Belcourt has has various makeovers over the years, being a venue for raucous parties in the 90s and later offering offering ghost and murder mystery tours.
In 2013, Carolyn Rafaelian, a Rhode Island native, who purchased the property for $3.6million and remains the current owner, spoke to the New York Times, about the ghostly goings on.
She said: ‘There were energies and entities, some not pleasant. I had a shaman perform ceremonies. We did a major cleansing, energy-wise. There was a lot of heaviness, but we took care of that. Now the house has a different vibration.’

Belcourt Of Newport was first built with 60 rooms for socialite and sometime congressman Oliver Belmont, whose wife Alva Vanderbilt then revamped the place.
Pickwick Club founders Ruth and Harold Tinney bought Belcourt in 1956 – and the story took a bizarre twist after he died in 1989.
Ruth, then in her 80s, developed an emotional attachment to her home’s plumber Kevin Koellisch, who was then in his 30s.

According to records from a legal battle that pitted Kevin against Ruth’s son and daughter-in-law, the plumber was in a gay relationship and housed his lover at Belcourt while kissing Ruth in public.
Kevin persuaded Ruth to adopt him in 1990 and he obtained the Tinney surname, as well as eventually a partial interest in Belcourt, which caused the long court fight.
During the 1990s, the estate became the site of a notorious string of parties including one where underwear was reportedly banned.
Carolyn still owns the property now and has undertaken a renovation that pays tribute to Alva’s work, according to the house’s website.
