 Ghost Hunter Steals Nearly $2,500 from Norristown Preservation Society, Police Say

Steven Foersch, a volunteer with the Pennsylvania Underground Paranormal Society, is accused of stealing $2,472 that was supposed to be used to book the Selma Mansion.

The Norristown Preservation Society is pressing charges against a volunteer with the Pennsylvania Underground Paranormal Society(PUPS), after he allegedly stole nearly $2,500 in deposits for overnight visits to the Selma Mansion.

According to the police report, Steven Foersch – a case manager with PUPS – collected $2,472 for nine overnight stays at the mansion between January and July of this year, but failed to turn the funds over to the Norristown Preservation Society. Foersch was also given $150 to have a tree removed from the Selma Mansion property by the preservation society, but the work was never done and the money was never returned, police said.

The report also states that Foersch sent a text message to his ex-girlfriend, admitting to "borrowing" the money.

Charges against Foersch will be filed, per request of the Norristown Preservation Society.
