Snug Harbor Cultural Center Investigation

SIPS first investigated the Snug Harbor Cultural Center in September of 2006. 
We were granted access to buildings purportedly haunted including the Governor's House, the Matron's House, Cottage 3, the Veteran's Hall, E building and the Music Hall. We began our overnight investigation in the early evening and spent a few hours at each location.

It has come to our attention that another group is claiming to have been the first group to have investigated a location in Snug Harbor in 2009. We were first there in 2006 and have been back many, many times. We even led Haunted Tours there from 2006-2008. We just want to set the record straight...

The Matron's House

  • Pictures from the Matron's House:

  • This EVP was recorded by Amy in the basement of the Matron's House.  Present were Amy, Laura, Selene and Lenny. 
    A series of grunts are heard first and then Lenny speaks.   Right after Lenny speaks, a voice is heard. 




  • This EVP was recorded by Amy and Laura in a second floor room of the Matron's House.  They were in this room asking questions out loud because they had found a ouija board that had been left there by the previous occupants. 
    Amy asked, "Did you make the people leave?"   We believe this says, "I did. HaHa."  




  • This EVP was also recorded by Amy and Laura in a second floor room of the Matron's House.  We believe this says, "No. Keep back."  



 

The Governor's House

    This photo was taken outside of the Governor's House. Some residents of Snug Harbor's buildings were telling us stories of their experiences. Investigator Kristi took this photo.

    This photo was taken outside of the Governor's House looking up at the stairs before we entered. It seems odd to us that only the stairs are slightly out of focus. Obviously, the stairs were not moving!
