Rivercene Mansion is described as a reportedly haunted historic Victorian mansion in New Franklin, Missouri, with a long history of family tragedies, including the deaths of children and the owner, and a recent transformation into a haunted Bed & Breakfast, which intensified its reputation for being haunted. Stories of the paranormal are often linked to the tragic deaths of the original Kinney family members who built the house, and the mansion's history of neglect and repair cycle. Built in 1864 by steamboat captain Joseph Kinney and his second wife, Matilda, the mansion has been a site of tragedy, with eight members of the Kinney family dying in the house. Six of the eleven Kinney children died before the age of seven. The youngest son, Noble Kinney, died a tragic death after falling from the second-story balcony down the main staircase. In 2011, Donn Upp and Joe Ely purchased the property and turned the mansion into a haunted Bed and Breakfast. Upp's previous work as a writer and his book "Ridge Cliff Manor" had already cemented Rivercene's reputation as a haunted place. The mansion is said to be haunted by the spirits of its previous owners, particularly the Kinney family. While specific details aren't readily available, the mansion's history suggests the potential for unexplained phenomena.
