the Franciscan Order. In the 1960's it was said that Peabody had been interred in a tomb, a crystal coffin filled with preservative fluid. The supposed tomb was the Portiuncula Chapel,a copy of the chapel of St Francis of Assisi. The Chapel had been built on the site of Peabody's death as a memorial to him. Rumor had it that the Franciscan monks patrolled the "tomb" area, and had stringent punishments, ranging from beating intruders with clubs to making them kneel on marbles or ball bearings and pray for the soul of the departed millionaire.

Apparently cops are pretty much always there and enjoy arresting intruders. The mansion itself holds tours and stage productions so if you try and break in at night and get caught, you're in BIG trouble.
