As we get ready to celebrate the paranormal time of the year with fall, we take a look back at some of our very own local ghost stories. Have you ever drove past, or through, the Saint Agnes Cemetery? Allegedly there has been reported paranormal activity there. 

Saint Agnes Cemetery is located at 605 Arthur Street in Utica. It was founded back in 1851 and it's the burial location of many of the city's original Italian, Irish,Welsh and German immigrant settlers.

What kind of paranormal activity has been reported? Rumors on the internet claim that the spirit of a young lady roams the cemetery at night, along with a ghost baby who crawls along beside her. Is she a babysitter of the after life?

Who could these spirits be? One website points to a 1909 murder of a young girl and a baby in the rear corner of Saint Agnes Cemetery. Could this be the spirits involved?

September 12, 1909- 39 year old Theodore Rizzo lured 6 y/o Fannie Infusino, her 2 y/o baby brother Ferdinando Infusino and their 7 y/o friend, Theresa Procopio, to a desolate wooded area at the rear of Saint Agnes Cemetery, to a culvert area known as the “gulf”. Mr. Rizzo, who later claimed to have been under the influence of much drink, pulled a .38 caliber revolver from his pocket and without a second thought, fired a round at each of the children. Young Theresa sustained two gunshot wounds, the second, fatal. Little Freddie suffered a severe gunshot wound to the abdomen, and Fannie received a shot through her arm and abdomen. Rizzo ran from the area leaving the children for dead. Fannie somehow survived the night, tending to her fatally wounded baby brother. When the children were found the next morning, Theresa had already passed away. Fannie and Freddie, both mortally wounded and weak from blood loss were rushed to the local hospital, neither expected to make it. Freddie passed away soon after arriving at the hospital. Theresa Procopio and Ferdinando Infusino are buried in Saint Agnes Cemetery."

Kinda creepy right? Could these be the spirits at the Saint Agnes Cemetery?
