A Night of Paranormal Hauntings at Chace-Cory House

A Tiverton-based paranormal investigation organization is holding a search for spirits inside the 1730 Colonial-era Chace-Cory House on Saturday.

Those who come to the investigation will get the chance to use powerful ghost-hunting equipment to find paranormal spirits in the house.

Riseup Paranormal doesn’t use ouija boards of crystal balls to look for paranormal activity. “We’re a science-based group,” DeCosta said. “We come at it academically.”

Riseup Paranormal has discovered some instances of paranormal activity at Chace-Cory House in previous investigations. The last investigation held was in 2012, said Riseup Paranormal director Ken DeCosta.

“It’s one of those places that holds our interest,” DeCosta said. “Every once in awhile we like to go back.”

The day of paranormal activity begins at Fort Barton at 3 p.m.

Fort Barton has been investigated by Riseup Paranormal and is full of local stories, said Tiverton Historical Society member Christopher Blanchette.

The investigation will move onto Chace-Cory House, 3908 Main Road, from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Two representatives from Riseup Paranormal will monitor the environment of Chace-Cory House using powerful ghost hunting and digital recording equipment.

“There is a high chance of paranormal activity,” Blanchette said.

A group of male-only Riseup Paranormal investigators once recorded a female voice in the Chace-Cory House. In another instance, DeCosta said investigators recorded a spoon in one room that was found in another room without it being physically moved by someone in the house.

“On occasions we’ve recorded some pretty interesting sounds there,” said DeCosta.

Event proceeds will benefit the Tiverton Historical Society.

Small groups of 6 or fewer are welcome. Cost is $25 a person.
