The Houghton Mansion in North Adams, Massachusetts was named for the family that commissioned its construction. Their biography is ripe for ghost stories with a tragic car accident leading to further deaths from broken hearts and suicides. The house then spent nearly a century hosting a chapter of the Masonic Order. The Masons have always carried an air of mystery around their organization with rumors of bizarre rituals, sacrifices and hidden knowledge. Many former Masonic temples and centers pop up on haunted lists and we have featured a few. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Houghton Mansion. The Moment in Oddity features Indiana Bell Building rotation and This Month in History features the Astor Place Riot.

Cory and Jennifer Heinzen have been investigating the paranormal for just around 11 years now. They have investigated some of the well known paranormal locations across the United States such as Pennhurst Asylum, Malvern Manor, Waverley Hills, Houghton Mansion, William Heath Davis House and Eastern State Penitentiary, just to name a few. Jennifer unlike her husband, enjoys a different aspect of the investigation all together. Wether it's the gathering of information, interviewing local historians or compiling the evidence for review, Jen finds happiness behind the scenes. Cory and Jennifer recently purchased the property that was the basis for “The Conjuring” movie back in late June of 2019. Since then they have been busy trying to figure out what really happened there and the history behind it. Since purchasing the home, both Cory and Jennifer have made more appearances together. They have been seen on Ghost Adventures, Kindred Spirits and even ABC's -To Tell The Truth.

As a guest interview on Laura London's Speaking of Jung podcast, Brian shared his personal paranormal investigations at the Houghton Mansion and disturbing research into the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination that points the finger at the government. Brian also talks about his masonic experiences, Freemason legends, as well as, a famous 200 year old ghost story about George Washington.

Bat Girl Radio- Listen in as Amy Jo interviews Mark F.MPI Founder & Director Rising from the ashes radio- Cory Heinzen was asked to join MPS in early 2014 after a rigorous 6-month evaluation period. He has been investigating the paranormal for only a few years, but in that time he's investigated haunted locations that include Rolling Hills Asylum, Waverley Hills Sanatorium, Pennhurst Asylum, the Houghton Mansion, Bobby Mackeys Music World, the Wolf House, the William Heath Davis house, the Spaulding Inn and Fort Knox among countless others. Unlike his fellow teammates, Cory didn't grow up around the paranormal or has ever lived in a haunted house. His fascination with the paranormal actually started back while he was serving with the U.S. Marines Corps. Recently retired from the military, Cory now enjoys his time at home with his wife and kids. When he's not spending time with his family, he can usually be found reviewing the countless hours of DVR recordings the team has stockpiled.
