History & local legend
Kunkle's Mansion was an abandoned house in the woods outside Goldsboro, York County. Local young people said an unseen presence might follow visitors uphill, but that reaching the house brought safety. Experiences posted in 2009 did not always follow that reassuring rule.
One visitor recalled climbing alone around two in the morning and feeling pursued at the top. The same person remembered earlier visits involving lost flashlights and a friend nearly falling through a damaged floor.
Another group heard twigs breaking in the woods and saw a blue-white light at an upstairs window. When one of them turned for another look, the light had disappeared.
