 This fog is the perfect weather for us to check out the real house that inspired Disney's haunted mansion. It's perfect. This is going to be great. Let's go do this. Now when I say the inspiration for the haunted mansion, I'm talking about the look, the facade, the outside of the building because as you know Disneyland has a haunted mansion and that was the original one and it was actually located in New Orleans Square but when they were building Disney World they were looking for something because it was getting placed in Liberty Square so they wanted a mansion with more of a Victorian look to it and that's when the Imagineers came across this beautiful mansion and decided that's what it's going to look like. Before we get to the mansion actually, I wanted to show off a little bit of this beautiful town, Jim Thorpe. Look at it. The buildings are so just awesome. I love the clock tower. I love the old bricky looking kind of streets. This is pretty amazing actually. What a cute awesome town. I also wanted to give you guys a little more information about the mansion which is actually right behind me and we're going to get to that but a little backstory is always good. So anyways, Asia Packer who was one of the richest man's back in 1860, he was heavily into the railroad. His son recently got married and wanted to build a mansion next to his house and his son's name was Harry Packer. So the mansion that was based off the haunted mansion is actually called the Harry Parker mansion. Kind of confusing. Harry Potter. Parker. His father bought it for him and they're kind of right next to each other. So not only are we going to check out one awesome mansion but we're also going to see another awesome mansion. So the plan is to head right over to Harry's mansion and then come back and check out Asia Packer mansion. But Harry Packer's mansion is the one that was based off, well that Disney world based on the mansion's looks after. So I want to check that one out first and then come back and definitely check out this one because look at that. Amazing. Oh wow. Look at this little pathway. These cool benches. Oh, there it is. You guys ready? There it is. The Harry Packer mansion. Look at that. Here's a little side by side comparison. Oh, looks pretty good doesn't it? Wow. Let's get up there. Let's go look a little more. Wow. This is like blowing my mind right now. The Harry Packer mansion and it's actually a bed and breakfast in so you can come here and stay in this mansion. Look at the stairway. It's roped off though with a chain so I can't go up there and that's a little chain off up there but I'm going to see if anybody's home. It's kind of nifty and cool. Look at the cool windows though and the door knob. Look at the nifty stained glass. I always like stained glass windows. I walked around front because I want to see it from the front side and wow. It is magnificent. I really want to get up on that porch though. Honestly. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments. I mean I see a lot of similarities but I mean it's still just a gorgeous, gorgeous house. And like I said before Harry Packer mansion is also a bed and breakfast in and they do murder mystery weekends. That is pretty awesome. So you can look them up murder mansion dot com and check out all the cool nifty activities that they do here. Turn up behind the house because I think this is the way you check in if you were staying here. Oh they have a libations lounge but it looks like it's closed aww shucks aww man and I missed the self-guided tours Saturday and Sunday 1 to 4 only man. You just can't get enough of it. I'm like circling around the building finding ways to get in. You can't go actually inside the house. I did call and they did tell me they did not like filming inside the house so that's why I'm not going to film inside the house but you can stay here it's a bed and breakfast you can do a self-guided tour lots of great stuff. They even have a little park right next door right across the street. Just cross the street and look how pretty this is. Oh the bells are ringing it's like their garden or like if you were walking through the graveyard scene oh wow this is so beautiful here that's it I want to live here now yep my goal is to buy that house one day. I would live here and come sit out in my garden out front and just take in all the beauty surrounding me unbelievable isn't it check out that shot right there the house sitting on the hill I'm loving this I am like loving this that is beautiful right there oh man I see what Disney or the Imagineers saw in this place it is pretty amazing here you're so beautiful to me what do you guys think would you stay here that I would stay here they said the room rates are about 150 to 375 dollars a night I mean that's pretty good for a bed and breakfast and to stay in something so historical like it's totally worth it I mean I don't have money right now but I would stay trust me and it's on my bucket list now I'm coming back here I'm spending a night in that house it is gonna happen but until then my sweet sweet home away from home we're gonna go check out big daddy's house the bells from the church is really making it 20 times better being here right now I hope you can hear them I love it this equally is another beautiful mansion imagine sitting on that porch you're just looking out at that view wow legit view his life from his home wow oh something also really awesome that I just discovered back here this house was also a part of the underground railroad that is pretty amazing they have doors that was leading underneath this mountain like it's an escape goat I gotta show you look at that what is behind those doors amazing so love the life you live and we'll see you next time bye just one last look amazing got a long walk down the hill here oh boy there's a car coming oh I shouldn't be walking backwards
