In the forgotten borough, ghosts remember this place.
Kreischer Mansion in Charleston has a haunted past — and present, with employees hearing crying and furniture moving — and even seeing faces in photos they take of the historic house.
In 2005, it was also the site of the mob murder of a Bonanno crime family associate, Robert McKelvey , who was stabbed there by Mafia hitman Joseph Young, who was then working as a caretaker at the mansion.
“Then they cut his body up and burned him in the furnace,” said current caretaker Rick Rispoli, 63, who now runs haunted house and Halloween events there.
The gabled manse on Arthur Kill Road was built around 1885 by German brick magnate Balthasar Kreischer, who constructed twin homes for his sons, Charles and Edward.
