Haunted Trundle Manor:
History and Paranormal: Swissvale, PA

But as you approach the coffins resting on the porch, a heavy, unsettling energy takes hold. This is Trundle Manor, a self-described “house of oddities” that holds a real and deeply eerie history beneath its macabre displays.
The location represents a fascinating cross-section of spiritual energy. It is a place where residual human tragedy meets hundreds of historically charged, antique items that may carry attachments of their own.
Long before proprietors Anton Miriello and Rachel Rech (known to the alternative arts scene as Mr. Arm and Velda Von Minx) acquired the Victorian-style property in 2007, the house belonged to an intense local hoarder. Living isolated among mountains of forgotten objects, the former owner eventually passed away alone inside the home.
The Miriellos took over, they cleared away the debris but preserved the home’s historic, antique footprint. However, drastic changes to the deceased person’s primary environment triggered intense residual or intelligent hauntings. Many believe the original owner’s energy remains tethered to the property, watching over the strange evolution of their former sanctuary.
