Cynthia Butler has big plans for the historic home she’s renovating, which is becoming a spooky season destination, and which she insists is inhabited by friendly ghosts.
Cynthia recently went on cable access AOTV to promote and discuss the mansion project, a little history and what she has in store for the future.
Check out this video where Cynthia recently went on AOTV to talk about ‘Return to Hogwarts’ and the different events taking place at the Revival Wheeler Mansion and also around Orange, as well as how to learn more about them. If you are a Harry Potter fan, make sure to check this out!
The Wheeler mansion on East Main Street will be visited by paranormal enthusiasts and, with any luck, a few spirits this weekend.
A New York group called Misfits Paranormal is coming to Orange for a paranormal investigation while The Crooked Path, an occult apothecary store in Burbank, Calif., hosts The Symposium Khthonia, billed as “a spellbinding weekend of witchcraft and the paranormal.”
Melissa Savage of Misfits Paranormal said she and her crew will be on site to participate in “The World’s Largest Ghost Hunt,” which will take place at roughly 150 presumed haunted locations all over the world at around the same time on Saturday. She said she and her comrades will meet mansion owner Cindy Butler at the property and an investigation will begin at 11 p.m. Saturday, with a livestream lasting from 2 to 3 a.m.
The Revival Wheeler Mansion at 75 East Main St., the only Gilded Age mansion in the North Quabbin region, will host a Nov. 26 visit from jolly old Saint Nicholas for little ones from 5 to 8 p.m.
Owner Cynthia Butler is working with other members of the Orange Merchants Group, a voluntary collection of local businesses, to put together the free event to share with the community the grand mansion built nearly 120 years ago. Orange has a history of hosting Santa, usually at Memorial Park, though last year he was limited to a socially distanced drive-thru event at the Orange Municipal Airport due to COVID-19 health safety protocols.

Don Mailloux has sold a lot of houses in his 30 years as a real estate agent.
But none have kept his phone ringing off the hook quite like the old Wheeler mansion at 75 East Main St. in Orange.
“It really has blown up my phone,” he said this week. “My office phone takes 100 messages, and that was constantly full. My cellphone, I was getting calls day and night, texts and emails. It was just amazing.”
Mailloux said people flew in from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Las Vegas and California to take a look at the home. He said an offer has been accepted on the bank-owned property, listed at $98,301, and closing is expected to happen mid-July. However, Mailloux would not disclose who made the offer. An additional 20 people have contacted him to put in backup offers.
“It’s a stately home,” he said. “It’s very unusual to be in the center of town.”
