Payne Manor

Payne Manor is a building which was moved from the coast to a location near Watchtower 4. It was first mentioned by Nora in Episode 4.

History
Originally built on the shores of York, Maine by entrepreneur and amateur architect Joseph Payne at the turn of the 20th century. By 1915, following the death of Joseph Payne a mere year after the completion of the manor, it was turned into a luxury hotel.

Famous psychic Claudia Baker traveled there to investigate poltergeist activity and decided it was the most spiritually active location she had ever visited. She continued to host seances, eventually earning enough money to buy Payne Manor amid skepticism and suspicion. By the 1940's she was found dead in a rocking chair on the porch overlooking the sea, coincidentally the same way Joseph Payne had been found.

Owners following this lived average but satisfying lives, and eventually the final inhabitant was wealthy enough to transplant the entire mansion onto the Transcontinental Bridge. Despite the fact that there had never been a credible haunting in all its time on land, shortly after being moved to the bridge it began to build a reputation.

Eventually this was enough to lure the skeptical paranormal investigator Yvette Breckenridge to investigate the manor, and was most likely the location of her disappearance. Kate has a recording of Yvette's visit which seems to indicate she was attacked by a woman there.
