The Smith Mansion's paranormal activity

The Smith Mansion's strange, pagoda-like frame can look a bit spooky from the Cody-Yellowstone highway near Wapiti.

In March, the Powell-based Wyoming Area Paranormal Society investigated whether the spirit of the structure's inventive creator, Francis Lee Smith, was present at the site; Smith died while working on the landmark home in 1992.

Tribune reporter Gib Mathers tagged along with the W.A.P.S. team at the Smith Mansion and wrote about it for the paper, but we never shared the footage the paranormal investigators eventually posted. It being Halloween, now seems like a prime time do so.



On the website she's set up to help preserve her father's creation, www.smithmansion.org, Sunny Smith Larsen wrote of the Wyoming Area Paranormal Society's work:
"This was an amazing experience and I cannot believe what was caught on W.A.P.S. equipment. A lot of things have happened over the years, strange things. 
I have experienced many questionable things within the house, along with my mom, Linda. Friends and even strangers have told me about their experiences with "something" in that house. 
I am glad to know that spirits do haunt the mansion, but I am left with even more questions."
A follow-up W.A.P.S. investigation had been scheduled for the night of Nov. 11, but recently had to be canceled.
