I have looked everywhere for "pre-burn" pics and I haven't found any. I didn't get to see it before the blaze.

I just moved here, I wanna know exactly where this is!! haha

[xjmoe83]

Its pretty much at the intersection of Rt 81 and Rt 114. Once your there, look around you cant miss it. Its on the northbound side in a field.

John P Hall, the owner, google him online with the title Hall Tower to know the real history behind the mystery.

[xjmoe83]

Hey, Thanks a lot ! I asked around and some people were telling me it was robert hall. But i just google'd John p hall and sure enough!

As someone who went to that house as a family friend, this video is pretty sad...as are some of the comments here. Many of bad comments here are factually incorrect.

That said, the Hall family that occupied this house was vibrant and had an optimistic outlook. Everyone in that family was nice.

Its amazing--if you know some of the background and some of the people, there is nothing creepy or spooky about the house or the video.

BTW:

@ 2:08 "What the heck was this?"

It was a squash court.

actually Mr. Halls is a freak. Mrs.halls lives right down the street from me know they had 4 childern t. Mr. Hall use to to own Halls trucking. He stole money and didn't pay his taxs. when I was a kid I lived across the creek from the tower and Mr.Hall use to shoot at people on his property and people's dogs. My mother use to work for Mr. Hall in the 80's and his Christmas parties were filled with coke and crazy things. Mrs. Halls is really nuts might be from all the cocaine she did.

@51SLINK sweet kid notice i said i heard it not oh yea i pushed my best friend down the shaft

@ltd6996

Another dumb ass. Ernie was not pushed down the elevator shaft. I am one of his friends that found him at the bottom of the shaft.

[51SLINK]

@mountholyoke You're a dumb ass don't open your mouth if you don't know the real story. Those storys are false I am one of those friends and I can tell you that we did not leave him for dead at the mansion or on someones doorstep. Ernie was pronounced dead at the hospital after we got him an ambulance.

@SorrowfulLesson It was never meant to be a carillon. My mom knew his daughter Kim. He had a fetish for Elevators.

My grandmother was in there before it burned down. In fact, I think the Hall family (though tainted by rumors/convictions of money embezzlement and scamming) is still living... They never connected him to the fire, either. Oh, and the property is owned, currently, by his son or grandson or some such. And yes, it is private land. Also, the tower, I believe, was meant to be one of those musical instruments, it starts with a C... Can't remember what it's called now, though. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That check has to be a fake! With the amount of teenagers partying there and all the other traffic in and out of there someone else would have clearly seen this laying there.

John Hall was a nut ball and a thief. His ski lodge burned down, his stupid house burned down and he scammed his father out of money. This tower was part of his house. The property is now owned by someone esle and it is private land so keep out.
