Lindsay Thomas Van Nice lived on campus at The United States Military Academy at West Point, New York during the nineties while her father, U.S. Army LTC David Thomas (USMA Class of 1975), was an Academy Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering.  As a young teenager, she experienced several strange and ghostly occurrences in the nationally historic-registered Officer’s Quarters that her family was assigned to on the West Point campus. This is her account of the paranormal activity that she, her family, and other friends witnessed from 1992-1997 while living in Lee Housing Quarters* at West Point.

This story also has ties to Lindsay’s father’s Cadet journey during the 1972 West Point hauntings that made global headlines for the United States Military Academy. The subsequent media frenzy at USMA would be overshadowed by events related to the Watergate scandal. Little did Lindsay know that while researching her own experiences in the nineties, that she would connect with her father’s timeline as a cadet at West Point. It corresponded with the visits of Ed and Lorraine Warren, paranormal investigators who rose to fame during the occurrences of The Amityville Horror and other encounters. Then-Superintendent Knowlton invited Ed and Lorraine Warren to inspect the wild occurrences of room 4714 in the Barracks and in the historic home of The Superintendent in 1972.

Linking these two stories together was the last thing Lindsay thought she would be doing today…but once she opened that door to the strange and unusual, she could not believe what she would find. Join Lindsay as she goes back a century in time to uncover what exactly happened in those USMA faculty quarters and the West Point Garrison many years before her family lived there.
