Following local folklore can often lead to long forgotten stories and sometimes those stories are more surprising than the legends. On a small back road in the town of Steuben lies a little church on 'Deadman's Hill.'
In a location such as the Thousand Islands, where there are (literally) a thousand islands, it takes something special to make a specific island stand out. Heart Island has the tragic past of the Boldt family, Dark Island has massive Singer Castle, and Longue Vue Island stands out as the only man-made island in the chain.
Historical Societies and Museums are an essential part of preserving our history but sometimes that history is more than the carefully constructed exhibits.
If you've ever wondered where you can investigate paranormal activity or stay overnight in a haunted hotel in New York State, the new Haunted History Trail website is the place to start.
The small abandoned island referred to as the "Island Of Madness" in the Venetian lagoon has just come on the market and all of its bloody history is becoming quite the selling point.
When it comes to historic sites with a reputation for being haunted the history that supports these reputations is usually a long and tragic one. Sites Like Boldt Castle and Munn's Mansion in Rutger Park have long histories with equally long accounts before the reports of hauntings begin to surface.
Every once in a while someone hears a strange hum that seems to fill the skies. There is a well known 'West Seattle Hum.' On March 30, 2014, a similar hum was heard over Basalt, Colorado.
It seems like we're getting more and more reports of sightings of Bigfoot every day. This sighting and video come from just off a college campus in West Linn, Oregon.
